Solderstar are market-leaders in reflow profiling, allowing for consistent and repeatable results.
The Challenges of Reflow Process Verification
Manufacturers struggle with hidden thermal variation, shifting product mixes, and tight temperature‑control demands that are difficult to verify without true board‑level visibility. Oven drift and unstable profiles increase the risk of missed ramp rates, poor wetting, or excessive TAL.
When throughput pressures collide with limited insight, defects like voiding, tombstoning, and component damage become costly, recurring threats.
- Limited visibility into real board conditions makes defects harder to predict and prevent
- Oven drift, unstable profiles, and constant adjustments increase the risk of expensive failures
- Throughput pressure amplifies process instability, driving up scrap, rework, and customer returns

The benefits of the Solderstar Reflow System
Solderstar solutions are designed specifically to improve measurement, setup, and ongoing control of the reflow process.
Accurate Profiling of PCB Temperatures Across Multiple Points
Allowing for an improved first-pass yield.
Fast Setup and Optimisation
Providing clear data feedback and reduces the potential for defects and reworks.
Verification against process limits
Allowing for faster product changeovers.
User-friendly software
Designed to simplify complex variable data into actionable insights, providing greater confidence in process stability.
Profiling Software That Turns Data into Control
Probably the most important part of a profiling system is its software. The software allows process data to be captured, stored, organised and analysed to determine the current process state.
Modern profiling software offers much more than this though, incorporating sophisticated process recipe search engines which allow a process to be optimised for maximum quality and throughput. SPC tools allow engineers to track process stability and warn when corrective action needs to be taken
Solderstar software has a modern look and feel. Important data is displayed in an easy-to-understand form that Process Operatives and Engineers alike feel comfortable with.
A Unified Platform, Not Isolated Products.
Solderstar’s integrated platform brings the SLX datalogger, process‑specific hardware, and advanced analysis software together in one streamlined system, giving manufacturers a seamless workflow from data capture to insight. With everything designed to work as a single environment, it removes compatibility headaches, speeds up decision‑making, reduces operator training to virtually zero, and delivers consistent, standardised process control across every production line.
Frequently asked questions
No, one datalogger can be shared and used across different lines and processes. For example, you can use a single datalogger to capture data from reflow, wave and vapor phase processes from separate Reflow, Wave and Vapor Shuttles. No setup is required by the user.
Absolutely they can and without any specific training.
Using a process shuttle with the SLX logger, an operator can capture data from the process with zero setup required:
Simply dock the logger onto the shuttle, power up and start recording with x2 button presses.
At the end of the run, stop recording with a x1 button press and remove the datalogger.
With Process Central software running, connect the datalogger and click to download.
In addition to standard Temperature, Vibration and Line Speed, Vaccuum and Oxygen parameters can also be measured in a single pass at full process heat.
Solderstar offers process specific shuttles which are robust instrumented fixtures specifically designed to allow important parameters from the process to be periodically measured and maintained.
