Vapor Phase Profiling

SOLDERSTAR’s vapor phase profiling tools give manufacturers clear, repeatable insight into how assemblies heat and solder within vapour phase systems. Designed to handle the unique conditions of this process, they provide the data needed to set up, verify and maintain stable, high‑quality results across any vapor phase line.

Solderstar’s Vapor Approach

Solderstar recognise the importance of Vapor Phase soldering and offers a comprehensive solution for both Product and Process Profiling.

Vapor Phase Product Profiling

For Vapor Product Profiling Solderstar offers the VP-10 SLX system. Its 10 temperature measurement channels can capture detailed thermal data from high-mass components like heatsinks to low mass tiny components, giving full visibility of your process in a single run. Designed for demanding vapor phase processes, it supports vacuum-stage operation at high temperatures.

Vapor Phase Process Profiling

For Vapor Process Profiling we offer the VAPORSHUTTLE SLX system. This system allows periodic checking of the vapor phase process by way of a standardised thermal test fixture consisting of:

  • 6 Matched thermal masses which measure the thermal transfer of the vapor.
  • 4 Accurate in-process vapor temperature measurement sensors.

Together this allows confirmation of uniform heat transfer and quickly identifies if any issues are caused by equipment problems or by PCB design.

The benefits of the Solderstar Vapor System

Solderstar Vapor systems are designed specifically to improve measurement, setup, and ongoing control of the Vapor Soldering process.

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.
