SOLDERSTAR LLC
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA

SolderStar Ltd is a recognised technology leader in the design and manufacture of thermal profiling systems for electronic soldering processes. Based in Manchester, UK the company offers the most comprehensive range of process control solutions for Electronic Manufacturers. SolderStar personnel have over 60 years of combined temperature profiling experience, combined with in-depth industry and process knowledge, and a ‘can do’ attitude to product and process improvement. When SolderStar launched its first product offerings, lead-free manufacturing was, for most in the industry, a dot on the horizon. For SolderStar, lead-free soldering was already upon us. It was recognised early-on that soldering within electronic assemblies was set to go through something of a revolution, with new thermal processes needing to be established and controlled like never before. It was seen that electronics manufacturers all over the world would need improved thermal profiling solutions capable of meeting the demands of the newly emerging thermal processes and advancement in soldering machines and ovens. To respond to this, SolderStar developed class leading instrumentation and software that streamline the whole profiling process across reflow, wave, selective and vapour phase soldering processes. SolderStar has grown from strength to strength, completely dedicated from the outset to the needs of the electronic manufacturer. SolderStar is committed to excellence in design, customer support and product innovation. Today, SolderStar products undoubtedly have ‘raised the bar’, and will continue to set the standard through our commitment to continual improvement of our products, and our ability to combine powerful functionality with robustness, accuracy, and simplicity. SolderStar introduces solutions for industry 4.0 providing 'big data' connections for reflow ovens and wave solder machines. Solderstar Smartline systems providing Industry 4.0 connectivity for smart reflow ovens and wave solder machines at Productronica 2015. Solderstar customers enjoy the benefit of knowing that you have invested in a professional solution which has already proved itself, in 1000s of facilities around the world, in being able to stand up to the rigours of regular use.

Solderstar is one of the world’s leading thermal profiling solution providers, with over a decade of specialising in the design, development and manufacture of profiling systems within the electronics manufacturing industry. Our range of products satisfies all of today’s thermal process control needs, from full-feature high performance product profiling for reflow, wave, vapour and selective solder processes, to fully integrated SPC capabilities for continuous quality and process control. Products are available individually or in packages that are tailor-made to suit the technical and budgetary requirements of all electronics manufacturers, whatever their size and needs and wherever they are in the world. SolderStar introduces solutions for industry 4.0 providing 'big data' connections for reflow ovens and wave solder machines. Solderstar Smartline systems providing Industry 4.0 connectivity for smart reflow ovens and wave solder machines at Productronica 2015. Clearwater, FL - Solderstar, will be showcasing its full range of smart thermal profiling solutions at the IPC Apex Expo, held in San Diego between February 27 The Solderstar systems feature the innovative ‘Smartlink’ connection system that allows one datalogger to be used with a range of intelligent fixtures. This unique concept provides profiling solutions for reflow ovens, wave solder machines, mini-wave or dip soldering machines, and the vapor phase process. The latest Solderstar PRO range of 2.4 GHz wireless profiling dataloggers will be available for demonstration, along with the ‘AutoSeeker – Automatic Profile Optimizer software’ products. The AutoSeeker system searches for optimal profile solutions within constraints defined by the engineer, saving huge amounts of time compared to traditional manual approaches. Visit Solderstar at IPC Apex and discover how Solderstar tools are helping engineer’s all around the globe with their process setup, optimization and ongoing traceability. Solderstar showcases its latest generation of smart profiling solutions at Productronica 2017 Solderstar, a leading provider of profiling equipment for the electronic manufacturing industry, will be showcasing its latest range of thermal profiling solutions at the forthcoming Productronica 2017 exhibition, held in Munich, Germany. Mark Stansfield, Solderstar commented: “It has been a busy year at Solderstar, with many new developments and improvements within our range of smart profiling solutions. Real-time monitoring of the thermal process has gained significant momentum with the drive towards smart manufacturing technologies , new emerging standards such as Hermes will further help with this goal and integration of information around the shop floor. Our smart factory data capture system - ‘Smartline’ has undergone relentless development since its introduction at Productronica 2015, we have continued to pioneer the use of web based technologies to help streamline and innovate the capture of real-time data from the soldering process. ‘Profile Central’ - our reflow soldering software suite has also benefitted from some major development work, with many new features making this release. The new version now includes definition of individual process limits for each thermocouple measurement, allowing process windows to be tuned to the needs of specific/sensitive components. Advanced reporting functions have also been added to aid better sharing of information with both colleagues and customers. “
