caption_attribution_description: English: An example 6 channel profiler from Solderstar, specifically designed to pass through a reflow oven along with the assembly to allow capture of component temperatures.
context_page_description: A reflow oven is a machine used primarily for reflow soldering of surface mount electronic components to printed circuit boards.
context_section_description: Thermal profiling is the act of measuring several points on a circuit board to determine the thermal excursion it takes through the soldering process.
  In the electronics manufacturing industry, SPC (statistical process control) helps determine if the process is in control, measured against the reflow parameters defined by the soldering technologies and component requirements.
