Flexible LED-UV curing - Flood or Spot
The new DYMAX BlueWave LED DX-1000 is a unique and flexible 385 nm LED curing system that can be configured to operate as either a small-area flood or spot-cure system. In flood mode, up to 1 W/cm2 can be delivered over a 1” x 1” (2.5cm x 2.5cm) area. In spot mode, a single or multi-pole lightguide can be installed into an optional adapter to deliver up to 15 W/cm2 in a high-intensity spot.
This makes it ideal for production, development or R&D facilities, as well as manufacturing cells where rapid re-organisation is often required, especially since the flood light unit may be demounted from the base stand for separate mounting, e.g. on a jig or conveyor system up to 3m away from the controller. This enhanced flexibility, coupled with the advantages of LED UV, make the DX-1000 highly suited to industries as diverse as electronics, medical, automotive, optics, displays, LEDs etc., especially where rapidly adaptable manufacturing patterns are demanded.
Its shutterless operation, adjustable intensity, long life, low power consumption and consistency of output are major advantages over other systems while bringing the benefits of UV cure adhesives within the reach of even small businesses.
Appropriate adhesives include ultra-fast cure clear formulations that are tack-free in under 2 seconds, through electronics potting to catheter bonding and clear fluorescing adhesives with cure times under 30 seconds. Wider industrial applications are catered for with an extensive range of substrates from ceramic, glass, to many plastics, silicone etc.
