Fast solution for adhesives curing
Jenton International has been appointed UK distributor for the IRPhotonics iCure AS200 Thermal spot curing system, which features inline fibre optics that provide heat by Infrared radiation, delivering pinpoint control for temperature sensitive substrates and complex devices.
Using infrared light to generate heat, the iCure thermal spot curing system is tailor-made for automated manufacturing processes requiring rapid adhesive curing and localised heating of bonded assemblies.
Richard Little, managing director of Jenton International says the iCure AS200 system is a powerful alternative to thermal ovens that can provide the appropriate heat for just the right amount of time to thermally cure adhesives. "The system is ideally suited for complex devices where localised curing must be achieved without heating adjacent components," he commented.
The system has a 200 W lamp with up to 90 W/cm2 and can decrease thermal epoxy curing times to seconds rather than tens of minutes. Batch processes can be fully automated by attaching the flexible light guide to a robotic arm.
