Futureproofing UV curing needs

1 min read

The Dymax MX-Series of high intensity LED UV curing lamps from Intertronics offers the flexibility to tailor LED UV curing systems to the needs of its applications, by offering three different emitter patterns, as well as three different wavelengths – 365nm, 385nm and 405nm.

Designed to offer higher, more consistent curing intensity than traditional spot curing systems, an MX-Series LED UV curing system comprises a controller and an emitter. The product range began as the MX-150 5mm x 5mm spot lamp and its controller and expanded to include the MX-250 50mm x 50mm flood pattern emitter.

New products in the range include the MX-275, an emitter that produces a 5mm x 50mm line shaped curing pattern. Additionally, an optional multi-channel controller is available that can control up to four different emitters either simultaneously or individually, so that multiple emitters can be grouped together to create larger curing pattern matrices as needed, or alternatively, for four individual workstations to operate independently from the same controller.

“Manufacturers can benefit from high intensity LED UV curing at all stages of their project — as it scales up, the user can add more emitters and opt for different curing patterns,” said Peter Swanson, managing director of Intertronics. “This flexibility means that manufacturers can futureproof their UV curing processes, with no requirement for a huge investment to accommodate changes later on.”

The system can be set up as a bench top unit, be mounted to a robotic arm for an automated curing process, or further from the controller without fear of intensity variations.
