SPOT-LAMP SYSTEMS
Dymax spot-curing systems provide very high intensity (3,000-
8,000 mW/cm
2
(320-395 nm)) over a small area (typically <½",
5 mm diameter). These intensities usually result in a 0.5-5 second
cure time. Dymax spot-curing systems utilize an integral
timed/manual shutter and typically require little external shielding.
An intensity adjustment feature aids users in both validating and
controlling a UV light-curing process.
Spot lamp systems are ideal for curing small areas quickly and
can be easily integrated into an automated assembly process or
used as a turnkey bench-top system. Learn more about Dymax
UV spot-curing lamps on pages 8-11.
LIGHT-CURING FLOOD-LAMP SYSTEMS
Dymax UV light-curing flood-lamp systems offer moderate to high
intensity (75-225 mW/cm
2
) over a large area (5" x 5" or 8" x 8"
(127 mm x 127 mm or 203 mm x 203 mm)). These lamps are ideal
for curing areas larger than ½" (12.7 mm) in diameter or curing
many small parts simultaneously.
Dymax UV light-curing flood-lamp systems can be incorporated
into conveyors, automated assembly systems, or used as turnkey
bench-top units. Learn more about Dymax UV light-curing flood-
lamp systems on pages 12-13 of this guide.
CONVEYORS
Dymax conveyors incorporate either flood or focused-beam
curing systems. The benefits of light-curing conveyors include
consistent cure times and the ability to cure larger parts. Another
benefit of conveyors is that they completely shield operators from
UV light. Dymax conveyors have 12" wide belts, and can be
configured for 6" and 12" width curing. Conveyor speed is tightly
controlled and typically ranges from 1-27.5 feet per minute
(although faster conveyors are available). Dymax light-curing
conveyors can be outfitted with different types of lamps and up to
four lamps on a single conveyor. Learn more about Dymax UV
light-curing conveyors on page 15.
