This curing system provides manufacturers with the curing flexibility they need, in a smaller, more efficient design. The unit is comprised two main parts, a controller with an easy-to-use touchscreen interface and a high-intensity LED emitter which is uniquely designed to offer higher, more consistent curing intensity than traditional spot-curing systems. Curing energy is created using an LED chip in the emitter, unlike traditional spot-cure systems, where it is located in the controller. Locating the LED chip at the point-of-cure provides more consistent curing by addressing potential intensity loss caused by the use of long or bent lightguides.
With this new design, the system can be truly tailored to users' curing needs - allowing them to choose from three different wavelength LED emitters (365, 385, or 405 nm) so optimal cures are achieved. Users also have endless set up flexibility; for automated curing processes, the emitter can be easily mounted to robotic arms or further from the controller without fear of intensity variations.

| Heat Control | For applications with heat-sensitive components, interruptions in the exposure duration can slow the materials' temperature climb during the cure process. This isn't a concern with the BlueWave® MX-150 because the curing profile can be optimized to reduce the risk of substrate damage. | |||||
| Admin and Production Modes | The admin mode fully unlocks the device and allows for setting curing time and intensity cycles. Each individual curing cycle can be entered and saved as a program and recalled when needed. The production mode is designed for simple operation by manufacturing personnel. Settings and access to admin mode can be password protected using the full QWERTY keyboard. | |||||
| Light Emitting Diode (LED) Light-Curing Technology | Dymax® LED spot-curing systems generate curing energy using high-intensity LEDs instead of conventional metal-halide or mercury-arc lamps. The relatively narrow frequency band of energy emitted by LEDs results in cooler substrate temperatures compared to traditional UV-style lamp systems, making them ideal for curing thermally sensitive materials. Dymax® LED-curing systems offer many energy and cost-saving benefits, such as no warm-up period, lower energy consumption, no bulbs to change, and more consistent frequency and intensity output for better process control. | |||||
| Optional Lightguide Configuration |
Dedicated optics are not necessary to accommodate larger irradiation areas such as an 8 mm diameter spot. These larger areas can be achieved by increasing the distance between the emitting end of the standard 5 mm optic to ~10 mm. BlueWave® MX-150 with 5 mm lightguide simulator, measured 10 mm from the surface of the radiometer BlueWave® LED Prime using a 8 mm lightguide, measured directly on the surface of the radiometer Both cover the same target cure area, however, the new BlueWave® MX-150 provides a much higher intensity, see chart below. The system can be outfitted with a 3 or 5 mm Wolf-style lightguide. A 5 mm lightguide/simulator couples perfectly with the 5 mm aperture of the LED chip (Figure 8) while a 3 mm lightguide only transfers part of the UV light emitted by the LED chip (Figure 9), resulting in lower efficiency. See the intensity chart on the next page for more information. |
