Dymax® UV light-curing flood lamps offer moderate to high intensity UV light-curing over a 5" x 5" or 8" x 8" area. Curing in 5 - 30 seconds is typical using Dymax® light-curable adhesives. These lamps are available with or without shutters and shielding and are simple to operate. Dymax® UV flood lamps can be used as bench-top curing systems or easily integrated into automated assembly systems. These flood lamps offer the industry's most consistent intensity over the 2,000 hour bulb warranty.

Broad-Spectrum Flood Lamps

N/A Dymax® broad-spectrum flood curing systems use moderate- to high-intensity (105-350 mW/cm2) UV/visible light to cure UV light-curable adhesives, coatings, and inks in as little as 5-30 seconds. Systems are available with 5" x 5" (127 mm x 127 mm) or 8" x 8" (203 mm x 203 mm) curing areas. They come standard with a 400 watt metal-halide bulb but can be outfitted with longwave, shortwave, UV, and visible replacement bulbs to fit unique applications. All bulbs have a long service life and come with a 2,000 hour warranty.

Light Emitting Diode (LED) Flood Curing Systems

N/A Dymax® LED flood lamp systems use high-intensity LEDs to cure a 5" x 5" (12.7 cm x 12.7 cm) area. Because these flood systems use a high-intensity LED as the curing source they produce faster cure times, more consistent frequency and intensity output, a cooler curing environment for thermally sensitive substrates, and longer bulb life than conventional arc lamps. Systems are available in three different wavelength arrays (365, 385, and 405 nm) so users can fully optimize the curing process between their light-curable material and the curing system.

Accessories

N/A Item # - 35572
Description - Dymax® UV light-curing flood lamps require a five (5) minute warm up and five (5) minutes to cool down. For that reason, it is not practical to control exposure by turning lamps on/off. Shutters, however, can be used to control exposure time. Dymax® offers the "Manual shutter shown open" shutters for use with the 2000-EC and 5000-EC UV-curing flood systems.
Low cost louvered shutter. Simple hand turn knob opens and closes shutter.

Additional Information

N/A The intensity generated by Dymax® flood systems is very consistent. With continuous use, bulb degradation of less than 20% over the first 2,000 hours is typical. On/off cycles will accelerate bulb degradation.

The ACCU-CAL™ 50 radiometer is simple to operate and offers repeatable measurement of UV light. The Dymax® ACCU-CAL™ 50 can measure UV light emitted from lightguides (3 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm), UV flood systems, and UV conveyors.

EC-series flood-lamp systems are ideal for light curing large parts or curing many small parts simultaneously. With intensities ranging from 105-350 mW/cm2, Dymax® flood lamps are capable of curing most UV light-curable adhesives, sealants, and coatings, tack free in 30 seconds or less. These flood lamps can be incorporated into automated assembly systems or mounted onto conveyors. Dymax® flood units can also be used as turnkey bench-top units (with optional shutters).

Broad-spectrum & LED Flood-curing Systems

Flood-style curing systems usually provide moderate to high-intensity light. These units have the advantage of being able to cure a tray of parts, or parts with large bonded or coated areas. These kinds of lamps are commonly integrated into existing manufacturing processes by mounting them above high-speed assembly lines. Fairly deep cures can be achieved by these relatively inexpensive units at 10- to 30-second exposure times. Wide-area flood lamps are used successfully to cure substrates that are somewhat heat-sensitive, such as certain plastics.

Dymax® currently offers both broad-spectrum and LED flood curing systems to fit a wide variety of curing applications. Shutter assemblies, mounting stands, shields, and other accessories are available to order to create custom bench-top curing systems. CE marked units are available for manufacturers in Europe.
