Excelitas Technologies Corp of Waltham, MA, USA, which provides customized optoelectronics to OEMs, has launched its OmniCure AC8 Series of UV LED curing systems. The latest addition to the AC Series of UV LED curing solutions features superior optical uniformity, enhanced process control and ease of integration to support diverse applications in the curing of inks, adhesives and coatings.
The scalability of the AC8 Series allows for adjoining of multiple LED heads in order to achieve larger curing areas, supporting customization and flexibility without compromising output uniformity. The new high-power, air-cooled UV curing systems have also been especially designed with a small form factor to meet the needs of demanding applications in medical, industrial and electronics manufacturing including touch panel/display, solar panels, conformal coatings and print.
The OmniCure AC8150/AC8150P, AC8225/AC8225P and AC83000 systems are designed with custom front-end optics to provide high power, high peak irradiance and exceptional uniformity at different working distances. The AC8 Series also utilizes a patented process for addressing individual UV LED module outputs, providing exceptional uniformity over the entire curing area. Precise control of the UV irradiance level ensures that the correct amount of UV light is provided on every exposure for consistent and reliable results, says Excelitas. Also, the compact, air-cooled design allows seamless integration into new or existing production lines, enabling system upgrades with minimal disruption.
"Excelitas strives to develop products to help customers be more productive and cost efficient. The OmniCure AC8 Series helps do just that by increasing throughput for a wide range of applications in the curing of inks, adhesive and coatings,” says Oliver Scheuss, VP, solid-state lighting and UV/microscopy.
The OmniCure product family of UV curing solutions will be showcased in booth #1424 at The Assembly Show in Rosemount, IL USA (28-30 October); in booth #641 at the Medical Design & Manufacturing conference (MD&M) in Minneapolis, MN (29-30 October); and booth #230 at 2014 International Cable Connectivity Symposium (IWCS) in Providence, RI (9-12 November).
