Curing Lamp


04/01/2000







The Luxor visible light, fiberoptic spot lamp cures adhesives through substrates that absorb UV light and allows for greater depth of cure than traditional UV-light curing. The high-intensity light source (>100 mw/cm2) can be used with advanced, single pack, UV- and visible-light-cure adhesives in optoelectronics, fiberoptics, lens bonding and other microassembly applications. The lamp cures adhesives with a 460 nm visible blue light. The fixture features a cool fiber tip, no need for warm-up before use, no need for UV protection, maximum yield of blue light, minimal output of infrared and other wavelengths, and an easy-to-use electronic timer.
