DYMAX LIGHT-CURING TECHNOLOGY

For more than 35 years, light-curing technology has
allowed manufacturers to lower processing costs, produce
higher quality products, and eliminate the use of harmful
chemicals from the workplace. First introduced in the early
1980s for ink and thin coating applications, the technology
has advanced tremendously over the last three decades,
becoming the method of choice for many other industrial
bonding, sealing, coating, potting, and tacking applications.
Light curing’s popularity stems from its ability to deliver fast,
durable bonds in seconds, on demand. Faster on-demandcures result in more efficient manufacturing processes by
providing shorter cycle times, reduced labor costs, andreduced work-in progress. In addition to its efficiency, lightcuring technology is also environmentally and worker friendly.
It utilizes no explosive equipment, is associated with fewer

1

health issues, and requires lower regulatory and disposal
costs than other technologies.

UV BROAD-SPECTRUM &LED SPOT-CURING SYSTEMS
Spot-cure systems deliver optimized curing energy to a very precise
location. They can be used manually by an operator in a turnkey benchtop system or incorporated into a high-speed automated assembly
line. They are ideal for curing small areas quickly in R&D laboratoryenvironments as well as low- and high-volume production applications in
the medical, industrial, electronics, automotive, and optical industries.
Dymax spot systems are worker friendly, utilizing an integral timed/manualclosure control and typically requiring little external shielding. Dymax
systems also feature a patented intensity adjustment feature which aids
users in both validating and controlling the light-curing process. Dymax
spot systems are designed with either arc lamp or LED energy sources.

Conventional Arc Lamp Spot-Curing
Systems

LED (Light-Emitting Diode) Spot-Curing
Systems

Dymax multi-spectrum spot lamps cure using high-pressure
metal-halide lamps that produce light energy in the 300 to
450 nm range. These spot lamps can be equipped withrod lenses or single- or multiple-pole lightguides in various
diameters (3, 5, and 8 mm) and lengths (up to 3 meters) fora variety of curing options.

Dymax LED spot-curing systems generate curing
energy using an array of surface-mounted LEDs insteadof traditional metal halide or mercury bulbs. They are
semiconductor energy sources that emit very discrete
wavelengths of energy, resulting in a single, narrow, bellshaped emission spectrum.

BlueWave® MX-150™
This curing system provides manufacturers with the curing flexibility
they need, in a smaller, more efficient design. The unit is comprised oftwo 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-curingsystems. 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 consistentcuring by addressing potential intensity loss caused by the use of longor bent lightguides.
With this new design, the system can be truly tailored to users’ curingneeds – 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 thecontroller without fear of intensity variations. When used as a bench-top
curing system, the unit can be paired with a stand and shielding or a
Wolf-style lightguide can be connected to the system for specialized
applications.

8Lightguides
Lightguides transmit UV and visible energy from a source mounted inside ofa spot-curing unit to the curing area. When choosing a lightguide for yoursystem, the following factors should be considered:
Length – Lightguides are commonly one meter long although other lengths
are available.
Diameter – Single-pole lightguides are available with 3-mm,
5-mm, or 8-mm inside diameters. Although the 5-mm lightguide will registera higher intensity, the 8-mm lightguide provides more curing power (intensity
x area) because a larger lightguide opening captures more of the lightemitted from the bulb. Each pole of a multi-pole lightguide has an inside
diameter of 3 mm.
Multiple Poles – Light emitting from a spot lamp can be channeledthrough a single lightguide (single pole) or split between multiple lightguides(multiple poles). Each pole of a multi-pole lightguide emits equal intensity(typically ±10% for liquid-filled lightguides) and all share a common shutter.
Both liquid-filled and quartz-fiber multi-pole lightguides are available from
Dymax.
Connection – There are basically two types of connectors used in the spot
lamp industry, “Wolf” and “D” connectors. Dymax provides lightguides withboth connector types, although “D” connectors are an industry standard andcompatible with current Dymax lamp designs (older Dymax designs utilized“Wolf” connectors).
Curing Area/Intensity vs. Distance – The UV and visible light emitted
from a lightguide diverges. As a result, intensity decreases and curing area
increases with distance from the end of the light guide. The chart to the rightdescribes this relationship clearly for the 5-mm liquid lightguide.

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 arecommonly integrated into existing manufacturing processes by mounting
them above high-speed assembly lines. Fairly deep cures can be achievedby 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 createcustom bench-top curing systems. CE marked units are available for
manufacturers in Europe.

Broad-Spectrum Flood Lamps
Dymax broad-spectrum flood curing systems use moderateto high-intensity (105-225 mW/cm2) UV/visible light to cure
UV light-curable adhesives, coatings, and inks in as little as5-30 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
11

be outfitted with longwave, shortwave, UV, and visible
replacement bulbs to fit unique applications. All bulbs havea long service life and come with a 2,000 hour warranty.

LED Flood Curing Systems
Dymax LED flood lamp systems use high-intensity LEDs tocure a 5” x 5” (12.7 cm x 12.7 cm) area. Because theseflood 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 forthermally sensitive substrates, and longer bulb life thanconventional arc lamps. Systems are available in threedifferent wavelength arrays (365, 385, and 405 nm) so users
can fully optimize the curing process between their lightcurable material and the curing system.

12

EC-Series Flood Lamp
Systems
EC-series flood-lamp systems are ideal for light curing large parts or curing
many small parts simultaneously. With intensities ranging from 105225 mW/cm2, Dymax flood lamps are capable of curing most UV lightcurable adhesives, sealants, and coatings, tack free in 30 seconds orless. 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).

SYSTEM UNIFORMITYWhen compared to other LED units, the BlueWave LED Floodprovides much higher intensity and more overall uniformity acrossthe active area. These benefits allow shorter cure times, and in turn,faster manufacturing throughput.
The graph to the right illustrates the Dymax BlueWave LED Flood’s
high uniformity when multiple arrays are positioned next to eachother. This is especially important in conveyor applications to ensure
a consistent cure across the entire substrate.

Accessories
Dymax light-curing flood lamps can be outfitted with the shutters and shielding shown below. Additional shutters, enclosures, and accessories may be available.

Shutters
Turning a bulb off and on between cycles is not practical sinceeach off/on cycle shortens bulb life and requires a 5-minutewarm-up period. A shutter, however, can be used to shield a flood
system between cycles. Shutters control exposure time, reduceheat on the work surface, and shield operators from exposure to
UV light. Dymax carries two types of shutters, ZIP™ and manual.

RADIOMETERS FOR SPOT, FLOOD, AND
CONVEYOR SYSTEMSRadiometers measure the intensity of energy at specific wavelengths.
UV light is, by definition, not visible to the human eye, so a radiometer isrequired to determine the amount of UV energy. The ability to measurelight intensity is useful for three reasons:•

Maintaining a light-curing process – A radiometer can measure
whether a light-curing system is providing intensity above the “bulbchange” intensity. A radiometer is to a light-curing process what athermometer is to a heat-curing process.

•Providing a worker-friendly light-curing process – A radiometeris required to determine if any UV light is reaching operators or
bystanders.

•

Measuring transmission rates through substrates – A
radiometer can be used to measure the transmission rates of various
wavelengths through substrates that absorb UV and/or visible light.
To assure an effective curing process it is critical to measure the lightintensity reaching the light-curable material below the intervening
substrate.

Dymax ACCU-CAL™ Radiometers
Dymax offers ACCU-CAL™ radiometers for spots, floods,
and conveyors. Kits for spot lamps include the complete
radiometer with 3, 5, and 8-mm lightguide adapters and alightguide simulator. Adapter kits are available separately forusers who have an existing flood/conveyor kit and need to27

use it for spot systems. All radiometer kits include a storage/
carrying case. ACCU-CAL™ radiometers are calibrated tomeasure either UV-A (320-390 nm), LED (~ 350-450 nm), or
visible (395 nm to 465 nm) light intensity.

Radiometer Calibration
To ensure accurate readings, radiometers should beperiodically calibrated. Calibration requirements differ fromone model to another but calibration is typically required
every six or twelve months. Please refer the Dymax
Radiometer Calibration Schedule, available for download on

our website, for the calibration requirements for your specificradiometer model. Calibration services are available throughDymax and can be scheduled by submitting the Calibration
Request Form found on the dymax website or by contacting
your local Dymax Customer Support Team.

ACCU-CAL™ 50
The ACCU-CAL™ 50 radiometer is simple to operate and offers repeatable measurement of UV light. The ACCU-CAL™ 50 can measure UV lightemitted from lightguides (3 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm), UV flood systems, andUV conveyors. With a spectral sensitivity from 320 to 395 nm (UVA), the
ACCU-CAL™ 50 measures intensities from 1 mW/cm2 to 40 W/cm2. A
