UV curing light source

18 May 2016 Opto-Electronics

Hamamatsu Photonics has developed a new high-output UV LED light source that offers around seven times the intensity of previous models, for use in applications such as bonding, printing, labelling and more. The new LightningCure LC-L5G provides the same level of output as metal halide lamps, whilst delivering key benefits.

The key advantages of using UV LEDs includes instantaneous on/off switching, which significantly improves efficiency and subsequently extends the lamp’s lifetime (20 000+ hrs). The unit is compact and has an easy-to-maintain window which allows for much easier integration into systems. The LC-L5G range has low heat emission and emits no VOCs (volatile organic compounds), allowing for a greener light source capable of curing on many heat-sensitive substrates.

Other sources in the LightningCure range are also available for various printing formats (such as inkjet, flexo, etc).
