UV Curing Systems from under $2,000...
UV adhesives,
can be
cured with
exacting control using
one of our Readymax™
UV Curing Systems, feature-rich
systems designed to give you accurate curing cycles. Please feel free to call if you have
any questions: (818) 597-4300. Ask for Applications. For more complete details,

The Readymax™
Full Featured
Flood Lamp, (100338-SS w/stand and shield) is a feature-rich
system designed to give you curing cycles with a 400 or 600 watt
metal halide lamp. The light is evenly distributed, for effective curing
rates. Ultraviolet can also be produced by
electrical arc lamps
enclosed in special glass to allow its passage. |
 |
The
Economy Flood Lamp is a trimmed
down version with 400 or 600 watt metal halide UV flood curing system and adjustable stand, wraparound shield and
full-backed shield as options. UV exists around us as one of nature's phenomenon, an example of
which is Ultraviolet (UV) rays produced by natural sunlight. Ultraviolet can
also be produced by electrical arc lamps
enclosed in special glass to allow its passage. |
 |
Bench or stand,
the IDS ReadyMax MotionCure works as a small batch
or inline solution for conveyorized curing. The adaptable flood
mount accepts either of the IDS curing flood lamps and offers a fully
automated and adjustable conveyor belt designed specifically for use in UV
curing applications. |
 |
Just
place any ReadyMax Programmable or UV Economy
Flood on top of the The
IDS UV Curing Oven and start curing -
no tools required.
This
fully enclosed curing chamber can be used with any of
our floods and features 360 degree shielding for maximum protection.
|
 |
the
FloodCure Meter
is
designed for use with flood lamps.
UV Measuring is
an important part of the UV application. Make sure you have the right
tool for keeping track of your UV photo initiators.
The speed and efficiency of the reaction is governed primarily by the
intensity of the light source. |
 |
Flood Accessories range from Fan Foam Filters, Flood Filter Glass for Economy or Full Featured
Flood (400 and 600 Watt Models), Flood Thumbscrews for Economy or Full
Featured Flood (400 and 600 Watt Models), Flood Height Adjust Knob for
Economy or Full Featured Flood (400 and 600 Watt Models), Software, Foot
Pedal, Shutter Control for Economy or Full Featured Flood (400 and 600
Watt Models), etc. |
 |
The
ReadyMax
Economy
Spot is a high intensity, compact UV light curing system
designed with lower capital costs in mind and is the most powerful
and affordable Spot in its class. This system
will take you from small batch work to full production, standing alone
or employed in automation. |
 |
To keep UV systems
functioning at peak efficiency, choose from radiometers for spot and flood
UV lamps. The
SpotCure Meter
System is designed for the IDS Spot Cure
system. |
 |
Spot Accessories include light
guides. Roughly speaking there is a 7% loss for length and on
top of that there is about a 3.65% loss per meter due to liquid. Loss on a 1M light guide is about 3.65% + 7% = 10.65%. i.e..
transmission of 89.35%. For a 2M light guide the transmission will be
89.35% (from above) x 96.35% (100 – 3.65%) = 86%. And so on… |
 |
UV Accessories include Flood Stands, UV Shields, Power Supply, UV Intensity Controller, UV
Lamps, Fan Foam Filters, Filter Glass, Flood Thumbscrews, Flood Height
Adjust Knobs, Interface Software, Foot Pedal, Shutter Control,
Instrumentation Manual, Economy Spot, etc. |

Some of the
UV Applications that have employed our UV systems...
Bonding , Coating, Conformal coating of PC boards, Contact
lens molding/forming, Corrosion resistant and anti-fouling coatings,
curing inkjet printing, repair of PC Board sealing and more… |
 |
For General UV use, we also offer
UV Glasses either
100465 for direct use or
100466
for over- prescription use.
For IR protection, use special protection;
IR Protective Glasses
are designed specifically for use with lasers. |
Reactive
materials called photo initiators are added to resins for adhesive
bonding, coating, sealing, and printing. The artificially produced
Ultraviolet light will cure these adhesives by causing the liquid resin to
polymerize, thus becoming a solid. This could be compared to two part
epoxies, which when mixed in the proper proportions, turn from a liquid to a
solid. Light curing resins, on the other hand, are single component products ready to use as received without measuring or mixing.
The relationship between the speed of
curing and lamp intensity is not linear (doubling the intensity does not
offer half the cure time). The fastest and most complete reaction will
occur at high peak intensity for a relatively short period of time. This
is a more effective type of curing as compared to a similar (or even a
higher) dose of UV light, which is spread over longer period of time.
