Validation
Tests should be conducted prior to production to determine the time and light intensity required to fully
cure your light-curable material in your specific application. The following approaches may be used to
validate the curing process.
Set Exposure Time, Determine Intensity
Users can specify a cure time and, through empirical testing, determine the intensity required to achieve a
full cure. As with any manufacturing process, it is advisable to incorporate a safety factor.
Set Intensity, Determine Exposure Time
Users can specify light intensity and, through empirical testing, determine the exposure time required to
achieve a full cure. As with any manufacturing process, it is advisable to incorporate a safety factor.
Control
Process validation confirms a minimum acceptable intensity. Users can then choose to operate at a higher
available intensity level (using the additional intensity as a cure safety factor) or adjust the output to a
specific intensity level. To ensure consistent and repeatable process results, it is advisable to monitor
intensity levels with the use of a radiometer. This allows identification of any potential maintenance
requirements or intensity adjustment necessary.
Assembly and Setup
Unpacking and Inspecting Your Shipment
Your BlueWave LED VisiCure arrived in one or two boxes. Inspect the boxes for damage and notify the
shipper of box damage immediately.
Open each box and check for equipment damage. If parts are damaged, notify the shipper and submit a
claim for the damaged parts. Contact Dymax so that new parts can be shipped to you immediately.
