UVCS LED Light-Curing Conveyor Systems User Guide 

Height Range and Working Distance 

Height Range 

The conveyor tunnel clearance height maximum 

is 4.5” (114 mm) when the cradle is all the way up.

 

When the cradle 

is all the way down the conveyor tunnel clearance is 1.5” (75

 mm). 

 

Working Distance 

The distance between the glass lens on the emitter and the belt is called the working distance. Since the 
emitter sits flush to the cradle the height adjustment range is also the working distance range. 

Parts requiring smaller working distances than 1.5” (

75 mm) should be placed on a palette of appropriate 

thickness to lift the workpiece off the belt and closer to the emitter. 

Figure 30. Cradle Clearance at Minimum & Maximum Height  

 

 

 

 

Cradle at maximum height 

Tunnel clearance is 4.5” (114 mm)

 

Cradle at minimum height 

Tunnel clearance is 1.5” (38 mm)
