Description
2.1
Field of Application
The High Intensity Ultraviolet Source is a ultraviolet energy source designed for a wide range of
applications involving the curing of Loctite
®
ultraviolet activated adhesives and coatings. With the
proper ultraviolet light shielding, and cooling, and venting this light source can be used in both
prototype and production applications.
2.2
Theory of Operation
The Ultraviolet Source is designed for the curing of Loctite
®
UV activated adhesives and
coatings. It is ideal for adapting to customers' current production equipment; the lamp unit can
be mounted to existing conveyors and indexing equipment (UV shielding
is required to protect
the operator). A separately packaged power supply is powered by 120 VAC, 20 Amp, 60 Hz
electrical power and can be located up to 5 feet from the lamp. Power can be monitored with the
built-in watt meter. A high/low intensity switch (300 w/inch to 200 w/inch) located on the front
panel of the power supply unit allows the lamp to idle at low power when not in use.
The lamp unit should be located approximately 5 inches above the curing plane. When placed at
this height, the curing area will be approximately 4.5 inches x 6 inches for a single UV Source.
Multiple sources can be used for larger curing area.
