UV Spot Curing
System - Porta-Cure 1000/1000F/1500F
Porta-Cure ultraviolet irradiators meet the requirements of researchers and field engineers for intense ultraviolet energy for diverse applications, such as:
- Curing photopolymer paints, inks and coatings
- Photoactivation of UV-sensitive adhesives
- Photoresist activation
- Graphic arts exposure and UV adhesives
The Porta-Cure line of curing systems has been designed to meet requirements for focused or non-focused irradiation. The Porta-Cure 1000F and 1500F feature an elliptical reflector system to concentrate UV energy into a narrow beam across the curing surface. They are ideal for curing fast-moving films, such as printing inks on conveyors.
The Porta-Cure 1000 features a half-round reflector system to irradiate a wide area. This optical configuration permits the unit to be positioned either across or parallel to the curing surface for greater ultraviolet exposure time. The Porta-Cure 1000 is the solution for curing thicker, slow-moving films, such as UV-sensitive adhesive.
All Porta-Cure systems contain a medium-pressure (200/250/300 Watts/linear inch) mercury vapor discharge lamp with high-efficiency output in the 185 to 400-nanometer UV cure range. Ozone-free lamps and lamps of various arc lengths are available for direct interchange to the units. Other general features include:
- Specially processed specular aluminum reflector
- Fan-cooled housing
- Remote power supply for maximum operational ease and lamp portability
- High/low lamp intensity control to reduce output to an idle mode
- Designed for conveyor, bench-top or optional tripod mounting.
