» What is the difference between a visible light curing system and a traditional UV light curing system?
The main difference between visible light and UV light curing systems is the frequency that is transmitted in order to address the curing needs of various adhesive, potting or coating materials.
The DYMAX BlueWave® LED visible light curing system uses an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that generate visible energy in the 410 nm range. Due to the very specific wavelength of energy the BlueWave LED
emits, it does not transmit unnecessary energy that would have a negative affect on temperature sensitive substrates.
The BlueWave LED is also suitable for small area cures, spot curing coatings and bonding a variety of
plastic substrates such as polycarbonate, PVC, PET, and metal and glass.
Some common electronic applications that the BlueWave LED can be used for include PCB wire tacking, repair of conformal coatings, and masking of circuit board components. Multi-purpose bonding adhesives are also available for medical device applications such as needle bonding and reservoir bonding.
 The DYMAX BlueWave® 200 UV light curing system uses a high-pressure mercury vapor bulb, that when ignited, produces light energy in the 300 to 450 nm range. Since the BlueWave 200 emits a higher intensity light, it is ideal for faster, deeper curing of adhesives, coatings and encapsulants. Applications include PCB wire tacking, repair of conformal coatings, coil winding and fiber optic termination, curing of glob top coatings, glass bonding, and the assembly of medical devices such as syringes, catheters, tube sets, and optics. The
BlueWave 200 can also be equipped with multiple-pole lightguides or rod lenses for a variety of curing options.
