BlueWave LED Flood Curing System
Description
The BlueWave LED Flood Curing System offers high intensity and uniformity, enabling fast and repeatable cure times. The system is available with three different wavelengths LED arrays (365, 385, and 405 nm) so users can fully optimize the curing process between their light-curable material and the curing system.
The BlueWave LED features a 5 x 5 in. (12.7 x 12.7 cm) active area for curing larger parts and for helping to reduce cure times. The instant on/off capability of the LEDs eliminates the need for mechanical shutter components and lengthy warm-up times but provides faster exposure cycles and lower maintenance costs. It is CE certified, RoHS compliant, and offers user-friendly operation, making this flood unit the ideal curing system for manufacturers looking to complement their “green” initiatives.
