About Dymax BlueWave® MX-150™ LED UV Spot Curing Lamp

The Dymax BlueWave MX-150 LED UV spot curing lamp system provides manufacturers with the curing flexibility they need, in a smaller, more efficient design. The unit comprises two main parts: a controller with an easy-to-use touchscreen interface, and a high-intensity LED emitter which is uniquely designed to offer higher, more consistent curing intensity than traditional spot-curing systems. Curing energy is created using an LED chip in the emitter, providing consistent curing by avoiding potential intensity loss caused by the use of long or bent lightguides.

With this design, this LED UV spot curing lamp system can be truly tailored to users’ curing needs – allowing them to choose from three different wavelength LED emitters (365, 385, or 405 nm) so optimal cures are achieved. Users also have endless set up flexibility; for automated curing processes, the emitter can be easily mounted to robotic arms or further from the controller without fear of intensity variations. When used as a bench-top curing system, the unit can be paired with a stand and shielding or a lightguide can be connected to the system for specialised applications.

Heat Control
For applications with heat-sensitive components, interruptions in the exposure duration can slow the materials’ temperature climb during the cure process. This isn’t a concern with the BlueWave MX-150, because the curing profile can be optimized to reduce the risk of substrate damage.

Admin and Production Modes
The admin mode fully unlocks the device and allows for setting curing time and intensity cycles. Each individual curing cycle can be entered and saved as a program and recalled when needed. The production mode is designed for simple operation by manufacturing personnel. Settings and access to admin mode can be password protected using the full QWERTY keyboard.

Multi-Channel Controller

The Dymax BlueWave® MX-Series Multi-Channel Controller, when combined with up to four MX-Series LED UV curing emitters, provides manufacturers with curing flexibility in a smaller, more efficient design with an easy to use touchscreen interface.

The Multi-Channel Controller is compatible with all of the BlueWave MX-Series emitters. The emitters are available in three cure pattern formats: Spot (MX-150), Mini-Flood (MX-250) and Line (MX-275), and different wavelengths including 365, 385, or 405 nm. Emitters of different cure patterns and/or wavelengths can be mixed and matched with a single Multi-Channel Controller. This flexibility helps to achieve optimal cures across a variety of bond-line geometries and fluid product offerings.

Dymax BlueWave MX-Series LED UV Curing Multichannel Controller

Users also have greater set up flexibility; for automated curing processes, the emitter can be mounted to robotic arms or further from the controller without fear of intensity variations. When used as a benchtop curing system, the unit can be paired with a stand and shielding for large area curing. It can also be used with multiple pathway lightguides for specialised applications when paired with MX spot emitters.

MX-Series Multi-Channel Controllers are available in two model variants: a two-channel that is capable of independently controlling up to two emitters and a four channel for up to four emitters.

 

Multi-Channel Controller Features and Benefits

  • Reduces equipment footprint and cost by reducing the number of controllers required
  • Compatible with all MX-Series LED UV curing emitters; users can easily switch between spot, flood and line curing configurations
  • All Bluewave® MX-series emitters available in 365, 385 and 405nm versions
  • Simple on/off operation with no warm-up period
  • Application specific curing profiles/programs can be easily entered, stored, and recalled when needed
  • Units can be password protected so only production mode can be accessed by workers
  • LED temperature management and system monitoring for maximised continuous operation without overheating
  • Easily incorporated into automated systems with remote I/O interface

Optional 4-Pole Lightguide

The Bluewave MX-150 can be configured with a 4-pole lightguide instead of the standard transmitter. All listed lightguides come with D-Style Connectors and require the DYM42932 Lightguide Conversion Kit.
