ProPhotonix upbeat on release of new UV curing lamp

LED and laser systems manufacturer ProPhotonix announced the release of the ‘COBRA Cure FX1 Max’ product on Wednesday, which it described as a compact, fan-cooled UV LED curing system, designed to deliver maximum power density and dose for applications where space was restricted.

The AIM-traded company said that in developing the COBRA Cure FX1 Max, it had utilised its expertise in optical, mechanical and electronic engineering to design a UV LED curing system that offered 20% increased output - up to 6.4W intensity and 7.8 joules maximum dose per square centimetre at a two millimetre working distance - without compromising on LED lifetime and reliability.

It said the new UV LED curing lamp had been independently tested to verify its lifetime.

COBRA Cure FX1 Max was built with chip-on-board LED technology for maximum intensity and uniformity, the board explained.

It reportedly delivered a consistent, stable and reliable cure from a compact UV lamp.

COBRA Cure FX1 Max was said to be “ideal” for UV curing in printing and 3D printing applications, as well as curing of coatings and adhesives.

“The COBRA Cure FX1 Max significantly improves the dose levels available to those requiring a compact, fan-cooled UV LED curing system,” said ProPhotonix business and technology manager Ken Reynolds.

“ProPhotonix COBRA Cure FX1 Max delivers a powerful solution allowing customers to optimise space requirements and meet their reliability needs.

“ProPhotonix recognizes the importance of innovation, quality and reliability to our customers and provides patented, UL and CE certified COBRA Cure FX1 products from our ISO-certified facility.”
