GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
Model
RC-700 Ultraviolet/Visible
Curing System is a modular
light source designed
to provide a broad spectrum
of high peak intensity
UV, ranging from 200
to 1000 nanometers wavelength.
The RC-700 provides
many significant benefits
for demanding curing
applications, such as
a small light weight
lamp housing, unique
serpentine Pulse UV
Lamp
and system modularity
for ease of integration
and process control.
The complete system
consists of a controller,
lamp housing assembly
with Pulse UV Lamp, auxiliary
unit and cooling air
blower kit.
Pulse
UV Lamp
The
RC-700 clear fused quartz
Pulse UV Lamp has been designed
to provide high intensity,
UV/Visible light in
a small optical area
of 3" x 1".
The unique serpentine
lamp design has a 10"
arc length to maximize
UV output for rapid
cures.

|
Lamp
Housing
The
compact size of the
Lamp Housing is ideal
for applications where
the UV source must be
mounted either on a
moving surface (X-Y
table) or in applications
where the curing area
requires a small focused
optical footprint: 3"
x 1". 6-foot cabling
connects the Lamp Housing
to the Auxiliary Unit.
For operator safety,
an interlock will prohibit
firing of the Pulse
UV Lamp
if the Lamp Housing
cover is removed.
Controller
The
controller is the main
unit providing 600 watts
of power to the Lamp
Housing, as well as
operator front panel
controls. Curing time
may be set using either
a TIMED MODE (user adjustable
programmable timer,
0.1 to 99 sec) or in
a CONTINUOUS MODE (120
pulses/sec). Additional
flexibility is provided
with a remote front
panel I/O interface
such as an external
footswitch or programmable
logic controller (PLC).
Mains line voltage is
switch selectable for
120/220 Vrms.
Blower
Kit
The
Lamp Housing has been
designed for continuous
forced air cooling to
insure Pulse UV Lamp temperature
is maintained during
operation. The external
Blower Kit provides
the require air cooling
and consists of a blower,
flexible air ducting,
clamps and a mains power
cord.
Safety
and Environmental Benefits
of Pulsed UV/Visible
Systems
Like
all of Xenon Corporation’s
curing systems, Model
RC-700 is mercury free.
The pulsed UV process
is environmentally benign
since it does not create
or use volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) or
create suspended airborne
particulates.
