Panasonic UJ35 UV cure system

The UJ35 UV cure system by Panasonic utilises LED technology, requires less energy than conventional curing systems and has a lifetime of over 20,000 h. Unlike a lamp-type system that needs to be kept turned on throughout the operation, the LED type can turn UV irradiation on and off as needed. Under certain circumstances, this could extend the LED life up to 100,000 h.

The LED heads irradiate using 365 or 385 nm wavelength UV rays that do not contain infrared rays (heat). This makes them suitable for applications that require high-precision bonding with minimum thermal distortion, such as the assembly of thin plastic components.

The compact body is also equipped with temperature feedback control, providing good performance for bonding and fixing with UV-curable resin. The intelligent control system allows for up to 10 steps and seven different irradiation patterns to be programmed for each of the four LED heads, making one unit useable for up to four individual processes.
