Hoenle with new compact LED heads for LED UV curing
Hoenle has developed new LED heads for its Bluepoint LED Eco LED UV curing unit. The revised LED heads combine significantly higher output with more compact dimensions and can be easily connected to existing Bluepoint LED Eco devices.
The improved LED heads of the Bluepoint LED Eco are even more compact: With a diameter of 12 mm and a length of only around 55 mm - depending on the optics used - they are ideal for extremely confined installation situations with optimized heat dissipation. The compact new LED heads can not only be connected to existing Bluepoint LED Eco devices, but also serve as a drop-in solution for other common UV curing systems with the same dimensions. With intensities of up to 20,000 mW/cm2, the LED heads are available for wavelengths of 365, 385 and 405 nm. They can also be equipped with a 90° deflection head to enable effective irradiation of areas that are difficult to access or to make the best possible use of limited installation space.
Compact LED UV heads for curing adhesives
The new LED UV spotlight heads can be equipped with various optical attachments that cover irradiation areas with a diameter of approx. 3, 7, 10 or 20 mm and can therefore be very well adapted to the individual application. The 10x2 mm optic has recently been added to the portfolio. This lens projects maximum intensity homogeneously on a line of approx. 10 mm in length, thus enabling optimum irradiation of narrow gaps. A classic application example here is active alignment. Other applications for the Bluepoint LED Eco include the curing of adhesives and potting compounds in a wide variety of manufacturing processes, for example in the bonding of optical components, the needle bonding of disposable syringes, the production of glucose sensors or the fixing and potting of electronic components. The Hoenle Bluepoint LED Eco also offers improved machine safety. The system can be connected to the production machine via an integrated interface and has a signal input that ensures that the LEDs are reliably switched off in accordance with current safety guidelines. This is a crucial safety feature, particularly in fully automated production lines, and ensures reliable protection of the operating personnel.
