Polytec Offers the OmniCure AC Series for UV Curing

The OmniCure AC Series from Excelitas is a proven UV curing system designed for the large-area industrial curing of adhesives, coatings, and printed materials. State-of-the-art UV-LED technology ensures exceptional uniformity and repeatability. With the new UV-LED systems AC8⁺, AC9⁺, and AC8⁺HD, Excelitas has further advanced its air-cooled OmniCure AC Series. As a result, curing processes benefit from more uniform irradiation, higher output, additional wavelengths, and an LED service life that is more than twice as long. The estimated LED service life increases from 20,000 to over 40,000 operating hours. This means lamp heads need to be replaced only half as often. This reduces downtime and the effort required for re-qualification of the process. A new VOC filter provides additional protection for the systems in demanding manufacturing environments.

With the AC8⁺, the peak irradiance increases by 25% to 10 W/cm², allowing you to reach the required curing dose more quickly. The AC8⁺ and AC9⁺ also feature an exit window that is 20% wider. Both features enable shorter cycle times and higher conveyor speeds. For greater process stability, the variation in irradiance across the curing area is halved from ±10% to ±5%, as is the variation between individual units. All systems are now available with wavelengths of 365, 385, 395, and 405 nm; additional wavelengths are available upon request. The Plus models run on the same firmware as their predecessors. They can be integrated into existing production lines without any configuration changes; the control system and processes remain unchanged. Polytec provides consulting, service, and sales support for all OmniCure systems from Excelitas throughout the DACH region.
