MERCURY-FREE SOLUTION FROM IPF:
Manufacturers are increasingly removing mercury-containing
UV fluorescent lamps from their product ranges and phasing
them out completely due to the impending EU ban. As such
lamps are used in various industrial sectors, they are difficult
to replace and the search for suitable alternatives is often
very difficult. The search is now over, as ipf is offering a robust
alternative in the form of the EM300U21 UV/A LED light.
ADVANTAGES OF THE UV-LED LIGHT:
- Ideal replacement for older UV fluorescent lamps
- still in use
- Significantly longer service life
- Lower energy consumption
- Immediately ready for operation
A concrete example:
Two plastic components are joined together in an automated
process using a transparent adhesive. In order to ensure a
reliable bond, an optical sensor is used to check the presence of
the adhesive at the relevant bonding points on the components.
For this purpose, pigments are added to the adhesive, which
are activated by UV light so that the optical sensor can now be
used to check whether or not adhesive has been applied to the relevant areas of a component. The example thus shows the
potential of the EM300U21 UV LED light, which can be used in
many other applications, e.g.
l PCB inspection (solder joint inspection)
I Crack testing on components
I Drying of paints/lacquers/silicones/sealers
I Examination of fiber optics and fibers amination of fiber
(testing of the cut surface)
I Highlighting of transparent adhesives on various backgrounds
(adhesive beads, sealants, etc.)
I Large-area UV LED curing of coatings and products
manufactured using additive processes such as 3D printing
The robust housing of the light (IP67) is made of aluminum
and has a diameter of 30mm and a total length of 261mm. The
length of the light field is 198mm. The front panel is made of
scratch-resistant polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). The beam
angle of the luminaire is 120°. The EM300U21 is designed for
24VDC. The electrical connection is made via an M12 plug
connector. Screw fixing AY000061 is available for mounting the
light. (sta)
