Deeper penetration for full and consistent cures
Pulsed UV provides better penetration, while maintaining low average power. The high peak power UV pulses penetrate thick and/or semi-opaque substances much more effectively than continuous mercury UV. Adhesives and coatings are cured without the risk of substrate changes from exposure to unwanted heat.

Uses far less power for lower cost of ownership
Pulsed UV systems consume up to 80% less energy than mercury UV systems. Short, high energy bursts - which are off for a good portion of a typical duty cycle - result in significantly less energy use compared to the continuous mercury UV cycle. Additionally, these high-peak energy pulses trigger photochemical reactions faster.

Process flexibility
Pulsed UV systems allow engineers to tailor key parameters to the application, including changing the peak power, pulse repetition rate, pulse sequencing, cure duration, and output spectrum. This unique flexibility helps process engineers, integrators and formulators find the optimal balance between high energy, low heat, and short cure times.

Reduced cure time for much higher throughput
Cure time is directly related to the speed at which optimum UV energy is delivered to the substrate. Pulsed UV delivers high intensity bursts of energy in short time periods which results in higher throughputs for volume manufacturing.

Modular products for easy integration
Xenon’s modular systems allow configurations that match a variety of curing requirements. Choices include a wide range of optical footprints and different lamp designs, including the ability to operate two lamps from one power source. Installation is simple. Installation is simple. No mechanical shutters or water cooling equipment are required.

Safe and environmentally sound
Xenon pulsed UV lamps do not contain mercury, a known toxic material. Pulsed UV lamps do not generate potentially dangerous microwaves.
