F600 Series Microwave UV Curing Systems
The Fusion UV F600 Series of microwave-powered UV curing systems has been a widely used product for over 20 years. Known for its reliability and solid-performance, on-going updates ensure it remains an effective solution for a wide variety of industrial curing applications.
The modular F600 Series includes a 10-inch irradiator (lamp module) with a power supply. These UV curing systems operate in the power class of 600 W/inch (240 W/cm). Their microwave-powered bulb operates without the metal electrodes required in conventional arc lamps, significantly increasing operating life and UV output consistency. The F600 Series comes with a microprocessor-controlled power supply with two power levels for process flexibility. These systems feature an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display during operation for continuous status updates and instant system diagnostic information. The irradiators can be placed end-to-end to create a lamp system of almost any length, providing high uniformity for a wide range of applications.
Lamps contain mercury. Manage in accordance with local, state or federal disposal laws.
