Running a UV flood lamp outside an enclosure defeats the reason most facilities buy one in the first place — stray UV exposure to operators, no repeatable curing distance, and no way to isolate the cure zone from the rest of the line. Incure’s B/C-Series™ solves that with six chamber models, each engineered as a matched enclosure for a specific lamp family rather than one general-purpose box.

Two Series, One Rule: Chamber Follows Lamp Type

The B-Series™ is built around Incure’s mercury-arc flood lamps; the C-Series™ is built around the LED flood line. That split isn’t arbitrary — arc and LED lamps differ enough in heat output, control signaling, and door-safety requirements that a single chamber design can’t serve both well. Picking a chamber therefore starts with the lamp already selected, not the other way around: specify the F-Series™ arc flood lamp or the L-Series™ LED flood lamp first, then match the chamber to it.

B-Series™: Enclosed Curing for Mercury-Arc Flood Lamps

B500 pairs with F100, F200, F100P, F200P, F400, and F500 — the compact and portable end of the F-Series™ line — inside a 9″×9″×10.4″ internal working volume (11.8″×11.6″×12.1″ external). B201 steps up to match the large-area F900P, with a 12.5″×22.0″×16.4″ internal volume and an integrated temperature sensor the B500 doesn’t carry, useful for monitoring heat buildup during longer large-area cure cycles under a four-lamp array. Both models use adjustable shelf positions to set curing distance and a dual D-sub control interface supporting PC, PLC, and foot-pedal inputs.

C-Series™: Four Chamber Sizes for the L-Series™ LED Line

C131D, C131C, and C141C all pair with the smaller L-Series™ models — L11, L22, L33, and L44 — but differ in format rather than lamp compatibility. C131D is a low-profile drawer (11.8″×11.8″×3.1″ internal) built for flat substrates: labels, films, and small panels where height clearance isn’t needed. C131C is a compact cubic chamber (7.1″×7.1″×7.1″) sized for individual small components and lab samples rather than batch trays. C141C opens that up to a general-purpose 11.8″×11.8″×11.8″ volume with an adjustable shelf, suited to batch curing and assembly work that C131C’s fixed, shelf-less interior can’t accommodate. C191C is the outlier of the group — matched to the larger L88, L1010, L1212, and L1414 flood lamps rather than the L11–L44 family — with a 19.7″×19.7″×13.8″ internal volume, the largest in the C-Series™, for wider parts and higher-volume batch production.

Door Interlock Differs by Series

B-Series™ chambers use an auto-shutter door interlock: opening the door closes the shutter automatically, blocking lamp output before UV can reach outside the enclosure. C-Series™ chambers instead use a drawer-activated shut-off that cuts lamp power the moment the drawer opens, appropriate to their drawer-and-chamber format rather than a hinged door. Both approaches accomplish the same goal — eliminating the possibility of an operator opening the enclosure into live UV output — but the mechanism follows the chamber’s physical design rather than being a single interlock retrofitted across both series.

Control Integration

B-Series™ chambers accept PC, PLC, and foot-pedal input through a dual D-sub interface. C-Series™ chambers instead take foot-switch, PLC, and RS-232 signals — the same signal types the L-Series™ lamps themselves support, so a chamber and lamp from the same series share one control architecture rather than needing separate integration logic. On either series, triggering the cure cycle from upstream equipment turns a standalone enclosure into a station that fits inside an automated cell instead of requiring a manual operator step between parts.

Where the B/C-Series™ Fits

PCB conformal coating cure, SMD component bonding, and underfill sealing are common fits for the smaller C-Series™ chambers, where the enclosed volume delivers controlled dose to one panel or tray without exposing adjacent stations on a crowded assembly bench. Optical component work — lens bonding, prism assembly, and filter lamination — benefits from the uniform flood exposure an enclosed chamber provides across the full curing area, avoiding the optical scatter that an open, unshielded lamp setup can introduce through stray reflections. General adhesive and coating cure work, including batch curing of conformal coatings and encapsulants, uses the adjustable shelf on B500, B201, C141C, and C191C to tune curing distance per substrate rather than fixing it at one height. On the production-integration side, both series’ PLC and RS-232 support lets a chamber run as one station inside a longer automated cell — a comparison worth reading alongside Incure’s guide to choosing between benchtop and inline UV LED curing when deciding whether an enclosed chamber or a conveyor-based system fits a given production volume. In lab and R&D settings, the same controlled, repeatable exposure supports adhesive qualification and cure-schedule development — work that depends on eliminating the dose variability covered in Incure’s breakdown of why a UV cure chamber stops delivering a uniform dose, a failure mode this enclosed, shelf-adjustable design is built specifically to prevent.
