Incure F400 — the Only F-Series™ Portable With a Switchable Beam Geometry
A bench-mount lamp is stuck at the bench — but a repair station, a fixture on a moving line, or an assembly that can't be brought to a fixed lamp all need the UV source to come to the part instead. A Portable Lamp That Switches Between Flood and Focused Beam The Incure F400 is a portable handheld UV arc flood curing lamp delivering 490 mW/cm² UVA in a unit built to go to the part rather than the other way around — with the ability to switch between a standard 5″×5″ flood beam and an optional 5″×3″ focused beam without changing lamps. The bench-mount F100 and F200 cover a larger curing area but are fixed at the bench; the F500 delivers more raw intensity but has no focused-reflector option. The F400 is the only F-Series™ portable that combines meaningful output with switchable beam geometry. Portable Where Bench-Mount Equipment Cannot Go The F100 and F200 deliver UV only at the bench — the part has to come to the lamp. The F400 reverses that relationship: carry the lamp to the assembly fixture, the repair station, or directly along the production line. Parts cure in place without repositioning fixtures or moving assemblies mid-build, which matters on lines where the bonded joint is inconvenient or impossible to bring to a fixed lamp position. Confirming whether a portable or bench-mount lamp actually fits a given workflow is worth checking before ordering. Email Us with the process layout and Incure can help confirm the right F-Series™ configuration. The Only F-Series™ Handheld With a Focused Reflector Option The optional 5″×3″ focused reflector concentrates output to 240 mW/cm² at 3.0 inches — 20% higher than the standard parabolic reflector at the same working distance — for narrow bond lines, edge seals, and joints where a full 5″×5″ flood beam would expose adjacent components unnecessarily. No other F-Series™ handheld, including the higher-output F500, offers this switchable option. 490 mW/cm² Across a 5″×5″ Area at 2.0 Inches The 400W metal halide arc lamp delivers broadband UVA (315–400 nm), UVB (280–315 nm), and visible output to 420 nm — 490 mW/cm² at 2.0-inch working distance with the standard parabolic reflector, dropping to 200 mW/cm² at 3.0 inches; the optional focused reflector holds 240 mW/cm² at that same 3.0-inch distance instead. Lamp life is rated at roughly 2,000 hours, forced-air cooled, auto-ranging 100–120/200–240 VAC input for both domestic and international use. Choosing Between the Flood and Focused Configurations The standard parabolic reflector delivers full output across the complete 5″×5″ curing area, appropriate when the whole footprint needs UV exposure. The focused reflector trades curing area for higher irradiance in a narrower zone — the right call when adjacent components, coatings, or plastics near the bond line shouldn't receive UV exposure. Because the reflector is a specified accessory rather than a field-adjustable setting, confirm which geometry the process needs at time of order.
