When a bond joint needs more UV energy per cycle, the reflexive fix is a bigger lamp. Often the actual bottleneck is smaller than that — it's the lightguide core collecting less light than the lamp is capable of delivering. More Core Area, Same Lamp Core diameter determines how much light a liquid lightguide collects from its source, and that relationship isn't linear with diameter — it follows cross-sectional area. The Incure LLG-1P-5's 5 mm core has a 19.6 mm² cross-section, against the 7.1 mm² of the 3 mm LLG-1P-3 — roughly 2.8× more collection area from the same lamp output. On wider or thicker bond joints that need a higher UV dose per trigger cycle, that difference shows up directly as more energy delivered to the adhesive, without touching the lamp head or extending exposure time. The guide itself is doing more of the work. That distinction is worth spelling out because it's counterintuitive to anyone used to thinking about lamp specifications first: two identical lamp heads driving different core-diameter lightguides will deliver meaningfully different dose at the bond point, purely as a function of how much of the lamp's output each guide is physically able to collect and transmit. That distinction matters when a process is under-curing on marginal cycles: before assuming the lamp needs replacing or upgrading, checking whether the current lightguide core is undersized for the joint is the cheaper diagnostic step, and often the actual fix. Direct Terminator Compatibility, No Adapter The LLG-1P-5 is built to pair directly with the Ø5mm LGT-Series terminators — the LGT-90-5 for perpendicular bond faces and the LGT-60-5 for oblique access into recessed or angled cavities. Both terminators mount straight onto the LLG-1P-5's Ø5mm tip with no coupling loss at the joint, since the aperture is a direct match rather than a stepped-down interface. That means a facility standardizing on the LLG-1P-5 core size gets full terminator flexibility — perpendicular or oblique bond access — without adding an adapter component or accepting the energy loss an adapter interface introduces. Email Us if a current bond process is under-curing and the lightguide core size, not the lamp itself, may be the actual bottleneck. Reach Without Losing Transmission Available in cable lengths from 1,000 mm to 3,000 mm, the LLG-1P-5 extends further than the LLG-1P-3's 2,000 mm maximum — useful for stations where the lamp-to-part distance is simply longer, not just where a bigger spot is needed. Liquid lightguide construction maintains full UV transmission across that whole length range: the same 300 nm minimum wavelength and up to 5 W output at 1,000 mm as at 3,000 mm, since liquid waveguides don't lose transmission per meter the way fiber optic bundles can on longer runs. Cable length becomes a fixture-layout decision rather than a performance trade-off. Application Fit The 5 mm core sits at the middle of the single-pole range — wide enough to raise dose meaningfully over the 3 mm option, without moving into the widest-flux territory the 8 mm core…

Not every bond joint benefits from more UV energy delivered to a wider area. When the joint sits close to a heat-sensitive or optically sensitive component, a smaller, more concentrated cure spot is the better tool — which is exactly what the Incure LLG-1P-3 is built for. Why a Smaller Core Is Sometimes the Right Answer Within the single-pole LLG range, core diameter sets both the cure spot size and how much UV energy the guide collects from the lamp. The instinct on many curing problems is to reach for more energy — a wider core, more dose per cycle — but that instinct works against the process on tight joints. A wider spot from the 5 mm LLG-1P-5 or the 8 mm LLG-1P-8 irradiates more of the surrounding assembly than the bond line itself requires, which becomes a real constraint when adjacent components are heat-sensitive, optically sensitive, or simply too close to tolerate stray UV exposure. The LLG-1P-3's 3 mm core delivers a cure footprint smaller than either sibling guide, keeping UV energy confined to the joint. On dense assemblies where the bond line sits close to other parts, that containment removes the need to reposition or mask adjacent components between cycles — the guide's own geometry does the confining. Masking adjacent components is a common workaround when a lightguide's spot is oversized for the joint, but it adds a step to every cycle and introduces its own failure mode if the mask shifts or degrades under repeated UV exposure. Sizing the guide correctly in the first place removes that workaround entirely rather than managing around an oversized spot. Built for Compact Fixture Geometries The LLG-1P-3 is the only single-pole liquid lightguide in the range offered at a 500 mm cable length — half the 1,000 mm minimum available on the LLG-1P-5 and LLG-1P-8. On benchtop dispensing fixtures and compact assembly cells, a longer cable than necessary tends to loop, snag, or require extra routing hardware just to keep it clear of moving parts. The 500 mm option eliminates that problem outright rather than requiring the excess length to be trimmed, clamped, or coiled out of the way. Email Us if a compact benchtop cell needs a shorter cable run than the standard 1,000 mm minimum most single-pole lightguides ship with. Full Spectral Coverage Despite the Smaller Core Reducing core diameter doesn't narrow the wavelength range the guide transmits. The LLG-1P-3 still delivers up to 5 W of UV output from 300 nm through the visible range — the same liquid lightguide construction and spectral coverage as its wider siblings, just concentrated through a smaller aperture. Photoinitiators activated anywhere within that 300 nm-and-up window are supported without filtering or wavelength selection, and the guide is compatible with mercury arc, xenon, and halogen spot curing lamps — the standard sources across Incure's arc-based curing equipment. Application Fit The LLG-1P-3 is best suited to joints where UV containment matters as much as cure completeness: precision optoelectronic component bonding, compact connector assemblies,…

Perpendicular bond faces don't always fit inside a Ø5mm cure spot. The Incure LGT-90-8 extends right-angle lightguide redirection to the larger joints a narrower terminator would need multiple passes to cover. Scaling Perpendicular Access to Larger Bond Faces The LGT-90-5 solves the fixed-axis perpendicular access problem at a Ø5mm aperture — precise, but limited to bond faces that fit inside that cure window. Wide PCB edge connectors, broad side-wall flanges, and larger vertical housing joints exceed that window, forcing repositioning across a wider face even with the redirect problem already solved. The LGT-90-8 mounts onto the tip of any Ø8mm UV spot curing lightguide and redirects output the same full 90°, but through a proportionally wider aperture. On bond joints that would take the LGT-90-5 multiple spot passes to fully cure, the LGT-90-8 covers the same area in one — the perpendicular-access problem and the wide-bond-face problem solved together rather than sequentially. That combination matters most on assemblies where the bond face is both perpendicular to the lightguide's natural approach and wider than a Ø5mm cure spot — a housing side wall with a broad flange, for instance, where neither constraint alone would justify a specialized terminator, but the two together make a straight lightguide or a narrower terminator impractical. No Adapter at the Ø8mm Port Stepping a Ø5mm terminator down onto a Ø8mm lightguide port introduces a coupling interface that wastes UV energy before it ever reaches the redirecting element. The LGT-90-8's aperture matches the Ø8mm core directly — full throughput at the tip, no adapter, no energy loss at the connection. For a facility already running Ø8mm lightguide systems, most directly the Incure LLG-1P-8, mounting the LGT-90-8 requires no hardware changes elsewhere in the setup. Email Us if wide perpendicular bond faces are currently requiring multiple spot passes with a narrower-aperture terminator. One Redirect, No Reorientation, Full Coverage The core value proposition carries over directly from the Ø5mm configuration: on semi-automated or robotic lines where the lightguide approach direction is fixed, a right-angle terminator eliminates the part-reorientation step that a straight lightguide would otherwise require for perpendicular bond faces. The LGT-90-8 adds coverage area to that same elimination — a single trigger cycle now covers a wider vertical bond face without either repositioning the part or making a second pass across the joint. The aluminum body carries a continuous high-intensity UV exposure rating, sized for the same duty cycle expectations as the rest of the LGT-Series, and mounts and detaches from the lightguide tip without tools — a relevant detail on lines that alternate between straight-line and redirected cure jobs on the same station rather than running one fixed configuration indefinitely. Application Fit Wide PCB edge bonds, broad side-wall connector bonding, and housing flanges cover electronics assembly at scale. Wide-aperture prism bonding and broad lens-edge joints fit optical assembly work where the bond footprint itself is larger than a Ø5mm system handles cleanly. Wide sensor housing seals, broad vertical gasket faces, and large door-assembly bond lines round out…

A fixed-axis lightguide can only cure whatever sits directly beneath its tip — until the bond face it needs to reach is on a wall, not a floor. The Incure LGT-90-5 solves that with a precision right-angle redirect. The Fixed-Axis Problem on Automated Lines A straight Ø5mm lightguide cures surfaces directly in its exposure path and nothing else. That's fine when every bond face on an assembly sits perpendicular to the lightguide's natural approach — but housing side walls, PCB edge connectors, and vertical assembly surfaces routinely don't. On manual stations, an operator can often reposition the part to bring the bond face into the lightguide's path. On semi-automated or robotic lines, where the lightguide approach direction is fixed by the fixture or the robot arm's reach envelope, that workaround isn't available. The LGT-90-5 mounts onto the tip of any Ø5mm UV spot curing lightguide and redirects its output a full 90° — bringing the cure to a perpendicular bond face instead of requiring the bond face to be brought to the cure axis. It's built specifically for that fixed-approach-direction scenario: attach it once, and the cure axis now matches the bond face permanently, without rotating the fixture or reprogramming the robot's approach path for every cycle. Removing a Handling Step Between Cure Cycles On lines running perpendicular joints without a 90° terminator, the standard workaround is repositioning the part or the lightguide between exposures — a manual step on manual stations, or an added motion sequence on automated ones. That workaround costs cycle time and introduces part-to-part positioning variation every time it's performed. Once the LGT-90-5 is mounted, that handling step is gone. The lightguide approach direction stays fixed; the terminator does the redirecting instead of the part or the fixture. On high-cycle assembly work, removing even a small repositioning step from every cycle compounds into meaningful throughput and consistency gains over a full production run. Pairing the LGT-90-5 with the Incure LLG-1P-5 single-pole lightguide is the standard configuration for this fixed-axis use case, since the two components are designed for a direct Ø5mm mount with no intermediate hardware — see Incure's lightguide selection guide for the full LLG range this terminator pairs with. Email Us if a fixed robotic or semi-automated approach angle is currently forcing part reorientation to reach a perpendicular bond face. Full-Throughput Aperture Match The LGT-90-5's aperture matches the Ø5mm core of the Incure LLG-1P-5 liquid lightguide exactly, and any other compatible Ø5mm lightguide port. There's no aperture step-down at the connection interface, which means no UV energy loss through the terminator itself before it reaches the bond face. The aluminum body carries a continuous high-intensity UV exposure rating, matching the duty cycle of the lightguide it mounts on. Because the redirect happens at full aperture with no coupling loss, the LGT-90-5 delivers essentially the same precision cure spot at 90° that the bare lightguide delivers in a straight line — the terminator changes the direction of the UV output, not its concentration or intensity…

A narrow terminator spot forces repositioning the moment a bond joint is wider than the cure window it delivers. The Incure LGT-60-8 exists to remove that second pass on Ø8mm lightguide systems. When One Pass Isn't Enough A Ø5mm terminator spot works cleanly on compact bond joints, but wider angled bond faces exceed that cure window — which means the operator or the automated fixture has to reposition the lightguide and cure the remaining area in a second pass. That adds cycle time on every part and introduces a seam between the two exposures where dose can vary. The LGT-60-8 mounts onto the tip of any Ø8mm UV spot curing lightguide and redirects output at the same 60° oblique angle as its narrower sibling, but with a proportionally wider aperture. On angled bond joints that exceed a Ø5mm cure window, the wider spot covers the full bond face in one trigger cycle instead of two — eliminating the repositioning step for facilities already running Ø8mm lightguide systems rather than asking them to switch aperture sizes. No Step-Down at the Ø8mm Port Mounting a Ø5mm terminator on a Ø8mm lightguide port means running through a step-down adapter — and every adapter interface is a place where UV energy is lost before it reaches the redirecting element. The LGT-60-8's aperture is sized to match the Ø8mm core exactly, with no step-down and no intermediate adapter. For a facility already standardized on Ø8mm lightguides, most commonly the Incure LLG-1P-8, that means mounting the terminator directly with full throughput preserved. Email Us if a Ø5mm terminator is currently forcing multiple passes across a bond face that a wider aperture could cover in one. Reaching Constrained Geometry at a Larger Scale The oblique 60° exit angle serves the same purpose here as on the narrower LGT-60-5: reaching bond faces where a straight lightguide can't physically enter and a 90° terminator doesn't have the approach clearance it needs. The LGT-60-8 brings that same angled access to larger bond joints — wide angled bond faces, large recessed bondlines, and constrained fixtures sized for an Ø8mm lightguide rather than a Ø5mm one. Where the LGT-60-5 handles precision joints at a smaller scale, the LGT-60-8 handles the same geometric problem when the bond face itself is larger. The aluminum body is rated for continuous high-intensity UV exposure, matching the duty cycle expectations of the Ø8mm lightguide systems it's built to pair with. Application Fit Wide PCB bond joints at oblique angles, large slot-constrained housing bonds, and angled connector flanges cover the electronics assembly use case. Wide prism bonding at oblique approach angles and angled lens-edge joints with a larger bond footprint fit optical assembly work. And wide angled sensor housing seals, large recessed gasket faces, and wide slot-constrained bond lines round out general industrial and automotive applications — all cases where the bond face itself, not just its angle, is the limiting factor for a narrower terminator. Multi-pass curing has a second cost beyond cycle time that's easy to…

Some bond faces simply aren't reachable in a straight line, and they aren't reachable at a perfect right angle either. The Incure LGT-60-5 exists for the geometry in between. When a Right-Angle Terminator Doesn't Fit the Fixture A 90° lightguide terminator solves a common problem — redirecting UV output to a bond face that sits perpendicular to the lightguide's natural axis — but it demands a specific approach: a clear path parallel to the bond face, plus clearance for the terminator body itself in the perpendicular direction. Recessed cavities, angled enclosure walls, and tightly constrained fixtures frequently don't offer that clearance, even when they'd happily accommodate a narrower approach angle. The LGT-60-5 mounts onto the tip of any Ø5mm UV spot curing lightguide and redirects its output at a 60° oblique angle instead of a full right angle. That shallower exit geometry fits through narrower approach envelopes than a 90° terminator requires, while still delivering UV to bond faces angled off the lightguide's straight-line axis — reaching joints that neither a straight guide nor a right-angle terminator can access without repositioning the part. Eliminating a Re-Fixturing Step The practical alternative to a 60° terminator, when a bond face sits at an awkward angle inside a constrained assembly, is usually removing the part from its fixture, exposing the joint for straight-line access, curing it, and re-fixturing before the next process step. That sequence adds handling time and introduces part-to-part positioning variation every cycle. Attaching the LGT-60-5 once aligns the cure window with the recessed or angled bond face permanently, for as long as that terminator stays on the lightguide tip. The re-fixturing step disappears entirely, which matters most on high-cycle assembly lines where even a small per-part handling addition compounds across a shift. Email Us if your fixture geometry is forcing part repositioning to reach an angled bond face — a terminator swap may resolve it without redesigning the fixture. Precision Aperture Match — No Coupling Loss The LGT-60-5's aperture matches the Ø5mm lightguide core directly, so the full Ø5mm output exits at the 60° angle without a step-down at the connection interface. That precision matters on close-pitch bond joints — electronics assembly, angled connector interfaces, slot-constrained housing bonds — where the cure spot needs to stay confined to the joint rather than spreading UV energy across adjacent components. The aluminum body is rated for continuous high-intensity UV exposure, so it holds up under the same duty cycle as the lightguide it's mounted on. It's designed specifically to pair with the Incure LLG-1P-5 single-pole liquid lightguide, and compatible with any UV spot curing lightguide carrying a Ø5mm exit port — not limited to Incure equipment. Confirm the exit port diameter before ordering; an aperture mismatch at the connection interface causes UV energy loss that undermines the terminator's purpose. The terminator body itself carries no wavelength dependency — it redirects whatever UV output the lamp and lightguide are already delivering, so pairing it with a mercury arc, xenon, or halogen source behind…

Round lenses, irregular-perimeter substrates, and multi-row assemblies all share one property that a lane-shaped flood head can't accommodate: they don't fit inside a fixed 4-inch width no matter how the fixture is arranged. Doubling the Maximum Part Width The Incure CDM™ + L88 pairs the CDM™ 9-inch polypropylene belt conveyor with an 8″×8″ UV LED flood head, doubling the maximum part width of the CDM™ + L64 configuration from 4 inches to 8 inches. Delivered as a complete system — conveyor chassis plus lamp head — it provides the same 1,900 mW/cm² at 385/395/405 nm (1,600 mW/cm² at 365 nm) peak intensity as the L64, across a footprint 2.67 times larger, with PLC/RS-232/foot-switch integration and greater than 20,000-hour LED service life. A Square Format With No Lane Constraint The L64's 6″×4″ non-square footprint is optimized for standard 4-inch PCB panel lanes — a good fit for that specific geometry, but a real constraint for anything that doesn't match it. The L88's 8″×8″ square format removes that constraint entirely: round lenses, irregular-perimeter substrates, multi-row SMT assemblies, and non-panel parts all cure in a single conveyor pass without the lane-width limitation the L64's shape imposes by design. 576 LEDs Across the Full Footprint The L88 array uses 576 LEDs to deliver uniform 1,900 mW/cm² output across the complete 8″×8″ (203 mm × 203 mm) curing area — dynamic uniformity of 0.89 at 2 inches on the conveyor, the same uniformity spec as the smaller L64 array despite covering more than double the area. Belt-speed dose control runs from 6,325 to 50,600 mJ/cm² UVA depending on speed, roughly proportional to the L64's range scaled for the larger footprint. Deciding between the lane-sized L64 and the full-width L88 comes down to whether every part on the line actually fits inside a 4-inch envelope — worth confirming before committing to the narrower configuration. Email Us with your part dimensions and Incure can help confirm the right fit. Full Process Control on Every Configuration Like the L64, the L88 offers PLC, RS-232, and foot-switch integration alongside a switchable timer or continuous operating mode — a real advantage over the arc-lamp configurations on the same CDM™ chassis, which are limited to belt-speed adjustment as the only process control. LED service life exceeds 20,000 hours with typical intensity loss under 20% over that life. Wavelength — 365, 385, 395, or 405 nm — is factory-configured at order based on the adhesive's photoinitiator absorption peak, and applies identically whether the line runs the 4-inch L64 or the 8-inch L88. Matching maximum part width to what a line actually produces, rather than defaulting to the wider configuration, keeps the Incure equipment spec matched to the real process. This LED head is one of several options on the Incure CDM™ UV Conveyor platform, and shares its array design with the standalone Incure L-Series™ UV LED Flood Lamps family.

Curing an assembly that's narrower than the lamp head above it means paying for coverage the part never uses — and on a dedicated PCB panel line, that mismatch adds up fast. A Flood Head Shaped for the Lane, Not Just the Part The Incure CDM™ + L64 pairs the CDM™ 9-inch polypropylene belt conveyor with a 6″×4″ UV LED flood head sized specifically for the standard 4-inch PCB panel lane. Delivered as a complete system — conveyor chassis plus lamp head — it provides 1,900 mW/cm² at 385/395/405 nm (1,600 mW/cm² at 365 nm) at 2-inch working distance, PLC/RS-232/foot-switch integration, and greater than 20,000-hour LED service life, all at up to 4 inches maximum part width. Full-Area Flood, No Beam Alignment Between Runs Unlike the M-Series focused-beam configurations available on the same CDM™ platform — the M51 at 5″×1″ or the M62 at 6″×2″ — the L64 delivers UV simultaneously across its entire 6″×4″ curing footprint. Parts up to 4 inches wide cure in a single pass with no fixturing adjustment or beam-position setup required between product changeovers, which matters on a line running mixed panel sizes within that 4-inch envelope. A Non-Square Footprint That Fits the Panel, Not Just the Belt Standard PCB panel conveyors run 4-inch lane fixtures, and the L64's 6″×4″ format is shaped for exactly that: the 6-inch illumination length along the belt-travel direction covers standard panel gap-to-gap spacing, while the 4-inch width bounds the lane precisely, irradiating the assembly without wasting dose on belt material or fixture hardware outside the panel edge. The wider L88 configuration, at 8″×8″, over-irradiates laterally on a 4-inch lane — the L64 is the deliberately sized alternative rather than a scaled-down version of it. Confirming which flood footprint actually matches a given panel lane, before ordering the wider configuration by default, is worth a quick check. Email Us with your panel dimensions and Incure can confirm the right fit. Same Peak Intensity, Right-Sized Coverage The L64 delivers the identical 1,900 mW/cm² peak intensity at 2-inch working distance as the wider L88 configuration — the intensity isn't reduced to fit the smaller footprint, only the coverage area is. Belt-speed dose control ranges from 4,750 to 38,000 mJ/cm² UVA depending on speed, with PLC, RS-232, and foot-switch integration available for process control — a real advantage over the arc-lamp configurations on the same conveyor platform, which offer belt speed as the only control option. LED service life exceeds 20,000 hours with typical intensity loss under 20% over that life, well beyond the roughly 1,000-hour rating of the mercury-arc alternatives. Matching flood footprint, wavelength, and control integration to the actual panel geometry avoids over-specifying the lamp head. This LED head is one of several options on the Incure CDM™ UV Conveyor platform, and shares its array design with the standalone Incure L-Series™ UV LED Flood Lamps family. Confirm your team's Incure Vison™ eyewear is rated for LED output at this intensity as well. PLC Integration Changes the Line Design Conversation Because the…

When a cure schedule's bottleneck is dwell time rather than total dose, the fix isn't more exposure — it's more irradiance per second, and the F500x2AC sits at the top of what the CDM™ arc lineup can deliver on that spec. 590 mW/cm² — the Highest Single-Assembly Arc Intensity Available The Incure CDM™ / CDM™ Compact + F500x2AC pairs either belt platform with a single F500x2AC lamp assembly — one UVA lamp head and one UVC lamp head, shipped as one unit — delivering 590 mW/cm² at 365 nm, 20% more than the F400x2AC's 490 mW/cm² and 69% more than the F200x2AC's 350 mW/cm². For fast-response photoinitiator systems, processes with tight cycle-time budgets where dwell time is the constraint, or formulations with high minimum-irradiance thresholds, the F500x2AC is the ceiling configuration in the fleet. Full Broadband Compatibility at That Intensity Like every x2AC single-assembly configuration on the CDM™ fleet, the F500x2AC delivers simultaneous UVA and UVC exposure from one lamp assembly in a single belt pass — no secondary lamp source or second conveyor stage required for adhesives specifying broadband arc-lamp cure. It's the same broadband process compatibility as the F100x2AC, F200x2AC, and F400x2AC, just delivered at the highest per-head intensity available on this platform. If a process is qualified under UVA-only exposure, the F500x2A (two UVA heads, no UVC) is the correct alternative instead. A Trade-Off Worth Understanding Before Ordering The F500's aperture is shorter in the belt-travel direction than the F400's, which means total energy per pass at a given belt speed is actually lower than the F400x2AC despite the higher peak irradiance — 1,480 mJ/cm² versus 2,630 mJ/cm² UVA at 6 ft/min. When total dose per pass is the primary process requirement, the F400x2AC delivers more of it; when peak irradiance is the deciding factor, the F500x2AC is the correct choice even at a lower total-dose number. Confirming which variable — peak irradiance or total dose — actually governs a given adhesive's cure is worth doing before specifying the highest-intensity option by default. Email Us with your process requirements and Incure can help confirm. A simple way to test which variable actually matters: if a formulation still cures reliably when belt speed is slowed to increase total exposure time at a lower peak intensity, total dose is the governing factor and the F400x2AC's higher per-pass energy is the more efficient configuration. If cure quality drops sharply below a specific peak irradiance no matter how much extra dwell time is allowed, the F500x2AC's higher peak output is what the formulation actually needs. Available on Both Belt Platforms The F500x2AC lamp assembly runs on both the standard CDM™ (polypropylene belt) and CDM™ Compact (stainless-steel wire belt), sharing the same 3.0–6.5 inch curing height range on either chassis — what changes at order is the conveyor chassis and part number prefix. The UVA and UVC lamp heads replace as a single assembly at the 1,000-hour threshold; a mounting stand is not available for F500 configurations. As with the rest of…

Peak irradiance and total dose per pass sound like the same thing until a process actually needs one specifically and not the other — and the F500x2A is a useful case study in why that distinction matters. 590 mW/cm² Per Head — the Ceiling for Dual-UVA Configurations The Incure CDM™ / CDM™ Compact + F500x2A pairs either belt platform with two F500 UVA lamp heads in series — no UVC lamp head — delivering 590 mW/cm² at 365 nm per head, the highest per-lamp-head intensity of any dual-UVA configuration on the CDM™ fleet, ahead of the F400x2A's 490 mW/cm² and the F200x2A's 350 mW/cm² per head. For photoinitiator systems with a minimum irradiance threshold, or formulations that need above-threshold intensity to initiate the radical chain without extended exposure time, that peak intensity is the deciding spec. Doubling the F500x2AC at Every Belt Speed The single-assembly F500x2AC delivers 1,480 mJ/cm² UVA at 6 ft/min. The F500x2A places two F500 UVA heads in series on the same conveyor platform, doubling that to 2,960 mJ/cm² UVA at 6 ft/min — the same relationship the F400x2A and F200x2A hold to their respective single-assembly counterparts, just at the F500's higher per-head intensity. Where It Falls Short of the F400x2A — and Why Despite the higher per-head intensity, the F500x2A delivers less total energy per pass than the F400x2A at any given belt speed — 2,960 mJ/cm² versus 5,260 mJ/cm² UVA at 6 ft/min — because the F500's aperture is shorter in the belt-travel direction, so a part spends less total time under the beam even at higher instantaneous intensity. If total dose per pass is the primary requirement, the F400x2A is the correct configuration; if peak irradiance is what a formulation's photoinitiator system actually needs, the F500x2A is the right one despite the lower total-energy number. Sorting out whether a process needs peak intensity or total dose — they're not the same requirement — is worth confirming against the adhesive's actual photoinitiator data. Email Us with your formulation's specification and Incure can help match the configuration. A quick way to settle the question in practice: if a formulation cures reliably at a lower peak intensity given enough total exposure time, total dose is the governing variable and the F400x2A is likely the better fit. If cure quality drops sharply below a specific peak irradiance regardless of how much total time is allowed, the formulation has a genuine minimum-intensity threshold, and the F500x2A's higher per-head output is the configuration built to clear it. UVA-Only, Available on Both Platforms No UVC lamp head means no UVC ventilation or PPE overhead. The F500x2A is available on both the standard CDM™ (polypropylene belt) and CDM™ Compact (stainless-steel wire belt), sharing the same 3.0–6.5 inch curing height range and 5-inch maximum part width on either chassis. A mounting stand is not available for F500 configurations on either platform. Lamp head replacement is planned at the 1,000-hour threshold per head, and belt speed adjustment remains the only process control — no…
