A new UV curing system that employs pulsed UV light to provide “cool curing” in continuous processes such as wood- and powder coating and digital- and narrow web printing is being introduced by Xenon Corp. of Wilmington, MA.

Xenon’s CoolCureXL® InterWeave™ System features two lamps which deliver UV light, a 3 kW power supply, and new controller that allows both lamps to be pulsed at the same rate, maximizing the conversion of energy into UV light. Delivering 13 joules/pulse at 200 pulses/sec. to provide cool curing in continuous processes running at up to 30 FPM, the shape of these lamps can be custom engineered to meet OEM process requirements for coverage and speed.

Ideally suited for curing heat-sensitive materials, Xenon’s CoolCureXL® InterWeave™ System provides instant on/off control, <300 microsecond pulses, fast cycle times, deep penetration, and process flexibility. A suitable replacement for continuous wave mercury UV systems, pulsed UV curing systems consume up to 40% less energy, produce less heat, and do not create VOCs.
