High-power lamp (output: 240 W/cm or 320 W/cm)This lamp is suitable for applications that need quick curing. The high-power lamp is used when thenumber of UV lamps cannot be increased due to limited irradiator installation space.
Quick power-on lampNormal lamps need about three minutes from turn-on until they reach a stable state. The quick power-on lamp becomes stable within ten seconds. This lamp is mainly used in printing seals (where a shutterhas currently been needed in conventional printing) and for web presses.
Pin-connection lampLead terminals have been eliminated, so that the lamp can be replaced with a new component in a singleaction. This quick-mount lamp is used in SP series conveyors for screen printing.
Product Lineup
Output of Lamp
Mercury LampHigh-purity mercury (Hg) and trace rare gas aresealed into a quartz luminous tube. This lampefficiently irradiates with 254-, 303-, 313-, and365-nm ultraviolet rays, where 365 nm is the mainwavelength.The mercury lamp outputs stronger and shorter-wavelength ultraviolet rays compared to otherlamps, and is mainly used to coat with clear paints.
Metal Halide LampMetal halide and mercury are both sealed into aquartz luminous tube. This lamp irradiates over awide UV spectrum from 200 to 450 nm.The metal halide lamp outputs stronger andlonger-wavelength ultraviolet rays at 300 to450 nm compared to mercury lamps, and isused to cure printing inks.

Cooling System
Ozone
Air-cooled LampThe lamp is cooled by extracting the air. This coolingmethod is superior to water cooling thanks to efficientutilization of ultraviolet rays and higher maintainability, andtherefore an air-cooled lamp will be the normal choice.
Water-cooled LampThe lamp is cooled by a water jacket. The water filterfilters out infrared rays, allowing curing at lowtemperatures.The air-cooled lamp needs an exhaust duct, and if themounting space for the irradiator is limited making itimpossible to use a barrel UV irradiator, the water-cooled lamp is the best choice. This lamp is also used inclean rooms where convection is not preferred.Lamp equipped with a blue filter water cooling jacketSince a blue filter is built into the water cooling jacket, allwavelengths except for the 290 to 450 nm band can befiltered out. This lamp can therefore cure workpieces atlower temperatures than other lamps.

Standard LampThis lamp is made of quarts glass featuring hightransmission efficiency and irradiates with ultravioletrays efficiently. The standard lamp is used in normal UVcuring systems. As long as the ozone is extracted tothe outdoors, it will not cause any hazard.
Low Ozone LampThis lamp filters out short-wavelength ultraviolet raysthat generate ozone to restrict the amount of the gasgenerated. When short-wavelength UV is needed to curephotosensitive resins, the ozone generated may degrade thecuring performance. The ozone-filtering lamp is usedwhen the ozone cannot be extracted to the outdoors.
Effect of ultraviolet rays on the human bodyWhen an operator's skin and/or eyes are exposed to ultraviolet rays emitted from a UV irradiator used in ink/paint curing, the same effectwill be generated as when these organs are exposed to sunlight for a long period in the summer and those organs exposed to the ultravioletrays will experience irritation. Although the UV curing mercury and metal halide lamps are designed to minimize UV leakage with acombination of a dedicated UV irradiator, individuals must be careful to avoid direct exposure to UV.
Ozone generationWhen oxygen is exposed to ultraviolet rays with wavelengths ranging from 100 to 210 nm,ozone is generated. The gas also exists in the atmosphere.Ozone is known as a very powerful oxidizer and its toxicity has also been a topic of widediscussion. Japan's environmental conservation laws define the allowable maximumconcentration of oxidants as 0.06 ppm per one-hour average. When this standard isapplied to ozone, the concentration will be about 0.05 ppm. As far as workingenvironment standards are concerned, 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3) is defined as the upperlimit at which human health will not be affected even when a person is repeatedlyexposed to ozone for eight hours a day. The table below shows ozone concentrationsmeasured for our metal halide and mercury lamps.
Note 1: When the ozone is extracted to the outdoors, the concentration shown in the table on the left will be 1/10 or less. Ifthe ozone cannot be extracted to the outdoors, be sure to ventilate the room, and if there are materialssusceptible to ozone in the vicinity of the EYE Cure Light due to the generation of rust, use the ozone-filtering lamp.
Note 2: Influence on the human body at different ozone concentrations0.02 to 0.05 ppm : A person can detect ozone from its unique smell within several seconds.0.06 ppm : Even when a person is suffering from chronic lung disease, the respiration is not
affected.0.1 to 0.3 ppm : The nose and throat are stimulated within several minutes to several tens of
minutes. The spasm frequency of asthmatic persons is increased.0.23 ppm : As a result of long exposure to ozone, the prevalence rate of chronic bronchitis and similar
conditions among people working in an ozone environment increases.

Cooling Mechanism
Air Cooling Unit
Air extraction typeThe air is extracted from the rear of the irradiator.This system extracts the ozone in addition tocooling the lamp. The air cooling system featuressimplified equipment and easy maintenance andoperation, as compared to the water coolingsystem.
Air blow/extraction typeThe lamp is cooled with air that is differentfrom the air surrounding the workpiece. The airblow/extraction type is used for UV curingsystems installed in clean rooms or placeswhere organic solvents are used.
The air delivery is determined by the capacity ofthe lamp used.
Since the lamp is cooledwith air and the reflectoris cooled with water, theair extraction is reducedto allow the irradiator tobe downsized.
ExampleWhen one 3 kW lamp is used, the followingcooling unit should be selected.Model: UCB031Power input: 100 VAC, single-phaseDimensions: 370 (W) × 366 (D) × 335 (H) mmApplicable lamp output: 3 kW

Features
Water-cooled reflectorThis reflector is made of anodizedhigh-purity aluminum and reflectsultraviolet rays efficiently. Introducingwater to the reflector prevents thecomponent from being irradiated bysecondary heat.
LampArgon, mercury, and halide are sealedinside the tube to increase the UVgeneration efficiency, giving maximizedUV curing performance.
Water-cooled jacket(double-wall structure)The cooling water flow to the jacket canbe set to suit the lamp size (wattage).The water-cooled jacket filters outinfrared rays and transmits ultravioletrays efficiently. Sodium metaphosphateis added to the cooling water as an iondeactivator, and therefore, the liquid isclean and harmless.
High-purity quartz glass with an excellentUV transmission factor is used for bothlamp and jacket.

The ref lector is made of high-pur ityaluminum with excellent reflectance sothat it can reflect ultraviolet and infraredrays efficiently.
The cold mirror is made of accurately-designedmolded glass onto which several thin metalliccompound layers are deposited. This mirror reflectsultraviolet rays efficiently while visible and infraredrays, which seldom contribute to the curingprocess, pass through the material.
Cold mirror and infrared ray cut filter (the lattercomponent transmits the necessaryultraviolet rays and reflects visible and infraredrays) are used together for those workpiecesthat need lower-temperature curing.
Air is blown against the workpiece torestr ict its temperature r ise. Thetemperature rise depends on the volume ofthe air blow. By adding the infrared ray cutfilter, the temperature during the curingprocess can be decreased further.

The air-cooled irradiator has the following advantages compared to the water-cooled model:1. Short-wavelength ultraviolet rays are not absorbed by the water filter, and therefore the number of lamps can be reduced to save energy.
2. The cooling water system is not required, resulting in reduced equipment costs and easy maintenance (i.e. reduced running costs).
3. Sophisticated finish is obtained, giving added value to the finished products.4. The irradiator is equipped with protective devices, such as a pressure gauge, and safety mechanism.

Inverter Type Power Supply
Features
Inverter type power supply is 1/2 to 1/10 the volume and 1/3 to1/5 the weight of conventional stabilizers. Higher power supplyclassification provides better volume and weight reductions.
Compact and Lightweight Design
This Inverter type power supply operates at 50 and 60 Hz and200 and 220 VAC, and therefore there is no need to changeover the frequency or voltage.
No Changeover Needed for Frequency and Power Supply Voltage
With a general power supply, variations in the lamp output, which are caused byfluctuations in the power supply voltage, always exceed the variations in the powersupply voltage. On the other hand, the Inverter type power supply uses amicroprocessor to control and maintain the lamp output within ±0.1 kW at all times,and therefore voltage fluctuations are insignificant, giving a stable curing process.
Uniform Output Power (variation: ±0.1 kW or less)
You can use the power setup function via the operation panel to continuously control thelamp power (i.e. irradiation intensity) between 50 and 100%. The irradiation intensity canalso be controlled with external analog signals (for example, speed signals from theprinting equipment). You can set five different irradiation intensities and turn on the lampat the desired intensityby inputting an externalchangeover signal. Thecontinuous irradiationcontrol function permitsaccurate curing control,as well as automaticirradiation intensitycontrol according to thetreatment speed andworkpiece.
Continuous Irradiation Intensity Control (50 to 100%)
Using the optional UV control system (specifically for the Invertertype power supply), the lamp power can be controlled so that theirradiating ultraviolet rays will maintain constant intensity. Thissaves energy.
Energy Saving
When a conventional stabilizer turns on a UV lamp, the UV outputsynchronizes with the power supply frequency and this results inripples. Since the Inverter type power supply turns on the lampusing rectangular waves,a uniform UV output isobtained without ripple.This means that non-uniform curing will not occurin high-speed printing.

Manufacturing products of higher quality─UV power will address the requirement.
Ozone decomposes into active oxygen when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Acted upon by this active oxygen, organic contaminants are dissociated to form volatile substances (H2O, CO, CO2, NO2, etc.) and removed.
When an organic object is exposed to ultraviolet radiation, chemical bonds in the surface layer are cleaved. Simultaneously, active oxygen separated from ozone under ultraviolet irradiation are united with the molecules cleaved in the surface layer. These molecules form functional groups (-OH, -CHO, -COOH, etc.) with a high hydrophilic radical.

Characteristics of the RF-Discharge Lamp1. Large UV output compared to that of a barrier discharge lamp.
2. Long lamp life and little ion impact (on the quartz tube wall) from veryhigh voltage compared to those of a barrier discharge lamp.
3. Extremely safe because very high voltages, as in a barrier dischargelamp, are not used.
4. Adjustable UV output
Characteristics of Excimer UV Radiation Unit1. Short-wavelength UV
Xenon excimer lamps are capable of emitting very high-energy, short-wavelength (172 nm) UV light that conventional low-pressure mercurylamps cannot generate. This enables reactions that are not possiblewith conventional low-pressure mercury lamps, as well as a dramaticreducation in reaction time.
2. Instant-on capabillity
Unlike conventional low-pressure mercury lamps, xenon excimer lampsdo not take much time to stabilize after being turned on, allowingnecessary energy to be extracted instantaneously. They do not requirea shutter because they can be turned on and off at intervals, thusmaking their construction simple.
3. Low-temperature treatment capability
The lamps do not generate infrared light, thus do not damage the workpiece.
4. Various radiation conditions
Various reaction gases (O2 and O3, etc.) can be introduced into theradiation chamber, and heat treatment by temperature control stagecan be used.
Applications1. Dry cleaning of wafers and glass substrates in thesemiconductor area
2. Dry cleaning of FPD's, such as liquid crystal and plasma displays,in manufacturing processes
Excimer UV Radiation UnitThere are two excitation methods: the radio frequency (RF) method and the barrier discharge method.The Eye Excimer UV Radiation Unit uses the RF-discharge method.
