Product Overview

Dymax BlueWave® QX4 V2.0 LED spot curing system provides high-intensity spot-curing technology, a compact size, and incredible curing versatility to create an efficient and user-friendly experience.

This spot curing system features all the benefits of LED-curing technology in a small, versatile unit. The system is comprised of a controller with a footswitch and up to four LED heads. Each head is available in 365, 385, and 405 nm and can be operated in unison or independently of each other. The LEDs are installed directly at the end of the heads, allowing for precise light delivery. Additionally, mounting the heads close to components enables 360° cures of hard-to-reach areas on complex components.

Each spot curing system can be outfitted with either the 3-, 5-, or 8-mm diameter focusing lenses. LED heads and focusing lenses can be used in any combination and can be controlled through the system’s variable mode, a feature that allows each head to be individually programmed for intensity and cycle times. Individual exposure times and intensity settings can be set to 1% increments, giving users maximum curing flexibility.

In addition to the curing flexibility, the BlueWave® QX4 V2.0 also features an easy-to-use control touch screen interface with the capacity to store up to 20 programs. The unit can be activated by a foot pedal or by PLC interface, allowing it to be easily incorporated into automated systems.
