Clearstone Technologies, a manufacturer of advanced LED technology light sources, today announced the launch of the CF2000 UV-visible LED light source controller power supply. The CF 2000 combines programmable timed exposure, variable power setting, and independent multiple head control for up to 3 LED heads, accessible via either front panel manual control or remote interface via a PC USB or RS232 interface. The CF2000 is capable of driving up to 3 separate LH series LED heads, which are available at 365 nm, 395nm, and 455 nm, with maximum power output up to 2.5 W, 5.4W, and 6.9W respectively. The CF2000 is also capable of driving a single JL or LN Series LED Head, which support multiple wavelengths in a single head using modular arrays. The remote access interface allows the CF2000 to be easily integrated into automated manufacturing and production processes. This will allow coordination with dispensing adhesives and coatings and pick and place equipment. According to Dr. Sahara, founder and CEO of Clearstone Technologies, "Clearstone is proud to continue to expand the capability of LED based UV light sources with the CF2000. Like its siblings, the CF1000 and CT2000, the CF2000 offers a practical solution for consistent, low maintenance processing of light activated materials. The long life of LEDs avoids the production disruptions associated with replacing traditional UV bulbs, while providing better process control through its stable output power, narrow output spectrum, and lack of excess heating. LEDs also eliminate the safety hazards from mercury contamination, UVC and UVB radiations, ozone creation, high temperature, high pressure, and high voltage associate with UV bulb systems." The CF2000 is also RoHS compliant, so it is ready for use on the international stage. Joe McCabe is the Sales Manager at Epoxy Technology, a leading manufacture of specialty adhesives used by major companies in the electronic assembly, medical device, and optics industries for over 40 years. Joe notes that, "Our end users who have installed Clearstone`s equipment like the user friendly, turn key operation that has them up and running immediately." Hope Jones, a technical support expert, has recommended Clearstone`s UV LED equipment to many of Epoxy Technology`s customers. Hope says, "Our customers have already experienced the versatility of choosing the 365 nm LEDs for our UV products or the 455 nm LEDs for visible light cure products and now with the newest equipment, many more combinations will be possible for curing even larger areas. Epoxy Technology has many cationic cure products, and these will cure tack free with this unique equipment. Our development team has been using Clearstone equipment for sometime." Clearstone Technologies, Inc. develops effective, economical and easy to use light sources for curing adhesives, coatings, photo resists and other light sensitive materials. With expertise in optics, thermal design, photo initiated materials, and user friendly electronics interfaces, Clearstone Technologies designs and produces standard and custom systems for light processed materials. |
