Description
LINOP Cyberlite4 and Cyberlite4 S
- LINOP UV curing technology based on LED
- LINOP Cyberlite LED Technology The Cyberlite4 and the Cyberlite4 S LED lamps are operated by the LINOP U 400 control unit.
Cyberlite 4
The Cyberlite 4 UV LED light is a very powerful and compact LED curing lamp. Cyberlight 4 works best at 395nm wavelength and can illuminate an area of approx 30 x 30 mm from a distance of around 50 mm. For safety reasons Cyberlite 4 is equipped with a temperature sensor that interrupts the flow of electricity as soon as the temperature of the light gets above 60°C. Cyberblite 4 can easily penetrate transparent plastics as well as UV opaque plastics. A successful and very fast bond is achieved when the adhesive corresponds with the wavelength of 395nm. Furthermore, Cyberlite 4 is equipped with a lens system (LINOP Lens) to focus the light. As an option, an extension attachment (LINOP LWL) is available. With the aid of an approx 30 cm long flexible fibre-optic cable, one can bring the light even closer to the place of application.
Cyberlite4 S
Additionally, Cyberbond has introduced the unit LINOP U400 S and Cyberlight 4S. The ‘S’ stands for sensor technique. The LINOP U 400 S is especially suitable when used within a PLC controlled process as monitoring electronics have been increased, as compared to the basic version. There is a constant control indicating whether the LED lamps that are connected to the unit are actually working and if the lamps are emitting sufficient light. This ensures greater safety in production. The ‘S’ version is not equipped with a flexible arm.
Potential Dangers
UV LED lights are classified according to EN 62471: 2008 (photo-biological safety of lights and light systems). There are differences between the classification of visible and UV- light concerning the wave lengths compared to DIN 5031, chapter 7 (see chapter UV- and light-curing adhesives, point 2). DIN 5031 defines UV light from 100 to 380 nm whereas EN 62471 determines the range between 100 to 400 nm. This is due to the fact that the biological and the dermatological affect of UV light on eyes and skin is judged very strictly. Cyberlite4 lamp partly emits UVA light (according to EN norm), as its spectrum is between 380 nm to 440 nm. Therefore, to protect oneself against this light, suitable protective equipment should always be used. According to EN 62471 Cyberlite4 is classified as: at-risk-group 3 with the additional hint: visible and invisible LED radiation. Exposure to eye and skin by stray radiation must be avoided! Read operating instructions carefully! Additionally, a UV symbol is affixed. Short-wave light such as UVB or UVC is not released.
