    Aicure ANUP5255V2 Features of the Aicure ANUP5255V2 1 Features of the Aicure ANUP5255V2 Aicure ANUP5255V2 is a UV-ray curing machine that features optical feedback control and programmable UV irradiation systems and provides optimum and reliable curing, bonding, and sealing. Optimum curing for each type of resin and objects (Programmable UV irradiation) You can select and change the UV settings for irradiation intensity, time, and pattern at will to optimize them for the type of resin to be cured and the object.
  • Page 7 Aicure ANUP5255V2 Features of the Aicure ANUP5255V2 Optical feedback control The UV sensor monitors the irradiation amount, and the control circuit controls the intensity control board by feedback control to keep the intensity of UV rays constant. This function automatically prevents any decrease in UV intensity caused by deterioration of the lamp, eliminating the step of changing the irradiation time setting, which up to now has been required.
