Ozone Standard Dymax lamps (UVA type) generate an insignificant amount of UVC and therefore essentially no ozone. Some UV light-curing systems, like those used to cure UV inks, emit primarily “shortwave” (UVB and UVC) energy. Upon exposure to UVC light (specifically <240 nm), oxygen molecules (O...
Shielding allow it to be placed virtually anywhere space permits. Dymax UV light sources are capable of curing a wide variety of UV light-curable adhesives, coatings, and inks. They have extensive use in a variety of applications such as bonding, potting, sealing and encapsulating. These light sources offer exceptional versatility and expandability to accommodate most process demands.

Belt-Tracking Adjustment All Dymax UVCS Conveyors are factory adjusted to provide proper tracking of the Belt. Should further adjustments become necessary, this is done via two knurled Adjustment Knobs located at the input end of the Conveyor (Figure 12). To adjust tracking, simply tighten the side to which the Belt is tracking.

Figure 20. Loosening Drive-Roller Shaft-Support Fasteners • Move the Shaft Assembly slightly to realign the Drive Roller and center the Belt. Tighten the bolts when adjustment is complete (Figure 21). Figure 21. Tightening Drive-Roller Shaft-Support Fasteners • Turn the Conveyor on and adjust the Belt-Tension Knobs (Figure 12) until the Belt is properly tightened. Make sure that the Belt runs in the center of the Conveyor on both the Loading and Unloading Ends.
