Before shipping, your Dymax WIDECURE UV Light-Curing Conveyor was thoroughly checked and tested for trouble-free performance. The proper set up and operation of this conveyor system will maximize safety and user-friendly performance, providing optimum yield of your process. Therefore, we encourage you to read, understand, and follow all safety and operating instructions and recommendations compiled in this and other related manuals prior to setting up and operating this new system or its individual components.
UV exposure, high-temperature surfaces, ozone, and bright, visible light. UV EXPOSURE Standard Dymax UV light-curing systems and bulbs have been designed to primarily emit UVA light (as shown in Chart 1). UVA light is generally considered the safest of the three UV ranges: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Although OSHA does not currently regulate ultraviolet light exposure in the workplace, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) does recommend Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for ultraviolet light.

OZONE Standard Dymax bulbs (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...
Belt. The internal Lamp may be adjusted from 5"above the Belt to 24" above the Belt. This allows curing of a wide variety of larger parts. The conveyor may be outfitted with either a Long-Wave Bulb (for most Dymax materials) or a Short-Wave Bulb (for inks).
¹ Measured with an EIT Power Puck (320-395 nm) radiometer at a lamp height of 5" ² Can also be outfitted with mercury bulbs (aka shortwave, UVB, UVC, "H" type) for UV inks and cationics ³ Other UV lamp voltages are available upon request (208V, 420V, 460V) Dymax WIDECURE UV Conveyor...
WIDECURE conveyors can be outfitted with either a Long Wave (metal halide, UVA/Visible) Bulb or a Short Wave (mercury, UVB/UVC) Bulb. The Long Wave Bulbs are recommended for most Dymax UV light-curable materials while the Short Wave Bulbs are generally recommended for UV inks. The following charts show the spectral distribution of each type of Bulb.

Irradiator Cable can be ruined by arcing across the Connector. BELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT All Dymax WIDECURE conveyors are adjusted at the factory to provide proper tracking of the Belt. Should further adjustments become necessary, this is done via two Adjustment Screws located at the input end of the conveyor.

Although this is a lamp that has reached the ends of its life, handling the lamp in this method is a good procedure for your personnel. 9. Return the UV lamp housing to the irradiator and secure the top with the 6 button-head screws. Dymax WIDECURE UV Conveyor...
Ultraviolet (UV) - The invisible region of the spectrum just beyond the violet end of the visible region. Wavelength ranges in general from 1.0 to 400 nm. Dymax bulbs do not radiate energy in deep ultraviolet; there are very minute amounts below 220 nm and practically nothing can be sensed below 200 nm. This is due to the use of ozone-blocking quartz bulb envelope (See Ozone).
