SkyRay

The SkyRay is a compact programmable LED flood curing system that integrates all system components into a small lamp head, which can be easily mounted anywhere on a factory floor with no remote controller, power supply box or remote cooler required. Just mount the head, connect the AC power cord and start timed exposure curing.

The long-life solid-state LEDs illuminate a 5 x 5” curing area with cool and evenly distributed high-intensity light. The system features an integrated exposure timer and adjustable output intensity. The front panel LCD display and sealed membrane-type keypad make programming and monitoring of curing operations a snap.

System dose and setup parameters feature password protection to prevent unauthorized changes to sensitive processes and control settings. The unit features a variable-speed cooling fan and convenient flush-mounted carrying handles. The enclosure’s slim design allows for side-by-side mounting of multiple units for exposure of larger curing areas.

System timers: Duration of curing is controlled by a 1–9999 second timer that turns off the LEDs and beeps after exposure is complete. The timer can alternatively be switched to a 1–9999 hour mode for use in artificial aging or other long exposure applications. The exposure timer can also be set to a user-controlled manual mode in which exposure time increments on the display indicate the elapsed time of a cure.

Lamp intensity control: The system has a user-adjustable 10–100% intensity level. This feature provides the flexibility of choosing appropriate curing intensity for sensitive materials.

Status indicators and alarms: Three front panel LEDs are provided: AC power-on / door open, lamp LEDs on and system alarm. The SkyRay also monitors all internal sub-systems and environmental conditions, and displays system status, internal temperature levels and alarm conditions on the LCD display.

External logic signal interface: The system can be remotely monitored and controlled using isolated logic signals available at a 15-pin D-sub connector on the unit’s top panel. The digital logic functions allow high-speed control of the SkyRay for applications requiring a direct interface with machine controllers or PLCs. Control signals include LEDs on / off, 0–10V LEDs intensity, and a safety interlock that disables LEDs. Monitoring signals include LEDs lit, chamber temperature and system alarm.

Remote Control via PC serial port: The system can also be remotely controlled via USB or RS485 serial ports. A Windows™ compatible graphical interface program allows all system functions to be exercised, and with RS485, multiple units can be networked.

Lamp power regulation: The system’s switch mode power supply maintains constant lamp power regardless of variations in AC line input or LED voltages, resulting in consistent and repeatable curing times.

Universal wide-range AC line input: The auto-ranging 100–240VAC 50 / 60Hz power factor corrected AC input makes the SkyRay easy to use in any country, with no wiring changes or voltage select switching required.

Forced air cooling: A baffled variable speed fan cooling system with removable filter channels cooling air appropriately to all components to ensure high system reliability.

Foot pedal control: An optional exposure control foot pedal is available for applications requiring hands-free operation. The pedal can be used in conjunction with the system’s exposure timer or in a manual mode in which the lamp LEDs remain on as long as the pedal is pressed.

Optional LED spectrums: The SkyRay is available with 365nm, 385nm, 395nm and 405nm LEDs at 1400 mW/cm², which ensures compatibility with many types of adhesives and coatings from all manufacturers.
