IRphotonics Announces Evaluation White Paper on iCure Infrared Spot Curing

Hamden, CT, October 07, 2010 --(PR.com)-- IRphotonics, a world leader in the design, manufacture, and marketing of Infrared-based materials and systems announces the availability of a new white paper entitled - "Evaluation: Degree of Cure of EpoTek 353ND Adhesive with iCure Thermal Spot Curing System Versus Conventional Oven."

This complimentary white paper compares two curing processes for a heat curing adhesive, namely conventional oven curing and the iCure AS200 infrared thermal spot curing system from IRphotonics. The results obtained on EpoTek 353ND adhesive show that tested samples are equally cured with both methods but the curing time is reduced from 1-2 hours to 30sec with the iCure. Similar results have also been obtained with other types of thermal adhesives.

iCure AS200 Spot Curing system
The iCure AS200 is a revolutionary inline fiber optic system that provides heat by Infrared radiation in a portable unit, delivering pinpoint and accurate control for temperature sensitive substrates and complex devices. Using infrared light to generate heat, the iCure thermal spot curing system combines the advantages of thermal curing with the practicality of spot curing.

Applications include:

Spot curing of thermal epoxies
Bonding and fixing of plastic and glass components
Fixing of lenses
Temporary fixing of miniature components
Precision assembly and bonding of semiconductor components
Focused energy for micro soldering
Localized heat welding of thermoplastics

IRphotonics at the MD&M Minneapolis, MN, October 12-14, 2010.

IRphotonics will be demonstrating the power and flexibility of the iCure AS200 at their booth – 1516. Please contact us at sales@irphotonics.com to schedule a private demo.
