IRphotonics Releases Multi-Legged Fiber Lightguide for Award-Winning iCure System

Hamden, CT, June 16, 2011 --(PR.com)-- IRphotonics, a world leader in the design, manufacture, and marketing of Infrared-based materials and systems announced today the release of a multi-legged fiber lightguide for its line of Infrared spot curing systems.

Multi-legged fiber lightguides provides for the distribution of light energy to multiple cure sites from a single light source, allowing great flexibility in the curing process. IRphotonics’ multi-legged lightguide is especially designed for the iCure® Thermal Spot Curing system for curing multiple parts simultaneously or instantly tacking complex assemblies in several locations to ensure critical alignments.

Ruben Burga, VP sales for IRphotonics commented, “Multi-legged lightguides provide an economical method of curing multiple locations simultaneously by using a single light source. The iCure spot curing system delivers precise heat to photosensitive and heat-cured adhesives, which results in significantly reduced bonding time and increased reliability.”

iCure AS200 Spot Curing System
The iCure AS200 is an award-winning 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
