A new, highly flexible modular curing system which is designed for a wide range of curing applications including DVD, medical device, semiconductor wafer, hard disc drive and optics fabrication, is being introduced by Xenon Corporation of Wilmington, MA.

The Xenon CoolCureXL RC-800 Series Curing System features high intensity pulsed UV light lamps (mercury-free) with single or dual lamp operation, a high speed controller that provides instant on/off and a high voltage power supply. Designed for easy integration into an in-line manufacturing process, this highly flexible, robust modular system permits top-down and bottom up curing configurations to provide higher throughput with low substrate temperature.

Suitable for chemistries which absorb UV light from 180 nm to 1000 nm, the Xenon CoolCureXL RC-800 Series Curing System's high energy pulsed UV light process does not create or use VOCs. Pulsed UV light produces peak power more than 100,000 times greater than the sun. These narrow, 160 µs, 1000 w/cm² peak power pulses penetrate much more effectively than continuous UV light systems, resulting in complete cures.
