Home / Fiber optic cable curing time
Assembly teams are embracing UV curing for fiber optic connectors because it delivers optically clear, low-stress bonds in seconds—not minutes or hours. The OmniCure® AC9225-F UV LED curing system with custom lens and optimized LED light engine to deliver extremely focused high-irradiance UV light for fast curing of fiber optic coating materials. Increased profitability through significant reduction of electrical consumption, increased. UV-curable coatings provide protection, flexibility and strength to the fiber as it is drawn. Or is your production process set, but you are experiencing fiber movement and need to adjust curing temperature or time? Either way, follow this advice to validate your curing schedule: The starting point – Always start with the epoxy manufacturer's recommendation for time and temperature.
