ZUV Series

The LEDs mounted on the head unit need to be replaced regularly when their life ends. If you cannot receive support abroad from the manufacturer, you need to procure parts or arrange repairs and troubleshooting as well as regular replacement remotely from your country. This may interfere with local production. OMRON provides the same level of supply and support for the ZUV Series anywhere in the world including Asia Pacific and Greater China. You can reliably use the ZUV Series in overseas factories without compromising productivity and quality.

In Southeast Asia and Greater China where many assembly factories for the world are based, OMRON helps with overseas expansion at its country headquarters and 9 Automation Centers＊2 that demonstrate control applications using latest automation devices.

OMRON was one of the first to exploit the advantage of the UV LED light source and released its first curing system with UV LEDs which replaced lamp irradiation systems, the ZUV Series, in 2005. With the extended variety of heads, lenses, and controllers, the ZUV Smart Curing System became the most popular curing system with UV LEDs in Japan in 2007.＊3 Now in 2022 OMRON is manufacturing the ZUV Series at its own factory and has a proven track record of selling the ZUV Series in various countries around the world since its release in 2005.

UV irradiation using a standard head and spot lens is recommended for general UV curing. The UV irradiation area size can be changed simply by replacing the head lens. You can choose the best spot size for the workpiece from five lenses with different spot diameters, enabling reliable curing of UV adhesives.

The lens with a wide beam width provides relatively uniform elliptical irradiation. This enables UV curing of even previously difficult workpieces with a single irradiation.

UV curing across a wide area using four heads with the line beam lens reduces tact time.

This combination maintains the irradiation power of 800 mW/cm² for curing even when the head is 30 mm away from the workpiece. This solves the problem that irradiation cannot be performed close to the workpiece.

Diffuse beam irradiation enables UV curing with a working distance of 30 mm.

The use of the ultra light focus lens with a spot diameter of 2 mm achieves maximum irradiation of 13,200 mW/cm² ＊1. Strong irradiation power allows fast curing.

High-speed UV curing with the ultra light focus lens shortens tact time of the bonding process.

＊1. Under the following conditions: 100% irradiation power, 25°C room temperature, and with heat sink. Values for reference only.

The head with the lens that delivers irradiation at right angles to the head only needs about 1/7 of the installation space of the standard head with the spot lens. Installation flexibility enables UV irradiation in narrow spaces.

Installation space of production equipment can be effectively used. This lens is also suited to retrofitting in confined spaces in existing machines.

The life of a UV LED can be shortened if the heat from the LED cannot escape. All the ZUV Heads use OMRON's unique heat dissipation structure to avoid rise in temperature during light emission, having a long life and reducing replacement frequency of their light source.

The ultra cooling head can be used for about 4.6 years which are longer than the standard head, greatly reducing operating costs.

The ultra cooling head has a long body where the number of heat dissipation ribs was increased from 21 of the ZUV-HN30MD Standard Head to 40.
Extensive heat dissipation achieved 1.6 times longer life than the standard head and more stable irradiation intensity.

The highly stable UV LED light source is designed to save power by turning ON when needed. This can significantly reduce not only electricity costs but also CO₂ emissions, contributing to carbon neutrality. In addition, the LED light source that does not use mercury reduces environmental impact.

＊2. Power consumption may vary depending on device conditions.
＊3. It was assumed that the head was operated 24 hours a day for 260 days and ON time/equipment operating time = 1/3.
　　CO₂ emissions were calculated using the receiving end coefficient of 4.1 t/10,000 kWh published by the Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan.

The LCD display simplifies setting. Since it shows irradiation status during operation, UV curing can be performed without expert skills.

A single controller can independently control four heads.
This enables irradiation from different heads with different power, duration, and timing.
Irradiation patterns, such as step irradiation and linear irradiation, can be programmed.

The multi-access link functionality enables external control via the I/O and RS-232C ports and data transfer to a PC via the USB port, providing great usability.

You can control inputs from the external devices via the I/O ports or the RS-232C port to start or stop irradiation, change irradiation patterns, and raise alarms.

The cumulative irradiation energy, counts, and other data can be transferred to a PC via USB. This is useful for storing quality data and analyzing failures.

The Power Tuning function is provided to compensate irradiation power based on the outputs from a luxmeter. Power can be simply compensated during a pre-operation check.
