Current optical fiber manufacturing processes use UV lamp systems for curing protective coatings to the glass fiber. These systems suffer from low efficiency, high maintenance costs and environmental concerns. UV LED curing systems provide a compelling alternative because of their high efficiency, long lifetime, and low cost of operation. OmniCure® AC Series UV LED systems include custom front-end optics for a high irradiance, highly focused beam to optimize the curing process. Learn how a fiber curing process can benefit from an OmniCure UV LED system with custom focusing lens.
