DRC Series UV Curing Systems for Wire and Cable Applications

The Fusion UV DRC Series of microwave-powered UV curing systems are used to cure inks and coatings on wire, cable, and other linear products. Featuring our C6 and C10 models, this series is especially suited for high-speed inkjet marking of cable jacketing. These UV curing systems incorporate our specialty light shields, creating a highly focused zone of UV energy around the cable or wire.

The Model C6 and C10 light shields attach to the six- or ten-inch microwave-powered UV irradiator (modular lamp) systems to provide a complete high-efficiency UV curing system for coatings or marking on wire or cable. They are ideal for use with high-speed inkjet marking of cable jacketing. The light shield holds a half-elliptical reflector that, together with the irradiator reflector, forms a full ellipse with the UV bulb located at one focus. The target wire or cable enters a square shield extension and passes through the highly focused zone of UV.

  • Electrodeless bulb available in different spectral outputs
  • Lamp module, either 6-inch or 10-inch, and choice of power levels
  • Power supply matched to lamp module
  • Light shield with secondary elliptical reflector housing (C6 for 6-inch or C10 for 10-inch), with secondary reflector and light shield extensions
  • Efficiently delivers UV energy around entire circumference of small diameter wire and over a large portion of larger cable surfaces on the lamp side.
  • Easy access for service or “wiring up” due to the separation of the light shield at the wire line
  • Combines a lamp blower and exhaust blower allowing push-pull air cooling to prevent the flow of volatile materials or odors into the work area
  • Wire marking and coating
  • Cable jacketing marking and coating
  • Fiber optic strength member rods
