About the PPX-COBRA-FX1-395
The COBRA Cure FX1 is a compact, fan-cooled UV LED curing system for inks, coatings and adhesives, ink pinning and 3D printing. Multiple mounting options let the lamp be set at the optimum working distance for the application, so it drops into an existing press or printer without a redesigned bracket.
Edge to edge illumination makes the lamp stackable with minimal drop in intensity and dose uniformity across the line, which means a wider web is covered by placing lamps side by side. Chip-on-Board LED technology built in-house gives the LED density needed for powerful, uniform output.
The FX1 delivers intensity up to 6 W/cm2 and energy density up to 6.5 J/cm2 at 2 mm, enough for high line speeds on demanding chemistries, and a COBRA Cure FX1 Max option raises that to 6.4 W/cm2 and 7.8 J/cm2 from the same form factor. The COBRA Cure FX1 range covers 365 nm, 385 nm, 395 nm and 405 nm, divergent and collimated configurations, and linear intensity control options. It is UL, CE and IEC certified to EN/UL 61010.
