Custom Iodine Gallium UV Lamps for PCB Exposure

As a leading manufacturer of UV curing and exposure solutions, Fiver Electronic Technology specializes in crafting custom UV lamps specifically for the demanding requirements of PCB manufacturing. We understand that precise pattern transfer and efficient exposure times are crucial for producing high-quality printed circuit boards. Our custom-engineered UV lamps are designed to optimize your PCB exposure process, ensuring accurate circuit reproduction and maximizing production throughput.

The Power of Custom UV Lamps for PCB Exposure

Standard, off-the-shelf UV lamps often can't deliver the precise performance required for advanced PCB manufacturing. Our custom UV lamps offer distinct advantages:

• Optimized Spectral Output for Superior Results: We fine-tune the spectral output of our Iodine Gallium lamps to perfectly match the absorption characteristics of your specific photoresists. This targeted approach maximizes energy absorption and efficient crosslinking, resulting in sharper image definition, finer lines, and faster exposure times. We specialize in lamps with outputs ideal for various photoresist types, including those optimized for the critical 417nm range. This wavelength is particularly effective for many commonly used photoresists in PCB manufacturing.

• Uniform Illumination for Consistent PCB Quality: Inconsistent UV intensity across the exposure area can lead to variations in circuit patterns and compromised board quality. We engineer custom lamp lengths, shapes, and reflector designs to guarantee uniform UV illumination across the entire exposure surface, ensuring consistent results across every PCB.

• Precise Intensity Control for Optimized Exposure: Achieving the perfect exposure is crucial. Our custom solutions provide precise control over UV intensity, allowing you to fine-tune exposure parameters based on photoresist thickness, type, and desired outcome. This precise control prevents overexposure and underexposure, minimizing waste and maximizing yields.

• Seamless Integration with Custom Lamp Configurations: We understand the importance of seamless integration. We customize lamp dimensions and configurations to perfectly fit your existing exposure equipment, minimizing downtime during installation and reducing integration costs.

• Enhanced Lamp Lifespan and Reliability for Maximum Uptime: We prioritize quality and reliability. Our custom UV lamps are manufactured using high-quality materials and undergo rigorous quality control processes to ensure long lifespan, consistent performance, and minimal maintenance, maximizing your production uptime.

Precautions for Use

1. Supporting Equipment: When using the lamp tube, it must be equipped with corresponding ballasts and starters. These supporting devices can provide stable current and voltage for the lamp tube, ensuring its normal start - up and stable operation. Inappropriate ballasts and starters may cause the lamp tube to fail to light up or cause problems such as flickering and shortened service life during use.

2. High - Temperature Protection: The wall temperature of the lamp tube is very high when it is ignited, reaching several hundred degrees Celsius. Therefore, special attention should be paid to preventing burns. During the operation of the lamp tube, do not touch the surface of the lamp tube. At the same time, obvious warning signs should be set around to remind operators of safety.

3. Installation Requirements: The fixing point of the lamp tube is at the magnetic head, and the end lead should not be suspended and stressed when the lamp is ignited. Incorrect installation methods may damage the internal structure of the lamp tube and affect its normal light emission. When installing the lamp tube, be sure to ensure that it is firmly fixed and the lead is not pulled by external forces.

4. Cleaning and Maintenance: Do not touch the light - emitting part of the lamp tube with your hands, because the grease and dirt on your hands may affect the light - emitting effect and service life of the lamp tube. Before use, wipe the light - emitting part of the lamp tube clean with a dry cloth or alcohol to keep its surface clean and ensure that the light can be emitted evenly and efficiently.

5. Safety Protection: The lamp tube is harmful to the skin and eyes, and direct irradiation should be avoided. During the operation process, operators should wear professional protective glasses to avoid looking directly at the lamp tube. At the same time, protective devices should be set around the lamp tube to prevent the light from directly irradiating the human body.

6. Exposure Time Control: The exposure time should not be too long, generally 30 - 60 seconds. Excessive exposure time may cause over - exposure of the photosensitive material, resulting in problems such as blurred and deformed patterns. Operators should accurately control the exposure time according to the specific photosensitive materials and production process requirements.

7. Current Control: The starting current should not be too high. Excessive starting current may damage the electrodes and gas inside the lamp tube and shorten the service life of the lamp tube. When starting the lamp tube, ensure that the power supply is stable and the current meets the rated requirements of the lamp tube.

8. Life Management: The service life of the lamp tube is 5000 times. It should be replaced in a timely manner when the service life is reached. Even if the lamp tube can still emit light in the later stage of use, as the number of uses increases, its light intensity and spectral characteristics may change, affecting the production quality. Therefore, when the service life is reached, a new lamp tube should be replaced in a timely manner to ensure the stability and consistency of the production process.
