EXFO OmniCure S2000 200 W UV/Visible Spot Curing System, No Lamp Included

EXFO OmniCure S2000 200 W UV/Visible Spot Curing System

Important product notice: A lamp/bulb is not included with this EXFO OmniCure S2000. A compatible 200 W OmniCure Intelli-Lamp is required for UV/visible curing operation and must be obtained separately unless specifically identified in the product listing.

The EXFO OmniCure S2000 is a precision UV/visible spot curing system engineered for high-speed automated and semi-automated manufacturing. It delivers controlled light through a compatible liquid-filled or fiber light guide for curing light-sensitive adhesives used in medical device assembly, electronics manufacturing, fiber optic component production, optical alignment, and other precision bonding processes.

The OmniCure S2000 combines closed-loop optical feedback, adjustable irradiance, programmable exposure time, fast shutter operation, process alarms, StepCure multi-phase curing, and external control capabilities. These functions help manufacturers establish repeatable curing procedures and integrate the system into production equipment.

The S2000 is designed around a replaceable 200 W OmniCure Intelli-Lamp. The Intelli-Lamp normally provides broad UV and visible spectral output and incorporates lamp identification, operating-hour tracking, a built-in reflector, and a pre-aligned snap-in design. However, this unit is supplied without the lamp/bulb, so light output and curing functions require installation of a compatible lamp.

Important: No Lamp/Bulb Included

This EXFO OmniCure S2000 does not include the required 200 W Intelli-Lamp bulb. The system cannot generate UV/visible curing light until a compatible OmniCure Intelli-Lamp is installed.

• Lamp status: No lamp/bulb is included.
• Required component: Compatible 200 W OmniCure Intelli-Lamp.
• Operating requirement: A compatible lamp must be installed before optical output or curing performance can be tested or used.
• Additional equipment: A suitable light guide or optical delivery accessory is also required to deliver light to the curing site.
• Buyer responsibility: Confirm lamp compatibility and availability before purchasing the system.

A lamp, light guide, radiometer, optical adapters, filters, foot pedal, PLC cable, serial cable, and other accessories should not be considered included unless specifically shown and identified in the product listing.

• Calibration support: Can be calibrated using a compatible OmniCure R2000 Radiometer.

Closed-Loop Optical Feedback

The OmniCure S2000 incorporates an internal intensity sensor that monitors optical output in real time. As the installed lamp ages and its output decreases, the system can open the iris automatically to help maintain the selected irradiance.

The closed-loop system is designed to correct light output within ±5% under supported operating conditions. When the installed lamp can no longer produce the selected irradiance, the system can generate a PLC or audible alarm.

This feedback capability helps improve consistency across repeated curing cycles. It can also allow a compatible lamp to be used more effectively throughout its service life while supporting documented manufacturing processes.

Because no lamp is included with this unit, closed-loop optical performance can only be evaluated after a compatible lamp is installed and the system is configured with the required light-delivery components.

200 W Intelli-Lamp Compatibility

The S2000 is designed for a 200 W OmniCure Intelli-Lamp. A compatible lamp normally provides broad output across the UV and visible spectrum and is suitable for a variety of light-curable adhesive and substrate combinations.

The Intelli-Lamp system uses a snap-in, pre-aligned design that eliminates manual lamp alignment and focusing. The lamp includes its own reflector, and the curing system automatically identifies the compatible lamp and tracks its operating hours.

The documented 200 W Intelli-Lamp has a guaranteed operating life of 2,000 hours under the applicable manufacturer terms and operating conditions. Lamp life and output vary according to usage, cooling, environmental conditions, start cycles, and system maintenance.

No Intelli-Lamp is included with this S2000 system. The buyer must source a compatible replacement lamp before using the unit for curing applications.

StepCure Multi-Phase Curing

StepCure is a programmable multi-phase curing process available with the OmniCure S2000. It allows a customized curing profile to apply controlled doses of light at predetermined intensity levels and exposure durations.

A multi-phase process can begin with a lower-intensity exposure for controlled adhesive tacking or alignment, followed by additional stages that complete the cure. This approach is useful when a full-intensity exposure could cause adhesive shrinkage, movement, outgassing, or other unwanted process effects.

Customized StepCure profiles can be downloaded directly to the S2000 so the curing sequence can be executed without maintaining a permanent connection to an external computer.

Automated Manufacturing Integration

The OmniCure S2000 is designed for integration into automated manufacturing equipment. External control is available through the 15-pin I/O connections and serial computer communication.

A compatible PLC can control supported functions and monitor process status. Available process-related outputs include timer synchronization, shutter verification, system alarms, and exposure-fault information.

The documented PC control software can query system information related to the lamp, calibration, alarms, and shutter position. This capability supports process monitoring, equipment integration, and manufacturing documentation.

Fast Shutter Operation

The S2000 includes a high-speed shutter for controlling the duration of UV/visible exposure. In PLC mode, maximum trigger-to-shutter activation latency is 50 ms.

Fast and controlled shutter operation supports short curing processes, automated fixtures, indexed production lines, and applications in which exposure timing contributes directly to bond quality.

Shutter verification outputs can help confirm that the shutter opened and closed during the programmed curing cycle.

Adjustable Irradiance Control

The adjustable iris allows the optical output to be controlled according to the adhesive, substrate, exposure time, light guide, working distance, and required curing process.

Iris position is adjustable in 1% increments and has a linear relationship with output irradiance. Fine adjustment helps process engineers establish lower-output tacking cycles, higher-output final cures, and multi-stage curing profiles.

Actual irradiance at the work surface depends on the installed lamp, filter, light guide, optical accessory, working distance, beam geometry, and system calibration.

Light Guides and Optical Accessories

The OmniCure S2000 supports multiple light-delivery configurations for directing UV/visible energy from the source to the curing site.

• Single-leg liquid light guides: Deliver light to one curing point and are available in different tip diameters and lengths.
• High-power fiber light guides: Provide an alternative optical delivery method for compatible precision-curing applications.
• Multi-leg light guides: Distribute energy to multiple curing locations from one source.
• Light lines: Convert a spot output into a linear curing pattern for compatible assemblies.
• Cure rings: Provide circumferential light delivery for compatible tubing, cables, and cylindrical components.
• Collimating adapters: Support applications requiring a larger or more uniform illuminated area.

A light guide is required to deliver optical energy to the workpiece. A compatible light guide is not included unless specifically identified with the unit.

OmniCure R2000 Radiometer Compatibility

The OmniCure S2000 can be used with an OmniCure R2000 Radiometer to measure optical power, set irradiance levels, and calibrate the curing system from a controlled reference point.

The R2000 uses a wideband detector system covering wavelengths from 250 nm to 600 nm and supports NIST-traceable calibration. Radiometer calibration is documented as valid for one year under the applicable calibration program.

Using a calibrated radiometer supports process validation, repeatable irradiance settings, maintenance programs, and quality-assurance documentation. The R2000 Radiometer and its sensors or adapters are not included unless specifically listed.
