Description

OmniCure 806-00014 High-Power Fiber Light Guide 3 mm x 1500 mm

The OmniCure 806-00014 is a high-power fiber light guide designed to deliver concentrated optical energy from a compatible OmniCure UV spot-curing system to a defined curing location. This configuration features a 3 mm output diameter and an overall length of 1500 mm, providing a compact curing spot with sufficient reach for laboratory, production, and equipment-integration applications.

A light guide forms the optical delivery path between the curing system and the workpiece. The 806-00014 transfers the source output to adhesives, coatings, encapsulants, and other compatible UV-sensitive materials without requiring the complete curing system to be positioned directly beside the application area.

The high-power fiber construction is suitable for applications requiring flexible routing and controlled spot delivery. Its 1.5 m length allows the curing source to remain in a practical operating location while the light guide output is positioned near the assembly, fixture, or bonding area.

The 3 mm output is appropriate for localized curing where optical energy must be directed onto a relatively small target. Actual irradiance and curing performance depend on the connected OmniCure system, installed lamp and filter, source settings, light guide condition, output distance, exposure time, and optical accessories used at the cure site.

Features and Benefits of the OmniCure 806-00014

The OmniCure 806-00014 provides practical value for professional users who require reliable light delivery for precision UV-curing workflows.

3 mm Precision Light Delivery

The 806-00014 has a 3 mm output diameter for directing curing energy onto a localized area. This compact spot size is useful for small adhesive joints, optical components, electronic assemblies, fiber optic devices, and other applications where a larger illuminated area is not required.

The actual illuminated area at the workpiece can vary with the distance between the light guide output and the curing surface. Positioning the output close to the workpiece generally concentrates the delivered energy, while increasing the distance can enlarge the illuminated area and reduce irradiance.

The output should be aligned carefully with the complete adhesive or coating area. Incomplete illumination can produce uneven curing, while excessive exposure outside the intended area may affect nearby light-sensitive materials.

1500 mm Flexible Length

The 1500 mm length provides approximately 1.5 m of routing distance between the OmniCure source and the curing location. This extended reach supports equipment layouts where the curing system must be placed away from the fixture because of space, access, ventilation, or automation requirements.

The light guide should be routed in a smooth curve and protected from tight bends, crushing, pulling, twisting, and repeated sharp flexing. Excessive mechanical stress can damage the internal fiber bundle and reduce transmitted optical output.

Suitable clamps, guides, or positioning hardware can help support the light guide without applying excessive pressure. The output end should remain stable throughout the exposure cycle to maintain consistent alignment with the cure site.

High-Power Fiber Construction

The OmniCure 806-00014 uses a high-power fiber design intended for compatible UV spot-curing applications. Fiber light guides provide flexible optical delivery while avoiding the liquid-fill construction used in some alternative light guide types.

The optical fibers inside the assembly collect light from the source and transport it to the output end. The quantity of delivered energy depends on the coupling between the source and light guide, the condition of the internal fibers, the cleanliness of the optical ends, and the spectral compatibility of the complete curing system.

A damaged fiber bundle may show reduced output, uneven illumination, localized dark areas, or inconsistent curing. The light guide should be inspected periodically and compared with a known reference when process performance is critical.

Compatible OmniCure UV Spot-Curing Systems

The 806-00014 is designed as an optical accessory for compatible OmniCure UV spot-curing equipment. The curing system supplies the optical energy, while the light guide transports that energy to the workpiece.

System compatibility should be confirmed before installation. The source coupling interface, lamp type, installed filter, spectral output, light guide detection, and mechanical connection must be suitable for the 806-00014.

For lamp-based OmniCure systems, the delivered spectral range depends on the source and installed filter. The light guide itself does not generate ultraviolet energy, control exposure time, or regulate irradiance.

Compatible 3 mm Optical Accessories

The 3 mm output configuration supports selected OmniCure accessories designed for 3 mm light guides. Available accessory types include a replaceable quartz rod lens, a 90-degree angle adapter, a fixed collimating adapter, and an adjustable collimating adapter.

A 90-degree adapter can redirect the output where straight access is difficult. A collimating adapter can modify the output beam for applications requiring a different working distance or illumination profile.

Accessory compatibility, working distance, spot size, irradiance, and mechanical fit should be verified before use. Optical accessories can introduce additional transmission loss and can change the delivered energy density at the workpiece.

Installation and Positioning

The light guide input should be inspected before installation and inserted into the compatible OmniCure source according to the curing system’s operating procedure. The coupling end should seat fully and securely without excessive force.

The light guide should be routed using broad curves and supported so that its weight does not pull on the source connection. Tight bends, clamps with excessive pressure, sharp edges, and repeated twisting should be avoided.

The 3 mm output should be positioned at the required working distance from the cure site. A suitable mechanical holder or positioning fixture should be used when consistent placement is required across repeated production cycles.

Before production begins, delivered optical output should be measured or validated at the cure position using a compatible radiometer or an established process-control method.

Light Guide Care and Cleaning

Both optical ends should remain clean and protected from dust, adhesive, oils, fingerprints, and cured material. Contamination can absorb or scatter the optical energy, reduce delivered irradiance, and create localized heating.

The optical ends should only be cleaned using a compatible OmniCure light guide cleaning kit or another approved optical-cleaning procedure. Abrasive materials, unapproved solvents, and sharp tools should not be used.

A protective end cap should remain installed on the 3 mm output when the light guide is not in use. The input end should also be protected during storage and transportation.

UV Safety

The 806-00014 can deliver concentrated ultraviolet and visible optical energy when connected to a compatible curing system. Users should not look directly into the output end or expose skin or eyes to the emitted light.

The curing system should be switched off and its shutter closed before the light guide is connected, removed, inspected, cleaned, or repositioned.

Suitable shielding, interlocks, protective eyewear, process enclosures, and workplace procedures should be used according to the connected curing system, installed filter, output level, and application.

Comprehensive Functional and Performance Testing

The OmniCure 806-00014 receives comprehensive functional and performance testing before shipment. Evaluation may include visual inspection of the full 1500 mm assembly, input coupling, 3 mm output, protective jacket, strain relief, ferrules, and optical end faces.

When a compatible OmniCure curing system and radiometer are available, optical testing may include confirmation of light transmission, output uniformity, stability, and comparison with a suitable reference light guide.

The assembly may be inspected for broken internal fibers, excessive transmission loss, dark areas, jacket cuts, crushing, tight bends, loose fittings, damaged strain relief, contaminated optical ends, or unauthorized repairs.

The exact testing scope depends on the compatible OmniCure source, installed lamp and filter, radiometer, output accessory, curing wavelength range, and required measurement method.

Buyer Considerations

Buyers should confirm the complete part number as OmniCure 806-00014. This configuration identifies a single-output high-power fiber light guide with a 3 mm output diameter and 1500 mm length.

The product should not be confused with part number 806-00029, which is a three-leg, 3 mm x 1500 mm high-power fiber light guide. The 806-00014 is the single-output version.

The product listing should identify whether a protective end cap, positioning hardware, collimating adapter, angle adapter, cleaning kit, radiometer, or compatible OmniCure curing system is included.

Only the OmniCure 806-00014 light guide and accessories specifically identified in the product listing should be considered included.

Comprehensive Testing Before Shipment

The OmniCure 806-00014 is comprehensively tested before shipment to verify its physical condition and ability to transmit light through the complete 1.5 m fiber assembly.

Testing may include inspection of both optical ends, confirmation of secure input and output fittings, examination of the protective jacket, and comparison of delivered output against an available reference under controlled source conditions.

Because a light guide is an optical delivery accessory rather than a measurement instrument, formal calibration is generally not applicable. For process-critical use, delivered irradiance should be measured at the cure site using a compatible calibrated radiometer.
