OmniCure 806-00027 Dual-Leg High-Power Fiber Light Guide

The OmniCure 806-00027 is a bifurcated high-power fiber light guide designed to deliver optical energy from a compatible OmniCure UV spot-curing system to two separate cure locations. The assembly divides the source output between two flexible legs, each with a 5 mm output diameter, and provides an overall length of 1500 mm.

This dual-leg configuration is useful when two bonding areas, components, or sides of an assembly must be exposed during the same curing cycle. By distributing light from one compatible source to two outputs, the 806-00027 can simplify production fixtures and reduce the need for separate curing systems at each application point.

The high-power fiber construction provides flexible light delivery for laboratory, production, electronics, medical device, optical component, and industrial assembly processes. Its 1.5 m length allows the curing source to remain in a practical location while both output legs are positioned near the workpiece.

The light guide does not generate ultraviolet energy or regulate exposure. Delivered irradiance depends on the connected OmniCure source, installed lamp and filter, source settings, light guide condition, optical coupling, output positioning, working distance, and any accessories installed at the cure site.

Features and Benefits of the OmniCure 806-00027

The OmniCure 806-00027 provides flexible dual-point light delivery for professional UV-curing workflows requiring simultaneous exposure at two locations.

  • Dual-leg configuration: Divides optical energy from one compatible curing source between two separate output legs.
  • Two 5 mm outputs: Provides a 5 mm output diameter on each leg for localized curing of compatible adhesives, coatings, and encapsulants.
  • 1500 mm overall length: Offers approximately 1.5 m of routing distance between the source and curing fixture.
  • High-power fiber construction: Designed to transport concentrated curing energy in supported OmniCure UV spot-curing applications.
  • Simultaneous dual-site curing: Supports exposure of two locations during one curing cycle.
  • Flexible fixture integration: Allows each output leg to be positioned independently within compatible manual or automated assemblies.
  • Compact source utilization: Enables one compatible curing system to supply two cure points without requiring two separate light sources.
  • Reusable optical accessory: Supports repeated production cycles when correctly routed, cleaned, protected, and maintained.
  • Professional assembly applications: Suitable for electronics, medical devices, optoelectronics, fiber optics, laboratory development, and industrial manufacturing.

Dual-Leg Light Distribution

The 806-00027 uses a bifurcated construction in which optical energy entering through the common source connection is distributed between two output legs. This arrangement allows two cure locations to receive light during the same exposure cycle.

Dual outputs are useful for assemblies with adhesive joints on opposite sides, two components that must be cured together, or paired locations within a production fixture. The two legs can be positioned independently to address the geometry of the workpiece.

The total optical energy supplied by the curing system is divided between the two outputs. Each leg should therefore be evaluated at the actual cure position to confirm that the delivered irradiance and exposure time are suitable for the adhesive or material being processed.

Equal mechanical positioning does not automatically guarantee identical irradiance at both cure sites. Optical transmission can be affected by leg condition, bending, working distance, end-face cleanliness, source coupling, and attached accessories. Process-critical applications should measure or validate each output independently.

Two 5 mm Output Legs

Each output leg has a 5 mm diameter. This output size provides a practical illuminated area for localized curing while covering a larger target than a comparable 3 mm light guide.

The actual illuminated area at the workpiece depends on the distance between the light guide output and the curing surface. Positioning an output close to the workpiece typically concentrates the light, while increasing the distance generally enlarges the illuminated area and reduces irradiance.

Both outputs should be aligned so the complete adhesive joint or coating area receives sufficient energy. Incomplete illumination can produce uneven curing, while unnecessary exposure outside the intended area may affect surrounding 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 cure sites. This extended length supports production layouts where the curing system must be positioned away from the fixture because of available space, operator access, ventilation, or automation requirements.

Both output legs should be routed in smooth curves 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 energy.

Suitable supports, clamps, or positioning fixtures can help maintain consistent output placement. Any securing hardware should hold the light guide without compressing the protective jacket or creating a sharp bend.

High-Power Fiber Construction

The OmniCure 806-00027 uses high-power fiber construction for compatible UV spot-curing applications. The internal fibers collect optical energy from the curing source and transport it to the two output ends.

Fiber light guides provide flexible optical delivery without the liquid-filled construction used in some alternative light guide types. The fiber assembly is suitable for applications requiring durable routing and repeated positioning within supported laboratory and production environments.

Optical transmission depends on the condition of the internal fiber bundle. Broken fibers, severe bends, damaged strain relief, contaminated end faces, or impact damage can reduce output and create uneven illumination.

Integration with Compatible OmniCure Systems

The 806-00027 is an optical delivery accessory intended for compatible OmniCure UV spot-curing equipment. The curing system provides the optical energy, exposure control, lamp operation, filtering, shutter control, and other process functions.

Compatibility should be confirmed before installation. The source coupling interface, available light guide detection, lamp type, installed filter, spectral output, mechanical connection, and permitted light guide configuration must support the 806-00027.

The light guide should not be forced into an incompatible source port. Incorrect mechanical coupling can damage the input fitting, source interface, internal fibers, or optical components.

UV Adhesive and Coating Applications

The 806-00027 can deliver curing energy to compatible UV-sensitive adhesives, coatings, sealants, and encapsulants. Typical applications include bonding optical components, securing electronic assemblies, sealing medical devices, curing small coatings, and joining mechanically aligned parts.

Curing performance depends on the material’s spectral sensitivity, required optical dose, layer thickness, joint geometry, surface preparation, and output delivered by each light guide leg.

Exposure time should be established through process development and verified at the actual cure site. A suitable radiometer or validated process-control method can be used to confirm delivered energy and monitor changes over time.

Production Fixture Integration

The dual-leg light guide can be incorporated into compatible manual, semiautomated, or automated curing stations. Each output can be mounted in a fixture that maintains the correct angle, working distance, and position relative to the workpiece.

Stable positioning improves process repeatability by reducing variation between curing cycles. Fixtures should allow the outputs to be inspected and cleaned while protecting the light guide from impact and mechanical strain.

In automated systems, the light guide should be routed so equipment movement does not repeatedly bend, pull, or twist the assembly beyond its safe mechanical limits.

Installation and Positioning

The light guide input should be inspected before installation. The connected OmniCure curing system should be switched off, and its shutter should remain closed while the light guide is inserted or removed.

The input coupling should seat fully and securely without excessive force. The two output legs should be routed in smooth curves and supported so their weight does not pull on the common input connection.

Each 5 mm output should be positioned at the required angle and working distance from its cure site. A suitable holder, clamp, or positioning fixture should be used when repeatable placement is required.

Before production begins, both output legs should be checked to confirm that light is delivered evenly and that each cure location receives the required exposure.

Light Guide Care and Cleaning

The input and both output ends should remain clean and protected from dust, adhesives, oils, fingerprints, and cured residue. Contamination can absorb or scatter optical energy and reduce the irradiance delivered to the workpiece.

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

Protective end caps should remain installed on both output legs when the light guide is not in use. The common source-coupling end should also be protected during storage and transportation.

UV Safety

The 806-00027 can deliver concentrated ultraviolet and visible energy when connected to a compatible OmniCure curing system. Users should not look into either output leg or expose skin or eyes to the emitted light.

The curing source should be disabled 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 curing system, installed filter, output level, and production application.

Comprehensive Functional and Performance Testing

The OmniCure 806-00027 receives comprehensive functional and performance testing before shipment. Evaluation may include visual inspection of the complete 1500 mm assembly, common input coupling, two 5 mm outputs, protective jacket, branching point, 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 through both legs, comparison of the two outputs, illumination uniformity, and output stability.

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

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

Comprehensive Testing Before Shipment

The OmniCure 806-00027 is comprehensively tested before shipment to verify physical condition and light transmission through both 5 mm output legs.

Testing may include inspection of all optical ends, confirmation of secure input and output fittings, examination of the protective jacket and bifurcation, and comparison of the two delivered outputs under controlled source conditions.

Because the 806-00027 is an optical delivery accessory rather than a measurement instrument, formal calibration is generally not applicable. For process-critical use, irradiance from each leg should be measured at the actual cure site with a compatible calibrated radiometer.
