Cycle Time Reduced by More Than 30 Minutes with iCure Spot Curing System
Hamden, Connecticut, August 2, 2010 - IRphotonics, a world leader in the design, manufacture, and marketing of Infrared-based materials and systems announced that its iCure(TM) Spot curing System has completed qualification and production acceptance with a leading medical device manufacturer in the United States.
Following a six-month evaluation project, the device manufacturer has purchased an undisclosed number of iCure units to bond microelectronic components on a disposable medical device. Using the iCure allowed a multiple step and batch manufacturing process to be stream-lined down to single piece flow and allowed a cycle time reduction of more than 30 minutes. Under the terms of the agreement, the name of the device manufacturer cannot be disclosed.
Ruben Burga, VP Sales for IRphotonics commented "The iCure gave consistent and repeatable results throughout the evaluation phase during which the customers' manufacturing group rigorously evaluated several different alternatives. We are extremely happy to have been selected; it confirms the iCure as an innovative solution ideally suited for automated manufacturing processes requiring rapid adhesive curing and localized heating."
iCure AS200 Spot Curing system
The iCure AS200 is a revolutionary inline fiber optic system that provides heat by Infrared radiation in a portable unit, delivering pinpoint and accurate control for temperature sensitive substrates and complex devices.
