Ultraviolet Lamp illuminates defects during parts inspection.
Press Release Summary:
Model UV-400 SuperFlood UV lamp has 400 W metal halide bulb that provides steady-state UV-A intensity of 6,500 MWcm2 measured at 15 in. from lamp's center. It irradiates 24 x 10 in. area and can detect trace amounts of oil, grease, corrosion, dust, dirt, hydrocarbon residue and other types of contamination on metal surfaces. Applications include inspecting parts prior to components being electroplated, spot welded or electrocoated.

Ultra-Powerful Ultraviolet Lamp Illuminates Defects in Parts Inspection
Westbury, New York -Oil, grease, corrosion, dust, dirt, hydrocarbon residue and other types of contamination on metal surfaces have a damaging effect on parts that are to be electroplated, spot welded, electrocoated, polished or receive any other surface treatment or finishing. To cope with this, metalworking shops worldwide use the Spectroline® model UV-400 SuperFlood UV lamp - the world's most powerful UV flood lamp for fluorescent penetrant and magnetic particle inspections, parts degreasing inspections and wash station inspections.
Oils, greases and lubricants contain varying amounts of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Trace amounts of these materials fluoresce and become clearly visible when exposed to high-intensity UV-A (365 nm) radiation. Once the contamination is revealed, it is easy for inspectors to clean the part's surface.
The UV-400 SuperFlood lamp delivers unequalled power. Its 400-watt metal halide bulb provides a steady-state UV-A intensity of 6,500 MWcm2 measured at 15" (38 cm) from the lamp's center. It irradiates an area as large as 24 x 10" (61 x 26 cm).
Spectronics designed this lamp with user safety in mind. Unlike other units on the market, the UV-400 lamp emits no harmful UV-B (280-320 nm) radiation. The lamp weighs only 36 lbs (16 kg), making it easy to transport and use.
