BlueWave QX4
Control up to four LED Spot-Cure Heads Independently for Greater Curing Flexibility
CE Marked - Available Globally
Dymax BlueWave® QX4 high-intensity spot-curing system features all the benefits of LED-curing technology in a smaller, more versatile unit. This system is comprised of a controller with a footswitch and up to four LED heads. LED heads are available in 365, 385, and 405 nm and can be outfitted with either the 3-, 5-, or 8-mm diameter focusing lenses. LED heads and focusing lenses can be used in any combination and can be controlled through the system’s variable mode, a feature that allows each head to be individually programmed for intensity and cycle times. Individual exposure times and intensity settings can be set to 1% increments for each LED head, giving users maximum curing flexibility
In addition to the curing flexibility, the BlueWave® QX4 also features an easy-to-use control interface that allows flexibility in setup and use of the unit. The unit can be activated by a foot pedal or by PLC interface, allowing it to be easily incorporated into automated systems.
Complete BlueWave® QX4 systems feature a controller/power supply with a footswitch, up to four LED heads/wands, and one of the three lenses needs to be ordered for each head/wand in order to function properly. The length of the head/wand with the direct wired cable is 1.5 M (end to end). Components are sold separately.
Take advantage of the opportunity to evaluate our light-curing systems for two weeks free of charge through our Try-and-Buy program.
PLEASE NOTE: Dymax has discontinued production of the original QX4 controllers, LED heads, and lenses. We will continue selling the QX4 until inventory is depleted in approximately Q1 of 2024. Please work with your territory manager and application engineering team to transition over to our newer QX4 V2.0
