Going places ... going places fast. As I look over this new edition of Xenon’s newsletter, that’s the impression I’m getting. Our customers are telling us they want faster throughput with less waste. Safer production.Louis Panico, CEO Better bottomline results. Well, we’re listening, and we’re acting on what they’re telling us. And because our technology is driving the markets, we’re gaining new customers every week.

And speaking of going places, Xenon people are heading out to RadTech in Chicago and to Media-Tech Expo in Frankfort. At RadTech, Kent Kipling, our VP Operations, will be giving an important paper on Pulsed UV Light For Heat Sensitive Continuous Motion Applications. And at Media-Tech, you’ll have the opportunity to see our RC-900 Series and talk with our Applications Engineer.

So if you’re going places too ... whether you’re packing your bags and checking your tickets or whether you are planning big things for your company’s products and productivity, why not include Xenon in your plans?

Details about each show are available on our web site. To view them click here

Pulsed UV Light for Heat Sensitive Continuous Motion Applications

Pulsed UV Light ... It’s Not Just for Indexing Anymore!
Recent advances in lamp geometries, pulse rates and lamp wattages make this technology available now for heat sensitive continuous motion applications such as wood coating.

To achieve this, Xenon: 1) bumped up power ratings, 2) employed its proprietary InterWeave™ circuitry to enable a single power supply and controller to simultaneously operate two lamps, (offering the side benefit of reducing the end user’s initial equipment costs), and 3) produced higher flash rates at the desired energies- per-pulse. Xenon also designed two new U-lamps to expand optical footprints while maintaining target-focused high peak energy intensities. The U-lamp design, incidentally, when used in combination with higher pulse rates, eliminates striping problems.

To read how a major international manufacturer is already applying this Xenon breakthrough technology to wood coatings, using its new vacuum coating and roll coating equipment, watch the Xenon website. Details will be available post-RadTech in mid-May.

  
New Generation of UV Curing Systems
The Blu-ray high definition media has arrived! And Xenon Corporation is pumping Gen-Blu’s productivity with Xenon technology. We’ve designed higher power curing systems specifically for the manufacture of Blu-ray discs. RC-900 FamilyOur RC-900 Series uses the new Model PS-916 power supply to offer faster pulse rate operation—it delivers 207Joules/pulse at 25pps to provide the key to higher throughput. The RS-900 Series is mercury-free (uses less energy too), has low substrate heat, deep penetration, modularity and flexibility. It gives you a choice of single or dual lamp housings, and if you’re presently using Xenon’s RC-800 series, you’ll find upgrades are easy.

High productivity ... how do you know if you have it?

Xenon’s CEO Lou Panico suggests you ask this: “How many good discs do you have at the end of the day? There’s your proof of productivity. Want it higher? Get the RC-900. You’ll see significant improvement.”
A Burst of Sunshine

True sunlight simulation is achievable with Xenon Corporation’s line of specialty flashlamps that assure reliable and repeatable test results for photovoltaic cells and solar A Burst of Sunshinemodules.

Since the early 1980s, Xenon has been in the forefront of photovoltaic cell and module testing, first supplying flashlamps and electronics to Arco Solar, and then working to solve the problems of insufficient energy and excessive heat associated with CW light sources.

Now, where controlled artificial sunlight is required, the instant on/off capabilities of pulsed xenon lamps are turning in exceptional performances by eliminating heat buildup in cells and modules while reducing energy consumption.

  
Going Green Outside the Asceptic Chamber
It’s all about safety, isn’t it. There’s the need for surface sanitation ... and there’sGoing Green a need to sanitize safely. And so, to eliminate the use of harsh chemicals that were used to sanitize boxes, bags and carts destined for aseptic rooms, Xenon has developed a new high energy pulsed UV light system that achieves rapid bio-reducation and surface disinfecting goals while being totally “green.”

The system is called the SteriPulse® RS-3000 Surface Sanitization system, and it reduces contamination risks from packages entering an aseptic room. Without using heat or chemicals, SteriPulse RS-3000 is capable of 2 to 4 log kills in under one second, and it achieves this kill rate instantly, safely, and without heat or chemicals. For the pre-aseptic room, Xenon makes it easy to be green.
