Dispensing barrel loader gives better accuracy
The Fisnar 560548-M Barrel Loader from Intertronics is designed for the pre-loading of 3ml to 55ml dispensing barrels and accepts standard pre-filled 300ml caulking or sealant cartridges
Their solvent-free, rapid cure characteristics increase productivity, lower assembly costs and enhance operator safety.
The OP-29 series is available in viscosities ranging from 2500 to 20,000cP - from thin wicking grades to thixotropic gels.
They are designed to cure fully when exposed to low to medium intensity UV and visible light in the 300-500Nm range.
They have unlimited pot life and cure "on demand" in seconds, eliminating long cure time and racking, so parts can be ready to be shipped for JIT delivery.
OP-29 series optical adhesives have excellent adhesion to lens construction materials and to most metal, coated or painted frames and holders.
Their low shrinkage (2.8% linear shrinkage) and good flexibility (35,000 psi Modulus) minimise movement, eliminating birefringence common to more rigid types of formulations.
Successful lens bonding applications include cameras, microscopes, tank periscopes, as well as eyeglass and sunglass lenses.
Intertronics also offers a full line of compatible UV light curing sources for all types of optical applications.
