Black box pressure pad UV exposure unit for platemaking

The Black Box UV unit is the most cost effective model we offer and is ideal for exposing a wide range of products such as pad printing plates, hot foil polymer plates, ID-MARK® sign making materials and more. The tubes are housed in the bottom of the steel case which means that the artwork has to be registered on the material to be exposed, and then placed face down on the exposure bed. The units are coloured black and have a pressure pad which is housed in the hinged lid. When the lid is closed, the foam pressure pad forces the artwork and material together to ensure good contact.

The Black Box pressure pad UV exposure unit is suitable for the following applications:


An electronic timer is fitted to the front of unit and is housed in a touch sensitive membrane. Exposure time is entered by pressing either the up or down arrow until the desired time is shown.

The exposure cycle is started by pressing the start button, and when finished, the display flashes and returns to the original setting.

Please review the Xeros range of UV units if a more advanced timer control with audible exposure complete warning is a required feature. The Xeros range of UV units should be purchased when fine detail or photographic reproduction is required. Where this is not the case, the Black Box will prove more than adequate.
