Vacuum Bed UV Exposure Units

The Xeros single sided range

A high specification vacuum bed unit

Xeros single sided vacuum bed UV exposure unit

Our range if uv exposure units can be used to make hot foil polymer plates, pad printing cliches, uv processed sign making materials and PCBs. The Xeros range of single and double sided (DS) vacuum bed UV units feature an attractive low profile aluminium case, and are fitted with an advanced electronic timer controller. The timer is controlled from a touch membrane panel that includes a digital display which reads from 0 - 999 seconds.

The lid is raised and lowered with the assistance of internally fitted gas struts, and a safety cut out device is incorporated to prevent the tubes from operating when the lid is raised. Mains power is introduced via a fused I.E.C panel mounted socket, which incorporates a separate double pole ON/OFF rocker switch.

Operation of the unit is simple. Set the time in seconds, close the lid and press the start button. An integral vacuum pump then begins and first removes the air from the chamber to ensure perfect contact between artwork and material to be exposed. After vacuum has been achieved, the exposure cycle begins. During exposure, the timer counts down and once the cycle is complete, the display returns to the original setting, an exposure complete light illuminates, and a buzzer sounds for 3 seconds. (Note that the lid can only be released once a valve releases the vacuum.) The exposure complete light will remain on until the lid is lifted, which acts as a safeguard against the possibility of double exposure cycles.


The Xeros double sided vacuum bed UV exposure unit can be used to do the following:


The Xeros range of UV units should be purchased when fine detail or photographic reproduction is required. Where this is not the case, the Axos range will prove more than adequate.

Double side exposure made easy!

In addition to traditional single sided exposure systems, the Xeros range of exposure devices can be supplied as double sided systems. Clients that need to expose both sides of a PCB at the same time, in registration, will find the Xeros double sided range (DS) of great benefit.

Naturally, the Xeros double sided range (DS) can also be used to expose single sided PCB's at the flick of a switch!

Our range of double sided (DS) vacuum bed UV units are an essential tool in the production of double sided PCB’s. By exposing both sides of the board at the same time, the issue of registering two separate exposures on a single sided exposure device is removed. The Xeros double sided (DS) units are similar to the standard Xeros vacuum bed range except for one importance difference - they have a flexible mylar film in front of the tubes contained in the lid which closes onto a glass base beneath which there is another set of UV tubes.

The Xeros double sided vacuum bed UV exposure unit can be used to do the following:


For additional flexibility, the Xeros double sided (DS) range can also be used as a single sided exposure device by simply turning off the lower set of tubes.
