Curing Norland NOA 85V With a UV Spot System
Norland NOA 85V is a UV/visible-curing optical adhesive. Its manufacturer's datasheet cures it at 365 nm / 405 nm (absorbs 320–450 nm), 3.5 J/cm² for full cure. Here is which Uvitron UV spot systems cover that wavelength, how to choose between them, and what to confirm before you run production.

Which Systems Cover It
All three systems output the 365 nm / 405 nm this adhesive needs, so choose by how you cure, not by wavelength:
Norland NOA 85V's datasheet gives a target dose of about 3500 mJ/cm². Measure the intensity your system delivers at the working distance with a radiometer, and this gives the exposure time for that dose, since dose = intensity × time.
Estimate only. Cure also depends on film thickness, geometry, substrate, and inhibition, so qualify the result on your own parts.
Read This Before You Rely on It. These are the manufacturer's published specifications, not our own test results. Whether a cure fully succeeds also depends on your film thickness, joint geometry, substrate, and lamp distance, so always validate the cure on your own parts and process, and confirm the numbers against the manufacturer's current datasheet.
