OverviewThe Cermax® ME1600D-13FHM and ME1600DFM are metal-body elliptical and parabolic Xenon lamps and modules designed for high-performance industrial applications requiring compact, intense light sources. This Cermax family is selected by OEMs for demanding uses ranging from rapid semiconductor wafer inspection to lightweight aircraft searchlights. Cermax® Xenon technology offers advantages over conventional UHP or glass bubble lamps in color performance, thermal behavior and system integration.
Key features- Superior color rendering across the visible spectrum
- Integrated elliptical reflector for high-intensity, focused output without alignment issues
- Instant on/off operation eliminates warm-up and cool-down delays
- Ultra short-arc gap suited for compact, high-throughput optical systems and the smallest microchips
- Inert, non-toxic Xenon gas as an alternative to mercury-based UHP sources
- Flexible power range from 400 to 1,600 Watts
- Adjustable light output to support OEM product differentiation
PerformanceCermax metal-body lamps provide increased luminous output, improved uniformity, reproducible alignment and lower system operating temperature due to superior thermal management, supporting higher system reliability and simplified integration in new designs.
