Realize the ease, power, versatility, and ultimate contact of Ryonet X-Vactor Vacuum Exposure Unit & Inspection Table.
With thousands of our standard exposure units in the market, we decided it was time to take the next step and make a quality affordable vacuum exposure unit. One of the most important factors to an optimal exposure is very positive contact between the glass, film, and screen. While this can be done manually with compression using weight and foam, a vacuum efficiently extracts all air between the screen frame, film, and glass to insure an extremely close positive contact. Not only is positive contact easily achieved, but the screen remains light safe under the black neoprene blanket. Add to the vacuum blanket a digital timer, two light safe inspection bulbs, and this unit is as user and time friendly as they come.
With 240 watts of high powered UV light the X-Vactor is one of the most powerful fluorescent style exposure units on the market. This unit will expose most dual cure emulsions in approximately 3 minutes and photopolymer emulsions in under a minute. We highly recommend that you always have an exposure calculator in order to determine the optimal exposure time for your emulsion, stencil thickness, and bulb output.
Includes an Analog Timer
The X-Vactor includes a highly accurate electronic analog timer. Its lit with LED's and is very easy to use. You have the option to upgrade to a digital timer for only $100.
Digital Timer (UPGRADE OPTION)
The programmable digital timer upgrade option enables you to pinpoint and adjust specific exposure times around your parameters and needs. With accuracy to the the tenth of second, the timer automatically shuts down the light after exposure.
Control Panel
The X-Vactor control panel has 4 easy to use key functions.
Time Adjustment
Timer On/Off
Vacuum Blanket On/Off
Light Safe Inspection Bulbs On/Off
These 4 controls allow you to easily operate your exposure unit for accurate multi facet use.
(The picture of the control panel shows the digital timer which is an upgrade option).
Light Inspection Bulbs
Two functions, one unit! Two light safe inspection bulbs located on either end of the exposure glass provide bright 100% UV blocked yellow light throughout the glass. This allows your exposure unit to double as a film and screen inspection table. Touchup or splice films, insure proper image alignment on your screen, and inspect for pinholes without having to strain to see what you are doing or worrying about light contamination. Standard light tables this size run upwards of $400 so by combining light safe bulbs with the X-Vactor you've doubled your function and saved money!

Bulbs: Exposure unit bulbs are like tanning bed bulbs, they will slowly loose UV output as they are used. This can be compensated by slightly increasing your exposure time as the bulbs dim. We highly recommend that you always have an exposure calculator in order to determine the optimal exposure time for your emulsion, stencil thickness, and bulb output. We recommend replacing your bulbs when your exposure time has increased more than 25-30% from the original settings.
Replacement bulbs are available from Ryonet.
Replacement vacuum blankets are available from Ryonet.
