LED 5000 2431 with Vacuum Motor
This photos shows our standard Vacuum Motor, holding down the film positive. Notice the vacuum blanket is "soft" around the frame itself, while holding the positive securely in place in the middle of the frame. Lawson "soft-tight" vacuum motor extends the life of the vacuum blanket, while holding the film positive tightly in place. -

The LED-5000 simulates a Metal Halide exposure.This led exposure unit uses state-of-the-art technology, yet is still reasonably priced. Rapid exposure (5,000 watt equivalent light) is combined with energy-efficiency, ease-of-use and reliability.
The Lawson LED-5000 Exposure Unit has powerful LED Lamps are rich in UV output and are optically balanced to provide exceptionally rapid exposure, especially with SBQ 1-part emulsions, without undercutting and assuring excellent resolution. Consistent exposure is guaranteed by our electronic countdown timer. Accurate light output is always assured because our specially designed LED lamps are guaranteed to last 3 years without loss of light intensity (typical life is 10 years+).
The vacuum frame features a black rubber-flex blanket formulated to resist tearing and pinholes, yet is extremely flexible to conform to the smallest contour, giving firm vacuum contact. The black rubber absorbs light, resulting in a smooth, anti-glare background. A powerful, 1.25 horsepower vacuum motor provides instant vacuum draw-down and immediate film-to-screen contact. The hinged frame has a hydraulic gas lifter to facilitate raising and lowering.
