UV LED curing solutions are being rapidly adopted for curing adhesives in factory assembly lines throughout the world. Low operating costs, long lifetime, and low maintenance are just a few of the reasons. Additionally, small electronic components maybe sensitive to heat and UV LED overcomes those issues by being a ‘cool’ light source.
UV LED technology is a perfect match for adhesive curing components such as speakers, camera modules, display screens, and printed circuit boards. The unique combination of high-energy UV LED sources with the appropriate adhesive provides increased productivity, while also providing the ability to cure heat sensitive materials.
UV adhesive curing for medical applications such as: syringes, catheters, IV delivery systems, endoscopes, hearing aids. UV LED curing technology minimizes the heat load to the work surface allowing for capability with heat-sensitive applications. The long lifetime, instant on/off control and consistent UV output can improve process variation and control.
Additional manufacturing processes such as solar panels, glass, metals, elastomers, composites and many plastics lend themselves to using UV LED curing. UV LED light sources are utilized in a wide range of industrial applications due to their long-life and high reliability.
Area curing solutions target adhesives cure applications, mainly in electronics manufacturing production lines and lab material/substrate curing. Starting from a base curing area of 100 x 100 mm, these modular products can scale in three directions to provide contiguous, uniform UV output.
Use a UV LED lamp that is larger than the typical spot curing pen and offers significantly more power.
