Ultraviolet (UV) light is
used in many applications to instantly
cure or dry inks, coatings and adhesives. When UV light is exposed to
these coatings, a photochemical reaction takes place, drying the coating very
quickly, creating a strong outer bond. UV
curing is used in many manufacturing processes as a very efficient way to speed
up printing, drying and curing applications.
Instant Results
with UV Curing
Because the UV light creates the photochemical reaction so
quickly, the inks or coatings dry evenly and without loss of volume due to
evaporation. This improves the quality
of the process, creating consistent products, whether used in screen printing
or critical parts manufacturing for industrial purposes.
UV Curing
Improves Efficiencies
If one of your continual improvement goals is to become
more efficient, utilizing a UV curing process where printing, drying or curing
is required will add valuable time saving efficiencies. UV Curing of outer coatings can occur
instantly, in a matter of seconds.
Compared to air or heat drying of inks, or spraying parts or units with
chemicals, the UV process is much faster and requires no use of volatile
chemicals.
UV Curing Aids
Several Industrial Applications
Systematic Automation is experienced in developing
effective and efficient UV Curing Systems for a wide array of industrial
applications, including:
·
UV Curing Screen Printing – UV Screen printing is
available for flat or cylindrical products, from ball point pens to keg sized
containers. Vacuum systems can be
incorporated into UV curing systems for all over 360° cure area.
·
Automotive – UV Curing is used on automotive parts such as
visual knobs or buttons with printed words or labels. Exposing these parts to UV radiation creates
a strong outer coating that is stain and scratch resistant.
·
Aerospace – UV Curing provides strong durable parts when
required in extreme conditions. UV
Curing is fast, efficient, and reliable.
·
Marketing- UV Curing is used in printing a wide variety of
items from trinkets, to clothing and large banner or yard signs.
·
