UV Curing

Introduction - UV Curing

In industry, speed and process reliability play important roles. Only those who use efficient technologies in production can be and remain competitive ion the long term.

UV curing describes the curing, initiated by photons, of paints, lacquers adhesives and grouting and potting compounds, such as resins. UV adhesives are solvent-free and consequently especially environmentally-friendly. Curing takes place in the shortest possible time, regularly within a matter of seconds. After the application of the adhesive, the components to be glued together can still be moved, aligned and positioned. The solid mechanical joining only takes place when irradiated by the curing device. If the adhesive is applied correctly, then the joint generally has significantly better material properties than conventional adhesive joints. The joint can be assessed by quality control immediately after adhesion, again saving significant time.

This relatively young, but proven, technology regularly finds application in the following sectors: medical technology, electronics, micro-electronics, optics, micro technology, analysis and measurement technology, motor vehicle construction, jewellery, display industry and mechanical engineering and metal processing.

We have specialised in the manufacture and sales of UV equipment for curing adhesives and grouts and are pleased to help you solve your adhesive problems by offering the most suitable UV equipment.

UV Consulting Peschl offers a comprehensive range of field-proven standard equipment, as well as the capability to provide tailor-made solutions for your individual process.

 

Typical Applications

Electronic/Microelectronics
