Introduction to UV Curing Technology
UV curing uses ultraviolet light to polymerize photosensitive materials. The UV curing equipment market exceeds $3 billion annually.
UV Light Sources
Mercury arc lamps produce broad-spectrum UV output. UV LED lamps offer energy efficiency and long life (20,000+ hours vs 1,000-2,000 for mercury).
Conveyor System Design
Conveyor speed determines UV exposure time. Slower speeds increase exposure, improving cure for thicker coatings.
