CURING
Curing with UV when time, perfection and safety is a given priority.
Curing using UV Light
Curing with high intensity UV light is used to instantly dry inks, coatings, and adhesives. The process is based on a photochemical reaction, when liquid monomers and oligomers are mixed with photo initiators, and exposed to the UV light. UV curing is used in many industries including automotive, electronics, telecommunications, graphic arts, converting and metal, glass and plastic decorating. The UV curing process has many advantages over traditional drying methods in terms of production time, number of errors, manufacturing space, and environmental issues. Depth-curing with UV radiation, at wavelengths between 300-400 nm give the best results. The method gives very short curing times to handling strength as well as low heat generation and energy consumption.
Curing Silicon with SuperXenon at low temperature
Many silicone products are cured using UV light for electronic display applications. During such process the curing time must be very short and the temperature as low as possible. The actual curing time is determined based on the distance between the light source and the surface as well as the thickness and dimensions of the silicon applied.
UV inspection of coatings on electronics
Most PCBs manufactured are sealed with some kind of coating. Either for moisture protection, water protection or other kinds of sealing. It is of utter importance that the coating is applied in a correct way on the PCB, covering the components it is intended to. Some components are crucial to cover, others must not be covered. All coatings are clear and very difficult to see with the naked eye. The majority of all coatings fluoresce under 365 nm and become visual to the human eye. Inspecting the PCB with Labino ultra violet light ensures that the coating has been applied correctly.
