Automotive Manufacturing
With an increasing demand for manufacturers to maximize productivity of their plants around the world, UV and UV LED curing has become an important assembly technique in the manufacturing assembly process, due to its’ rapid processing, on-demand cure, ease of automation, low energy requirements and solvent-free bonding.
Cable Assembly Manufacturing
Cable assemblies are used in various industries to transmit electrical signals, power or data between devices. Typical cable assemblies consist of a set of wires combined into a single cable with a connector on at least one end and can range from simple wire harnesses to complex fiber optic cable assemblies.
Medical Device Assembly
An important bonding and assembly technique for medical device manufacturers is the use of UV curing adhesives due to their rapid processing, cure on-demand nature, ease of automation, lower energy requirements and solvent-free bonding.
Optical Fiber Manufacturing
Given the growing need for optical fiber cables, particularly in the telecommunications industry, manufacturers are continuously striving to enhance manufacturing efficiency while maintaining high standards of product quality and durability. The use of UV curing in optical fiber manufacturing provides numerous benefits, such as increased productivity, improved quality, and reduced waste, making it an attractive option for the industry.
Wood Coatings
Ultraviolet (UV) curing for wood coatings provides an effective and efficient alternative to traditional air, moisture, and thermal cured coatings. UV curing provides faster curing times, reduced energy consumption, and improved coating performance.
UV Printing
UV pinning technology, used between inkjet heads, provides just the right amount of UV energy needed to control dot gain and achieve a variety of printing effects at increased speeds. UV LED can also be used for the full cure of digital ink in bi-directional, single-pass, and 3D printers to create products such as posters, labels, signage, packaging, and 3D objects.
Electronics Manufacturing
Electronics manufacturers face increasing demands for speed, precision, and reliability. For decades, UV and UV LED curing technologies have been essential in meeting those demands.
Metal Substrate Coatings
Metal components, including propane tanks, under the-hood automotive parts, oil filter housings, and motor assemblies, are often coated or printed in demanding production environments. UV curing provides a fast, reliable method for drying and hardening inks, coatings, and finishes on these metal surfaces.
