| APPLICATIONS |
|
The UVICURE Plus is a self-contained, electro-optic instrument designed
to measure and display peak UV irradiance and total UV energy density applied
to a workpiece in a UV curing system. The UVICURE Plus has a unique compact
design, only 4.60 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch high, which allows it
to be placed directly in most curing environments. The instrument operates
successfully in the extremes of UV and thermal radiation often encountered
in UV curing systems.
A carefully designed optical sensing system measures total UV dosage in a particular bandwidth. The output is converted to a digital form and then displayed on the LCD. Total UV energy density, measured in Joules/cm2, is the result of the integrated irradiance during exposure time. It is how much actual UV energy was impinged on the unit from the time it encountered UV until the time the UV source was removed.
The UVICURE Plus also has the distinct advantage of being able to monitor
the peak irradiance in Watts/cm2. This
allows the operator to determine not only the total energy density, but
also how that energy density is delivered; i.e., at what irradiance.
