Manufacturers choose Excelitas for our broad portfolio of UV curing technologies, including UV LED, arc lamp, and microwave systems. These solutions are engineered to deliver consistent irradiance, precise wavelength control, and reliable performance across demanding applications.
We also provide application support, validation testing, and custom engineering to help ensure systems align with specific production requirements.
UV curing systems are used across a wide range of industries that rely on fast, controlled curing of adhesives, coatings, and inks. Common applications include:
- Medical device assembly and coatings
- Electronics and optoelectronics manufacturing
- Printing, labels, and packaging
- Automotive components and assemblies
- Battery manufacturing
- Fiber and cable processing
- Functional films
- Building materials
Depending on the process, UV curing can support adhesive bonding, protective coatings, marking, decorating, and other high-speed manufacturing operations.
The right system depends on your formulation, substrate, process speed, curing area, and production environment. Key factors include the required wavelength, the needed peak irradiance, energy density, and whether your process calls for spot curing or area curing.
You may also need to decide between UV LED and broad-spectrum lamp technologies. For example, UV LED is ideal for heat-sensitive substrates, extremely fast production speeds, and processes with high-performance requirements. Microwave UV curing is often used when broad-spectrum UV output is required to cure highly pigmented or specialty formulations, without reformulating materials for LED compatibility. We work with customers to evaluate these variables and identify the best-fit solution.
UV curing systems are designed with shielding, controlled exposure zones, and integrated system controls to limit operator exposure to UV radiation. Many systems also reduce thermal output, particularly UV LED solutions that emit minimal infrared heat.
At Excelitas, safety is an important part of system design and application support. We work with customers to help ensure solutions are implemented appropriately in their production environments.
Yes. We offer solutions that can be adapted to specific curing widths, wavelengths, power levels, and line configurations. We also support custom-engineered systems for more complex requirements, including complete solutions with controls, shielding, material handling, and other integration features.
For applications requiring validation, our teams can also provide feasibility testing and technical services to support implementation and long-term performance.
