LIGHT CURING APPLICATIONS

 

Over the past decade, Uvitron has assisted many companies to establish successful utilization of UV curing in their manufacturing or laboratory processes.  Because many individuals  are not yet familiar with the countless possible uses of UV light and curing, we have listed below some of the applications we have encountered which may be similar to uses you may require in your business:

  • Wire tacking and coil termination.

  • Lens assembly and optical component bonding.

  • Optical fiber connections; tacking and splicing.

  • Screw locking.

  • Fixing of components on PC boards.

  • Tamper proofing adjustable components.

  • Repair of PC Board sealing.

  • Components sealing and protection

  • Forming and potting of components.

  • Bonding cover glasses to microscope slides, photodiodes, filters, solar cells, etc.

  • Jewelry manufacturing.

  • Luminescence/Fluorescence Activation.

  • Penetrant dye crack detection.

  • Conformal coating of PC boards

  • Semiconductor die conformal coating for moisture protection (hermetic package)

  • Masking of PC board holes before wave soldering

  • Instant silk-screening

  • Securing transformer ferrite E-cores

  • Bonding wound cores to PC boards

  • Coating of golf club heads and private label logos

  • Doming applications on pins (medallions, badges and tokens)

  • Wafer masking

  • Wafer contamination inspection

  • Exposure of UV adhesive tape for wafer backgrinding, etching & dicing  (see Furakawa UV tapes)

  • Resurfacing of car and subway windows

  • Splicing 36-millimeter movie film (editing)

  • Fiber optic cable coating

  • Fiber optic cable alignment/splicing

  • Touch screen coating

  • Printing numbers on insulation wire (marking)

  • Curing inkjet printing on latex gloves

  • Finger nail polish curing

  • Bonding of heavily plasticized PVC, thermal plastics (Polycarbonate or ABS)

  • Dental appliances (Denture modifications at dentist office)

  • Dental ceramics (alumina) accelerated aging

  • Contact lens molding/forming

  • Corrosion resistant and anti-fouling coatings

  • Protective coating of plastics

  • Inspection of correct hand scrubbing techniques (When the hands are placed in the cabinet any remaining lotion will fluoresce under the ultraviolet lamp, demonstrating the flaws in the hand washing technique)

  • Curing of labels using Sony UV curable printing ribbons

  • Strobe UV synchronized to fast conveyors shows damages on the prints or other surfaces. The frequency of the strobe can be adjusted

  • Wafer polishing inspection.

  • Curing of clear plastic clamshells for consumer merchandise packaging
