Heraeus Noblelight invented microwave-powered UV curing system

Heraeus Noblelight invented microwave-powered UV curing system technology. Compared to arc lamp curing technology, it offers significant improvements in production speeds, process consistency, operating lifetimes, and reduced heat onto the substrate. Heraeus Noblelight’s easy-to-service modular design provides process flexibility with lower cost of ownership.

Microwave-Powered UV Curing Systems

Our microwave-powered UV curing system products are available in a variety of power classes and with a choice of different UV broadband wavelength output bulbs to meet your industrial curing needs. These UV curing systems easily retrofit into existing production lines or can easily integrate into new production processes. Our newest systems are Industry 4.0 ready with imbedded sensors and microprocessors.

Heraeus microwave-powered UV curing systems consist of three primary components

  1. Electrodeless bulb - long guaranteed service life of 6,000 to 8,000 hours, consistent output, available in various wavelengths so you can optimize the UV curing to your specific process needs.

  2. Lamp module - available in either 6-inch or 10-wide air-cooled modules, combined to span across any width process or position around three-dimensional parts, switch off individual modules not needed to reduce operating costs.

  3. Power supply - provides efficient operation and flexible control.

Key Features

Optimal Adjustment to the Process

Optimal Adjustment to the Process

Modular lamp head design for different curing widths or placement around three-dimensional parts, adjustable output intensity, and a variety of available bulbs to optimize curing efficiency for different manufacturing processes.

Reliable and Constant Quality

Reliable and Constant Quality

Our US manufacturing facility is ISO 9001 certified and all systems are CE, UL and TÜV compliant. Frequent on/off cycles or switching does not reduce operating lifetime - you get a long lasting system that requires less maintenance.

Cost Saving

Cost Saving

Compared to arc lamp systems, our microwave-powered UV curing systems reduce scrap rates and require less maintenance.

Optimal Adjustment to the Process

Increased Saving

With high intensities at the substrate and consistent output, plus longer life than arc lamp systems, our microwave-powered UV curing systems reduce scrap rates and downtime resulting in higher production rates.
