The increasing popularity of UV cure materials, from potting compounds through adhesives to protective coatings in high technology manufacturing, brings into focus the importance of reliable, regular calibration of the UV light sources involved, which is where the ACCU-CAL 150 simplifies both validation and monitoring.
The use of radiometers in application processes is understood to be critical – initially in the establishment of process parameters and then to ensure that performance is maintained within the required limits. The radiometer thus facilitates readjustment of the light source as degradation takes place over its service lifetime, so as to ensure consistent high levels of production quality with reduced scrappage and improved rates of throughput.
