In web press applications, MicroCure¢â passes through a UV curing station
MICROCURETM RADIOMETERS
Directly affix this ultra-compact electro-optic device to almost any workpiece
to accurately measure UV dosage under normal operating conditions. With
a UV data collection instrument measuring only 1.30" by 1.0",
the MicroCure¢â is ideal for inaccessible curing environments such as web
presses, bottle printers, container decorators, and compact disc coaters.
In web press applications, MicroCure¢â passes
through a UV curing station and is removed prior to reaching the print station
location. Equipped with an adhesive-backed transport pad and pocket, the
MicroCure¢â adheres directly to any item including a web traveling vertically
and/or while traveling at high speeds. In fact, MicroCure's¢â high sampling
rate of 2000 samples/second ensures that measurements taken at rapid web
speeds will be accurate. Due to the instrument's extremely small surface
area and very low profile (only 0.25" high), MicroCure¢â can actually
travel around idler rollers. For applications not requiring adhesion, the
unit can be inserted directly into a can, cup or tube. Compact disc manufacturers
who screen and/or coat CDs can put MicroCure¢â into one of the CD "nests"
when checking UV dosage against production parameters.
MicroCure¢â is easy to use. There are no wires or connectors. Since it's
always "on", there are no switches or buttons to push. Insert
the unit into the DataReader and simply push the "Select" button
to check the UV dosage. Available in 2 models: Standard 2W/cm2 (90% intensity)
or 10W/cm2 (for heavy-duty microwave lamps).
