ACCU-CAL 160 Radiometer Simplifies UV/LED Light-Curing

Dec. 21, 2016
ACCU-CAL 160 radiometer simplifies the validation and monitoring of UV or LED light-curing up to 10 w/cm2.

ACCU-CAL 160 radiometer simplifies the validation and monitoring of UV or LED light-curing up to 10 w/cm2 emitted from stationary light-curing flood lamps or lamps used in conveyorized processes.

 

It provides a quantifiable measurement that verifies if the light-curing process is operating within qualified parameters, to reveal the optimal time for bulb replacement for a UV-light curing device. Compared to the ACCU-CAL 150, the 160 has a longer calibration cycle of 12 months instead of 6 and is calibrated by Dymax facilities in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

 

Radiometers establish process parameters and, when maintained, help ensure consistent production quality resulting in reduced scrap and increased throughput.
