Why Use a
Radiometer
When product is passed through a curing system
and the resulting cure is satisfactory, the operator normally does not know what
UV level was required to obtain this cure.
Therefore, he may not be able to repeat this process successfully next
week or next month. With the use of
a radiometer, the operator can immediately quantify the process.
After product is cured satisfactorily, the operator exposes the
radiometer to the same process. The UV level readings are displayed on the radiometer.
Because of the data provided by the
radiometer, true process control can be achieved.
At start-up each day, the operator exposes the radiometer to the curing
process, takes readings, and observes if the readings are within his curing
parameters for a satisfactory cure for the particular product to be run.
The operator can make adjustments by changing length of exposure time,
cleaning reflectors, or even relamping in order to obtain the desired UV levels,
thereby assuring consistency in the curing process.
The radiometer quantifies the UV curing system and takes a great deal of
guesswork out of the overall curing process.
