When using UV cureable inks, coatings and materials it is vital to know the material sees the correct level of UV in order to cure properly. We have many types of UV measurement radiometers, detectors and measurement labels suitable for all types of UV lamps suitable for different applications and requirements.
Changes in UV output by lamps used for curing inks, coatings and adhesives tend to occur gradually. UV lamps degrading cause product failures, inconsistent curing and impacts production.
Some UV production variables may change drastically while others deteriorate over time. When an unacceptable decrease in lamp energy is observed, these variables should be checked individually until the cause is positively identified and corrected. Where critical process parameters are required for UV cure processes, a radiometer can ensure your process remains consistent by accurately measuring the lamp output.
We have lots of different types of Radiometers available for all types of applications. If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us where we will be able to help narrow down the options and to find the most suitable units for your needs.
The easiest way to verify your UV process is working is using our UV Intensity and Fastcheck Strips. The self-adhesive labels are a quick and simple way to monitor your production. The UV Intensity labels allow you to create your own set of 'good' control labels where your process is known to work. Check your subsequent production labels against this good set. As lamps degrade over time, the colour change will lessen - indicating your lamps are not working as well. We have a UV-C specific intentsity label.
The Fastcheck Strips work in a similar way to the UV Intensity labels except they come with an exposure chart to give you an aproximate UV exposure level.
Radiometers suitable for use in conveyor belt UV curing systems. These units are used where access is limited or you want to track exposure through a conveyor style curing system.
Capable of measuring either single or multiple bands of UV simultaneously:
UV-A, UV-B, UV-C, UV-V.
Compact sensor radiometers are used where limited space difficult to access UV curing or UV exposed environments need to me measured or monitored. Compact UV sensors make it possible to measure UV Dose even in most confined UV curing units. Most of these compact sensor radiometers consists of two parts. A hand-held base unit with a display and a separate UV sensor that plugs into the base to take a reading.

The Microcure Radiometer is a compact, electro-optic sensor that can be attached to almost any workpiece for accurately measuring UV dosage.
The system comprises of two components – the compact sensor and the DataReader which allows measurement of the UV dose on the built in screen.
The UV data collection sensor measures 1.30" (33 mm) by 1.0" (25 mm). This makes the MicroCure ideal for difficult and normally inaccessible curing environments. Perfect for use on web presses, bottle printers, container decorators, and compact disc coaters.

Cabled Detector Radiometers for UV Lamp Intensity Measurement. We have several different cabled detector radiometers available. The Silverline and Versaprobe Radiometers listed below are our most popular models.
Both these units are compact, self contained units that have rechargeable batteries and sensors attached to a cable on the unit. Available in a range of different wavelengths (UVa, UVB, UVC and UVV).

Profiling pradiometers allow you to track more than just UV exposure. Using software, you can create and track a profile of your entire UV curing system as well as temperature and UV dose.
The UV-DATALOGGER USB is a small, self-contained, high quality UV monitoring instrument for long-term data recording. Perfect for water purification applications.
Capable of wireless data acquisition and can run for up to 3 months. Features a high sampling rate (up to 1/s). 5 different UV-bands available.
The CON-TROL-CURE® R3 PROBE UV RADIOMETER is an affordable electro-optic UV measuring instrument. It is battery-operated, portable, extremely light-weight, and easy to use. It is designed to measure and display peak UV intensity in hard-to-reach curing chambers (such as narrow web presses) in order to evaluate system performance. With the increasing use of narrow web presses and flexo printing technology, it has become necessary to create a method for measuring system performance. Degradation of UV lamps and parts can cause decreases in lamp output and create curing problems.
SOLAR SERIES RADIOMETERS are 3 palm-sized precision instruments measure UV light for a variety of applications.
Solar 5.0 measures total UV-A and UV-B (280-400nm) and is ideal for evaluating UV lamp intensity during its life span.
Solar 6.0 measures UV-B (280-320nm) and is ideal for determining lamp UV-B intensity and acrylic transmission.
Solar 6.5 measures environmental (outdoor) solar intensity (290-400nm, peaking between 297-310nm) and provides LCD readout in mW/m² SUV/25 (the WMO international standard for displaying erythemally weighted irradiance on a 1-15 scale).
