OmniCure® UV/Visible Spot Curing Systems

In optics, radiometry is the field that studies the measurement of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. The use of radiometry in UV curing applications, involves measuring optical energy that is delivered from a UV light source such as lamps, LEDs and lasers, to the curing site. The need for control and repeatability is critical in manufacturing processes in order to achieve consistent quality and high yields.

Measurements of optical radiation require specific methods to ensure accuracy. It is essential to understand the light source (i.e. lamp, LED, laser) being used, the optical medium and the responsivity of the detector.

OmniCure® recognizes the importance of radiometry in UV curing applications and continues to develop radiometric solutions to best serve the needs of its customers. The arc-lamp based OmniCure® S2000 is recognized as the industry standard in the medical and electronics market that offers proprietary Closed-Loop Feedback technology for ensuring consistent and repeatable results. The R2000 radiometer provides an accurate broadband measuring device for arc-lamp based spot curing systems which is traceable to NIST.

Recently, LED light sources have emerged as a viable alternative to arc-lamp based systems for a number of spot curing applications. With the emergence of LED light sources in the market, the demand for accurate LED radiometry has increased. OmniCure®’s latest LED Light Meter offers the ability to accurately measure power and irradiance from an OmniCure® LED UV curing system, or any other LED UV source, directly at the cure site. The LED light meter helps ensure highest accuracy in measurements that overcomes the challenges that have been associated with the broadband calibration of conventional sensors.
