drupa: Shine a light on UV curing
Published:  29 May, 2008

Heraeus is exhibiting its range of UV lamps, with visitors offered the opportunity to ask technical experts how the lamps can be used to improve their UV curing process. Heraeus Amba's Carolyn Harvey said: "For Heraeus Amba, a UV curing lamp is not just a lamp, it is an important part of our customers' productivity and success."

Most standard UV lamps use mercury to produce UV light at a wavelength of 360nm, which will cure most inks and coatings. Lamps can be optimised with the addition of rare earth elements, or metal halides, which alter the UV wavelength to suit specific inks or applications. Amba lamps can be matched to meet customer specifications in terms of product and process to dry inks and lacquers as quickly as possible, while ensuring there is no material damage.

Amba UV lamps are tested twice before they leave the factory and can be supplied to suit all types of equipment including screen and inkjet printing.
