UV PowerMAP® II

  • Post last modified:June 22, 2025

In the demanding world of manufacturing, precision and efficiency in UV curing processes are paramount. For industry professionals and manufacturers striving for optimal performance, understanding and accurately measuring UV light sources is crucial.

EIT 2.0’s Advanced UV Measurement Solutions

EIT 2.0 LLC, building on a legacy of over four decades in electronic manufacturing services, has been at the forefront of UV measurement technology since 1986, with over 100,000 products sold worldwide. Their UV measurement products, including radiometers and online systems, are designed to accurately assess LED, broadband, and UV germicidal sources.

Two of EIT 2.0’s flagship profiling radiometers, the UV PowerMAP® II and the LEDMAP™, offer comprehensive insights into UV curing processes. These compact, one-piece instruments are 60% smaller than their predecessors and boast an increased memory capacity for extensive data gathering.

UV PowerMAP® II: Mastering Broadband UV Sources

The EIT UV PowerMAP® II is specifically engineered to measure UV broadband sources across four distinct EIT spectral regions: UVA, UVB, UVC, and UVV. This allows manufacturers to precisely evaluate the performance of their UV curing systems, whether they utilize focused or out-of-focus lamps, and monitor associated temperature profiles.

Key features of the PowerMAP® II include:

  • Four-band measurement: UVA (320-390nm), UVB (280-320nm), UVC (250-260nm), and UVV (395-445nm).
  • Dynamic ranges: Offers both a 10 W/cm2 high range and a 100 mW/cm2 low range for versatile application.
  • Irradiance and temperature profiling: Provides detailed data on irradiance (W/cm2), energy density (J/cm2), and temperature (∘C) as a function of time.

LEDMAP™: Optimizing High-Speed LED Applications

For manufacturers leveraging UV LED technology, the EIT LEDMAP™ is the ideal solution. It is designed for measuring LED sources in high-speed applications, featuring EIT’s patented LED L-Bands. This instrument can capture numerous individual LED peaks over short intervals, providing critical data for processes such as those found in high-speed digital printers.

The LEDMAP™ boasts:

  • Targeted LED measurement: Available as single or four-band instruments specifically for UV LEDs.
  • Patented EIT L-Bands: Including L365 (340-392 nm), L385 (360-412 nm), L395 (370-422 nm), and L405 (380-432 nm).
  • High dynamic range: A 40 W/cm2 dynamic range supports a broad spectrum of LED applications.

Unlocking Data with UV PowerView Software® III

Both the PowerMAP® II and LEDMAP™ seamlessly integrate with EIT’s UV PowerView Software® III. This National Instruments LabVIEW-based program is compatible with Windows 7-10 and is essential for detailed visual and numerical analysis of collected data. The software allows for easy data transfer via USB, storing information in the .tdms file format, which can be readily shared and exported to Excel.

With UV PowerView Software® III, users can:

  • Graph by file, displaying four UV bands and temperature.
  • Analyze key metrics like power (mW/cm2) and energy (mJ/cm2) for both sample and reference files.
  • Utilize cursor functions for precise data point analysis.
  • Capture screenshots and add process notes for comprehensive record-keeping.
