In today’s competitive manufacturing landscape, the efficiency and reliability of UV LED curing processes are vital. For manufacturers and industry professionals, accurate measurement of UV LED sources is not just a best practice—it’s a necessity for ensuring product quality and optimizing production. This is where the specialized UV measurement instruments from EIT 2.0, coupled with the dedicated support of authorized distributors like Blaze, provide an unparalleled advantage.
EIT 2.0’s LEDCure® Profiler: Tailored for UV LED Applications
EIT 2.0 LLC, a leader in UV measurement since 1986, offers the LEDCure® Profiler and LEDCure® Profiler Four Band radiometers, specifically designed to meet the unique demands of UV LED curing. These instruments offer dual functionality: a display option for quick, at-a-glance readings in production environments, and a comprehensive profiler option for detailed analysis in lab, R&D, or field service settings.
The LEDCure® Profiler series stands out with its ability to provide both irradiance (W/cm2) and energy density (J/cm2) values directly on the display, alongside a low-resolution irradiance profile. For in-depth analysis, the profiler function allows for data transfer to EIT’s UV PowerView Software® III.
Key benefits of the LEDCure® Profiler include:
- Easy-to-use single button operation: Streamlines data collection in busy production or lab environments.
- Versatile data display: Shows all critical values directly on the instrument’s screen.
- Detailed profiling capabilities: Enables transfer of numerical values and irradiance profiles for further analysis.
- User-adjustable sample rates: Data can be viewed on the display at 25, 128, or 2048 Hz, with profiling data transferring at a fixed 128 Hz for optimal matching with the PowerView Software® III.
LEDCure® Profiler Four Band: Comprehensive LED Wavelength Measurement
For manufacturers, formulators, R&D labs, and field service technicians who routinely work with multiple LED wavelengths, the LEDCure® Profiler Four Band is an indispensable tool. This single portable unit integrates all four EIT L-Bands (L-365, L-385, L-395, and L-405), each with a dynamic range of 40 W/cm2.
The Four Band model ensures accurate and repeatable UV LED measurements through EIT’s patented Total Measured Optical Response (TMOR™), which incorporates all optics into the instrument’s response. Each L-Band is narrow, with a Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) response of 52 nm±2 nm , ensuring precise measurements in the specific band of interest. Calibration of each individual L-Band to its respective LED type (e.g., L-365 band calibrated to a 365 nm LED) further enhances accuracy.
It’s crucial for users to note that when using the LEDCure® Profiler Four Band, only the values from the EIT L-Band that matches the source type should be counted, rather than summing L-Band values to get a ‘total LED energy’.
Advanced Analysis with EIT UV PowerView Software® III
Both LEDCure Profiler versions are designed to work seamlessly with EIT UV PowerView Software® III. This LabVIEW-based program facilitates comprehensive data analysis, comparison, and evaluation of various curing parameters. The software allows users to characterize different sources, cure conditions, and multiple LED arrays, helping to identify changes in LED lamp intensity, variations in process speed, and exposure time.
With PowerView Software® III, professionals can:
- Download data via USB: Collected data is stored in LabVIEW-based *.tdms files, easily shared and exportable to Excel.
- Analyze performance: Understand the performance of individual sources in multi-array systems.
- Proactively address issues: Identify changes and maintenance needs before they impact product quality.
- Enhance reporting: Easily transfer screenshots, profiles, and data tables into reports and other programs.
