For manufacturers and industry professionals, maintaining peak performance in UV curing applications is paramount. While handheld radiometers are essential tools for spot checks, many production environments demand continuous, real-time UV intensity feedback. This is precisely where EIT's On-Line Monitoring Systems excel, offering a sophisticated and robust solution for consistent quality, optimized processes, and enhanced profitability. Beyond Handheld: Why Continuous Monitoring Matters EIT's On-Line Systems provide continuous, real-time feedback on UV intensity, a crucial advantage in situations where traditional handheld radiometers fall short: Confined Spaces: When space is limited, or arms, rollers, and blades are present, preventing easy access for a handheld device. Enclosed Sources: For UV sources that are enclosed, not easily accessed, or positioned high off the ground. Wide Production Lines: When multiple UV sources are used across a wide production line. High Production Speeds: In fast-paced environments where using a handheld radiometer is impractical. Rapid UV Changes: When UV conditions fluctuate quickly due to off-gassing or contamination. High-Value Products: For manufacturing high-value products where undetected changes in UV can lead to significant scrap levels. Tight Process Windows: When continuous validation of UV conditions is required due to a narrow process window. These systems are electro-optic based and can monitor UV from both LED and broadband (mercury) sources. Applications span across diverse industries, including web presses, fiber optic draw towers, hard drive manufacturing, print, and medical applications. The Core Components: Compact Sensor and DIN Rail Signal-Conditioning Unit EIT's On-Line System consists of two primary components designed for durability and real-time data delivery: EIT Compact Sensor: This is an exceptionally durable sensor featuring sealed optics, built to withstand harsh UV environments. Compact Sensors are available for both LED and broadband sources and can be customized in terms of optic response, housing shape, aperture size, and mounting location to suit specific UV source types and applications. An innovative optics design increases durability and reduces solarization, demonstrating very minimal degradation even after over 6,700 hours in intense high-power microwave UV systems. They are designed to remain clean and cool, with suggested installation locations including behind the reflector, below the system, or using a quartz rod for challenging areas. EIT DIN Rail Signal-Conditioning Unit: The Compact Sensor works in conjunction with the EIT DIN Rail to provide a signal (0-10 volt or 4-20 milliAmp) that is proportional to the real-time UV intensity. This signal can be tracked on a PLC or display, allowing users to monitor gradual changes like source aging or sudden equipment malfunctions, enabling proactive intervention before product quality or profitability is impacted. The DIN Rail also offers the crucial ability to set low limit alarms and/or trigger a relay closure if pre-programmed limits are exceeded, providing immediate alerts for critical deviations. For environments prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI) from equipment like high-frequency power supplies or microwave sources, EIT also offers "hardened" EMI Compact Sensors and EMI DIN Rails with additional circuitry for increased resistance to electrical noise.

For manufacturers and industry professionals, maintaining consistent quality and optimizing processes are key to success. In UV curing applications, precise and reliable UV measurement is not just a best practice; it's a fundamental requirement. EIT2.0 LLC, with its extensive experience since 1986 in UV measurement solutions, offers two exceptional instruments designed to meet these critical needs: the UviCure Plus II and the UV Power Puck II. EIT's Legacy of Excellence in UV Measurement EIT has a long-standing history of designing, manufacturing, and supporting industrial UV measurement solutions globally. Building on previous versions, the UviCure Plus II and UV Power Puck II radiometers are engineered for ease of use, enabling professionals to establish, document, maintain, and troubleshoot process windows in diverse industrial UV curing applications. Understanding the Instruments: UviCure Plus II vs. UV Power Puck II While both instruments offer robust UV measurement capabilities, they cater to slightly different needs: UviCure Plus II: The Single-Band Specialist The UviCure Plus II is a single-band radiometer, with the specific band (UVA, UVB, UVC, or UVV) selected at the time of order. EIT UVA (320-390 nm) is a popular choice for applications utilizing mercury bulbs. The instrument's display provides irradiance (W/cm2) and energy density (J/cm2) values, alongside an irradiance profile. UV Power Puck II: The Four-Band Comprehensive Monitor The UV Power Puck II is a four-band radiometer, monitoring EIT UVA (320-390 nm), UVB (280-320 nm), UVC (250-260 nm), and UVV (395-445 nm) simultaneously. This multi-band capability is crucial for identifying different bulb types (e.g., mercury-H, mercury-iron-D, mercury-gallium-V).A significant advantage of the Power Puck II is its ability to independently monitor wavelengths associated with surface cure (UVC) and through cure (UVA/UVV). This allows for advanced troubleshooting and process control: UVC:UVA Ratio: Tracking this ratio can indicate when your reflector is becoming dirty, impacting surface cure efficiency. UVA:UVV Analysis: This ratio can help determine when a mercury-gallium bulb has aged, becoming spectrally more like a standard mercury bulb. Key Features for Enhanced Control and Analysis Both the UviCure Plus II and UV Power Puck II offer a range of features designed for user convenience and detailed analysis: Easy to Use: A single button controls unit power, data collection, and display. Irradiance Graph: A visual representation of peak UV irradiance and total energy is displayed for each UV band, showing irradiance as a function of time. This graph helps visualize the number and intensity of lamps. Reference Function: Users can store a run in the instrument's memory for easy comparison with current UV conditions, facilitating consistent process monitoring. Display Options: Toggle (UviCure Plus II): Easily switch between graph and reference display screens.
