Power Puck® II Profiler/UviCure Plus® II Profiler

  • Post last modified:June 21, 2025

For manufacturers and industry professionals, precision and efficiency are paramount. In UV curing applications, accurate and consistent UV measurement is not just beneficial—it’s critical for product quality, process optimization, and ultimately, your bottom line. This is where the EIT UV Power Puck II Profiler, a cutting-edge instrument from EIT2.0 LLC, becomes an indispensable tool. 

The EIT UV Power Puck II Profiler: A Dual-Function Powerhouse

EIT’s UV Power Puck II Profiler stands out as a versatile and robust radiometer designed to meet the rigorous demands of both production and laboratory environments. It offers two distinct operational modes:

  • Display Option: For quick and easy checks on the production line, the Display Option provides immediate access to critical data such as irradiance (W/cm2), energy density (J/cm2), and a low-resolution irradiance profile directly on the instrument’s display. Its single-button operation ensures user-friendliness and efficiency in fast-paced settings. 
  • Profiler Option: When detailed analysis and troubleshooting are required, the Profiler Option truly shines. It enables the transfer of comprehensive data, including the irradiance profile (Watts as a function of time), to a computer via a USB port. This data can then be analyzed, compared, and evaluated using EIT’s UV PowerView Software® III. 

Why is Profiling Essential for UV Curing?

Beyond simple numerical readings, the profiling function offers invaluable insights into your UV curing process. The EIT UV Power Puck II Profiler, with its effective sample rate of 128 samples/second in profiler mode, allows professionals to: 

  • Identify Lamp Performance: Quickly determine the number of lamps, assess individual lamp performance, and even identify the bulb type (for Four-band Power Puck II Profilers). This helps in understanding output variations and ensuring consistent curing. 
  • Analyze Lamp Focus Conditions: Detect changes in lamp focus conditions. For instance, the software can differentiate between focused and non-focused lamps based on the irradiance profiles, such as the “twin peaks” seen with non-focused bulbs. 
  • Evaluate UV Uniformity: Monitor the uniformity of UV across the bulb length and observe how it changes over time by comparing current data to stored files. 
  • Optimize Process Speed and Exposure Time: Understand the impact of process speed and exposure time variations on your curing results. 
  • Proactive Maintenance: Identify maintenance needs before they impact product quality, saving time and resources. 

EIT UV PowerView Software® III: Your Analytical Command Center

The real power of the Profiler Option is unleashed with EIT UV PowerView Software® III. This National Instruments LabVIEW-based program, compatible with Windows 7-10, provides a comprehensive platform for data analysis and management. Key features include:

  • Compatibility: Works seamlessly with all EIT Profiling radiometers. 
  • Tracking and Comparison: Track a single UV source or an entire production line under various process conditions or over time. It also allows for the evaluation and comparison of two different source types. 
  • Detailed Analysis: Display and overlay irradiance profiles, enabling visual comparison between different runs or sources (e.g., focused vs. unfocused). 
  • Data Export: Easily transfer profiles and tables into reports and other programs, with the ability to export .tdms files into Excel for further manipulation. 
  • Information and Notes: Provides a dedicated section to add crucial information and notes to each file, enhancing data integrity and context.
