BIG IDEAS for UV+EB Technology, taking place March 7-8, 2023, at the Wyndham Bayside in San Diego, California, focuses on what it considers to be the BIG IDEAS in the global space for UV+EB technology.
Excelitas Technologies® Corp., an industrial technology manufacturer, is introducing new LED technologies and curing systems for OEM applications, across a wide range of industries.
The OmniCure® AC8150P-HD, AC8225P-HD, and AC8300P-HD air-cooled models are designed with a patented technology that enables uniformity of output across the irradiation area, delivering a high optical dose.
Offering reduced process times, higher throughput, lower rejection rates, and environment-friendly benefits, UV curing systems are helping to revolutionize lithium-ion battery manufacturing.
Electric vehicles (EV) and lithium-ion batteries are transforming transportation and energy storage sectors with higher efficiencies, zero emissions, reduced noise pollution, and low operating costs.
Whether using a silicone adhesive in an aerospace assembly or manufacturing silicone bakeware, post-cure for silicone is not a process that belongs in the past.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may find that post-curing can bring value to certain applications. To determine if post-cure is the best option, it’s important to better understand what is happening during the process, the advantages it offers, and key best practices.
Self-adhering flashing tapes work in concert with products like roof underlayment and water-resistive barriers (commonly called housewrap) to help ensure that a structure’s building envelope can maintain the desired interior environment while providing protection from elements outside. To that end, flashing tapes effectively serve as gaskets that are used around the fenestration, air vents, and pipe penetrations that are common culprits for moisture ingress and air movement.
American Ultraviolet has introduced a new mini UV LED conveyor system that is reportedly ideal for curing inks, coatings, and adhesives, including heat-sensitive films.
Newly developed UV-activated, dual-cure silicones can protect sensors in autonomous vehicles from the heat, cold, moisture, and stress that result from the rigors of the automotive environment.

Automobile manufacturers have identified approximately 200 sensor areas around the vehicle that will be instrumental in achieving commercialization and meeting safety goals for autonomous vehicles. The main commonality is the need to protectively seal these key sensor platform areas from the heat, cold, moisture, and stress that result from the rigors of the automotive environment.
