While the process steps in a UV LED manufacturing conversion are slightly more involved than a direct-swap mercury replacement, the benefits are often significant and well worth the time and effort.
In industrial manufacturing, companies often push the life of capital equipment in the hope of optimizing operational costs by utilizing assets that have long since been paid off. However, when the line goes down and failure ultimately occurs, companies can be left scrambling to secure the necessary replacements to resume production. When direct replacements and spare parts are standard and readily available, this practice is justifiable and cost effective. In cases where replacement items have long lead times or have become obsolete and replaced by technology that is not a drop-in solution, waiting until failure can be disastrous to a company’s bottom line.
With a focus on 3D printing, new materials, UV LEDs, and sustainability, RadTech has announced the conference program for RadTech UV+EB Technology Expo and Conference 2020, which will be held March 8-11 at the Disney Coronado Springs in Orlando, Fla.
In addition to showcasing products in the tabletop area, Sartomer representatives will give several presentations during the RadTech Europe conference.
Personnel from Sartomer, a business line of Arkema, will introduce materials solutions that reportedly advance the performance of energy-cured adhesives, 3D printing parts, inks, specialty coatings, and nail gels at RadTech Europe.
Suitable for a variety of fiber curing and coating applications, these systems reportedly utilize high-output LEDs and advanced front-end optics to achieve high-peak irradiance and exceptional uniformity for greater flexibility.
Excelitas Technologies recently announced that it will showcase its OmniCure AC series LED UV curing systems at the IWCS 2019 Cable and Connectivity Symposium.
As adhesives become more prevalent and accepted in industry, the more varied the formulations have become—and by corollary, the more diverse the curing mechanisms.
Due to the growing demand of its global business and the drive to introduce innovative new products to the UV/radiation curing market, IGM Resins recently announced that it has commenced the development of a new state-of-the-art photoinitiator production facility in Anqing, Anhui Province, China.
Excelitas Technologies® Corp. recently announced that it will highlight its latest OmniCure® LED UV curing systems in booth 204 at the Eastern Coatings Show, which will be held May 15-16 in Atlantic City, N.J.
