Applications for ultraviolet curing have evolved over time. Originally, UV was used only in printing, photo resist, and other flatline applications.
Three dimensional applications started working in the mid-eighties as more coatings, adhesives, and ink formulators developed formulas for a variety of substrates. Our original three-dimensional customers had production lines for large output items: electroplaters, vacuum metalizers, injection molders. We developed a following of industrial finishers who wanted to remove the bottlenecks of painted parts waiting to dry. We found manufacturers of perfume bottles, liquor closures, headlamp and flashlight reflectors, golf balls, and electronics. In the early nineties, we helped guitar manufacturers apply UV to their lines, and they became major players. We saw many luthiers achieve success as we helped develop the technology for genuine three dimensional ultraviolet curing.
A new direction has emerged, we have been able to modify one of our hanheld units to work as a FLOORCURE unit and still retain its original use as a hand held unit. We have done this with the addition of a floor cart. To our customers this is a very effective dual use UV FLOORCURE machine at a price that is much less than other units on the market. Performance is comparable with the cure speed of between 20-30 feet per minute using a 15 to 22" cure path dependent on the materials in use more >
