"THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM FOR FOR CURING"

WHO ARE HOENLE?

Hoenle are UV specialists, being one of the leading suppliers of industrial UV technologies worldwide. They develop, manufacture, and market UV and LED technologies to meet customer requirements, including adhesive systems, handheld UV equipment, curing chambers, LED-UV equipment, measuring devices, lamps, sensors, and more.

WHAT IS UV TECHNOLOGY?

UV technology is a solution for efficient drying and curing in various applications. By using UV radiation in the wavelength range of approximately 200 to 480 nm, adhesives, varnishes, and coatings can be fully cured within seconds. A typical UV system consists of a lamp, reflectors, lamp housing, cooling system, and electronic control and regulation components.

WHY USE UV TECHNOLOGY?

UV technology offers significant advantages over traditional curing methods including faster processing speeds, room temperature operation, precise dose control, seamless
integration with automated production lines, and cost effectiveness by reducing operating expenses and increasing productivity.

MEDICAL

The medical industry utilises UV technology for manufacturing critical devices where biocompatibility, sterility, and precision are paramount. UV equipment effectively cures biocompatible adhesives specifically formulated for medical applications. Additionally, UV systems maintain sterile conditions through enclosed curing chambers, creating controlled atmospheres and precise delivery.

Medical UV applications include needle bonding, optical devices, and precision bonding on delicate components.

AUTOMOTIVE

The automotive industry uses UV technology for high-speed, highvolume manufacturing where precision and durability are essential. UV technology can be utilised in headlights to bond lenses to housings, as well as sealing gaskets without thermal stress. It’s also ideal for production lines to ensure uniform coverage across body parts, trim pieces, and interior components.

UV systems seamless integrate with automotive assembly lines through automated conveyor systems, robotic positioning, and PLC controls that synchronize UV exposure with production timing. Automotive UV applications include headlights, body panelling and paint, liquid gaskets, and repairs.

OPTICAL

The optics and glass industry relies on UV technology for its ability to create strong, optical bonds and is ideal for critical areas where lenses and optical elements must be joined with extreme accuracy.

UV systems effectively handle curved and irregular optical surfaces, and can be conformed to complex geometries, ensuring a uniform cure.

Maintains the dimensional
stability and optical clarity
essential in applications ranging
from camera lenses and
microscope objectives to
telecommunication components
and laser optics.

ELECTRICAL

The electronics industry utilises UV technology for precision bonding and rapid, low temperature curing, essential for high volume electronics manufacturing UV equipment generates minimal heat, making it ideal for curing conformal coatings and adhesives on heat sensitive electronic components, and the ability to instantly cure helps to protect PCBs from moisture and dust ingress.

Electronic UV applications include PCBs, touch screens, sensors, modules, and fibre optic cables.

CONVENTIONAL UV TECHNOLOGY

 Conventional UV technology is a proven solution for efficient drying and curing in various applications. By using UV radiation in the wavelength range, approximately 200 to 480 nm, inks, varnishes, and coatings can be fully cured within seconds. A typical UV system consists of a lamp, reflectors, lamp housing, cooling system, and electronic control and regulation components. The precise coordination of these elements means systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing production processes. Hoenle offers a comprehensive line of traditional UV systems, units and lamps ideal for curing adhesives and sealants, including Bluepoint 4 and Bluepoint 4 Ecocure.

LED-UV TECHNOLOGY

LED-UV technology is applied for final curing inks, varnishes and silicones as well as for bonding, curing and fixing UV adhesives and casting compounds. Hoenle LED curing equipment offers unique features include intensity output control, multi-cycle programmability, and RS232 interface for external programming and operation. Most Hoenle power supplies will drive multiple LED heads that can be programmed for sequential or independent actuation. LED curing requires no warm-up or cool-down periods during operation, providing instant on/off process control.

CURING CHAMBERS

UV curing chambers are ideal for a variety of bonding, curing and drying applications. UV reflective plates in the curing chamber ensure homogeneity on the irradiated surface for reliable and repeatable UV emission. Hoenle’s UV curing chambers are suitable for use in the laboratory or for manual production. The safety system of the curing chambers reliably protects personnel from UV radiation. Additionally, if the door is opened during operation, the UV light switches off immediately.

HANDHELD CURING EQUIPMENT

 Handheld UV curing equipment is designed for assembly applications involving UV curable adhesives, coatings, and sealants. High intensity, portability, and reliability make this UV equipment ideal for R&D laboratories and manual workstations. 

The UVAHAND provides wide area curing while the LED Pen delivers high intensity focused curing. Applications include acrylic and glass panel assembly, wire tacking, UV masking, and fluorescent inspection.

UV MEASURING UNITS

UV measurement equipment is essential for ensuring process reliability and maintaining high standards in quality assurance. By continuously monitoring UV intensity, dose and spectrum, even minor variations are detected immediately.

The UV Meter from Hoenle is a handy uv measurement device which can be used for both broad spectrum UV and LED light systems. A wide range of interchangeable sensors accommodate the measurement of various equipment types and wavelengths. Measurements can be evaluated on a PC or with a PLC.

INDUSTRIAL ADHESIVES

Hoenle offer a comprehensive range of special-purpose industrial adhesives for use in many industrial applications, ranging from UV adhesives, structural adhesives to conductive adhesives and cyanoacrylates. All adhesives and UV equipment can be individually tailored to your requirements to ensure rapid bonding of maximum quality. Theair adhesive ranges include: Vitralit, Structalit, Elecolit, and Cyanolit.
