Consistent light-curing requires periodic monitoring of light intensity or dose. The ACCU-CAL™ 160 radiometer greatly simplifies both validating and monitoring a light-curing process. This radiometer is available in both UV and LED versions and can measure light up to 10 W/cm² emitted from stationary light-curing flood lamps or lamps used in conveyorized processes. It can be used to determine intensity (measured in mW/cm2) or total energy as derived from intensity and exposure time (measured in mJ/cm²). The unit is simple to operate and can be controlled manually via four buttons on the faceplate or by a USB remote interface. Measurement results are displayed on the integrated LCD display or transmitted by the USB remote interface to a computer.

Two Reasons to Use a UV Radiometer

Validating and Maintaining a Light-Curing Process – A radiometer provides a quantifiable measurement that verifies if the light-curing process is operating within the qualified parameters. Since all UV bulbs degrade over time, the radiometer will reveal the optimal time for bulb replacement in a UV-curing device. Radiometers provide the same monitoring control for light-curing processes that thermometers provide for thermal processes.

Measuring Transmission Rates Through Substrates – A radiometer can be used to measure the light transmission rates of various wavelengths through substrates that absorb various frequencies of energy. To assure an effective curing process it is critical to measure the light intensity reaching the cure site below any intervening substrate.

Radiometer Calibration: Dymax recommends calibrating the ACCU-CAL™ 160 radiometer every 12 months to ensure proper operation of the instrument. Calibration services are available at Dymax. Please contact Dymax Customer Support for more information.

The ACCU-CAL™ 50 radiometer UV intensity meter is a simple-to-operate device that measures UV-A (320-390nm) intensity and dose (energy). Degradation of UV curing bulbs, lightguides, and reflectors can significantly reduce intensity, resulting in incomplete cures.

The ACCU-CAL™ 50 allows operators to validate, monitor, and document a UV curing process. A low intensity measurement signals an operator to replace the bulb, lightguide, or reflector. The ACCU-CAL™ 50 can also be used to confirm that operators are properly shielded from UV exposure.

Consistent curing requires periodic monitoring of visible energy intensity or dose. The ACCU-CAL™ 50-LED radiometer is simple to operate and offers repeatable measurement of visible light. The ACCU-CAL 50-LED can measure visible light energy emitted from lightguides (3 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm), LED flood systems, BlueWave^® QX4^® LED heads, and line-pattern emitters.

With a spectral sensitivity from 350 to 450 nm (blue portion of the visible spectrum), the ACCU-CAL 50-LED measures intensities from 1 mW/cm² to 40 W/cm². A specially designed photo sensor assembly protects the photo sensor from the high temperatures sometimes associated with today’s high-intensity spot lamps.
