UV Tube for Intensity and Dose Measurements

Precision UV Curing Sensor

The UV Tube is a robust sensor designed for industrial UV curing applications, particularly in coating and printing systems for cylindrical or round objects. It accurately measures both UV dose and intensity, ensuring optimal curing performance and consistent product quality. By monitoring lamp output in real-time, the UV Tube helps operators detect aging, contamination or underperforming lamps before they affect production. Compact and easy to integrate into industrial lines, this sensor provides reliable, repeatable results, making it an essential tool for maintaining efficiency and quality in demanding UV curing processes.
