Strong UV Radiation Sensors – UV Cure
UV-Cure – High-Intensity UV Radiation Sensor for Industrial Curing, Printing, and Photonic Process Monitoring Applications
The UV-Cure from SGLUX GmbH is a robust, high-intensity UV radiation sensor optimised for industrial curing and process-control applications.
Engineered using solar-blind Silicon Carbide (SiC) photodiode technology, it provides accurate, repeatable measurements of ultraviolet radiation across the 200–400 nm range (UVC–UVB–UVA).
Its precision linear response up to 10 W/cm² makes it suitable for UV curing systems, printing lines, and coating processes, ensuring consistent product quality and energy efficiency.
Encased in a durable, IP67-rated aluminium housing, the UV-Cure sensor is built for harsh industrial environments involving high UV flux and temperature.
Factory-calibrated and traceable to NIST/PTB standards, it ensures precise irradiance monitoring and process optimisation in UV curing, coating, and photopolymerisation systems.
When combined with SGLUX VOLTCON or SENSOR MONITOR 5.0, it becomes a complete real-time measurement solution.
Understanding Strong UV Radiation Sensors - UV Cure
The UV-Cure sensor measures high-intensity ultraviolet irradiance emitted by mercury lamps, excimer lamps, or UV-LEDs in industrial curing systems.
It converts UV light into a linear voltage output, providing real-time data for lamp performance verification, energy control, and process stability.
With solar blindness >10¹⁰, the sensor eliminates visible and infrared interference, ensuring precise UV-only measurements.
Its temperature-compensated circuitry and photostable detector maintain calibration accuracy during continuous exposure.
Compact, rugged, and traceably calibrated, the UV-Cure is ideal for automated UV curing, adhesive bonding, and coating applications demanding high reliability and precision.
