In-Line Equipment Innovation Ensures Full Cure of Light Cure Adhesives

摘要

Light cure adhesives have become the assembly method of choice in high volume, automated manufacturing lines. They cure in seconds on exposure to UV or visible light wavelengths in the 200nm to 500nm range, offer infinite open times, and allow manufacturers to reposition parts as necessary before cure begins. These adhesives adhere to many substrates including glass, metals, and a wide range of plastics. Light cure adhesives process rapidly, cure on demand, dispense easily without mixing, and fill gaps larger than 0.5 inches.
