Set Intensity, Determine Exposure Time
Users can specify light intensity and, through empirical testing, determine the exposure
time required to achieve a full cure. As with any manufacturing process, it is advisable to
incorporate a safety factor.
Control
Process validation confirms a minimum acceptable intensity. Users can then choose to
operate at full intensity (using the excess intensity as an additional safety factor) or
adjust the output to a specific intensity level. To ensure consistent and repeatable
process results, intensity levels should be monitored with a radiometer. This enables
users to identify light intensity changes and take corrective action (either adjusting the
light intensity or performing maintenance).
