UV system control of exposure

Following the application of the adhesive, the material generally runs beneath a bank of UV lamps.  This is where the cross-linking of the adhesive happens.  

During the curing process, it is important that the adhesive receives the correct UV dosage.  This is normally measured in millijoules per square centimeter (mJ/ cm2).

UV lamp systems monitor their output and increase or decrease the power output proportionally to the web speed which ensures the correct curing of the adhesive.
