The use of UV curing enables coatings to be cured within seconds, significantly accelerating production processes while improving surface quality. UV curing can also be used for suitable solvent-based and solvent-free UV coatings. The cured coating layers protect metal surfaces against corrosion, abrasion and chemical influences, providing a durable, high-quality finish.
Our air-cooled UV systems are suitable for coating and curing metal and can also be used for complex components and geometries, such as those found in the automotive industry. Rapid curing of the coating enables short process times and supports a uniform and durable finish.
UV curing is used in numerous industrial applications, especially for metal components that have to fulfil high requirements in terms of durability and quality. Our UV systems are suitable for a wide range of metal substrates and are used in various industrial sectors. Typical application examples are
Steel pipes - protective coating for increased resistance
Coil coating - finishing of metal strips for industrial applications
Rim coating - high-quality coating of wheel rims
Brake discs - protection against wear and environmental influences
Diesel injection pumps - Corrosion protection for long-lasting components
Axles - Resistant surfaces for high loads
Shock absorbers - Improved durability thanks to special coating
Cardan shafts - Protection against mechanical stress and corrosion
UV curing enables the rapid curing of suitable coatings, supporting short production times and high throughput rates. Depending on the coating system used and the respective process parameters, durable surfaces with high resistance to mechanical stress, chemicals and weathering can be achieved.
As UV curing delivers the required energy directly into the curing process and does not require long heating and cooling phases, it offers process-related advantages, particularly compared with thermal processes. The actual energy balance depends on the specific application, coating system, system configuration and process parameters. Precise control of the UV output supports uniform curing – even for components with complex geometries.
