HANDcure - LED UV handheld unit for efficient curing

Mobile LED UV handset for spot and area curing
LED UV system HANDcure: mobile handset spot and area curing

The HANDcure mobile LED-UV hand-held device is typically used in the field of bonding, curing and detection. A variant of the system has been optimised for non-destructive component testing in accordance with NDT standards. The device has a spectral range from 365 nm to 415 nm and weighs in the basic version less than 1,0 kg. With HANDcure a tireless working in various manufacturing processes is ensured.

UV-curing adhesives and resins are increasingly being used in complex assembly and manufacturing solutions where controlled and efficient curing and immediate handling stability are required. Based on the battery-powered electric tools of Nürtingen’s specialist Metabo, IST has developed HANDcure.

The HANDCURE offers numerous advantages for mobile UV use: thanks to its high performance, compact construction and lightweight design, it is particularly handy and flexible in use. Wireless operation allows maximum freedom of movement, while the long service life of around 20,000 hours ensures high cost-effectiveness. In addition, the device is ready for immediate use – without any warm-up time – and operates without heat input into the substrate. With a broad emission spectrum from 365 to 415 nm and low power consumption, long operating times are guarante.

Benefits

Customized
Lightweight with good handling as well as high performance in a very compact construction.
Flexible
Wireless mobile working up to 170 min* (using a 5,2 Ah battery).
Heat management (air cooled)
Optimised air-flow and the use of a quartz-glass screen between lamp and substrate guarantees effective heatmanagent, allowing the UV system to be used with temperature-sensitive material.
Spectrum
The HANDcure contains an emission spectrum of 365 nm to 415 nm, while low power consumption and thus a long operation time.
Supplies
Standard delivery contains a HANDcure inclusively battery and charger. A quick charger and batteries with higher capacity are available on request. All components are delivered in one handy tool case.

LED UV system HANDcure: mobile handset spot and area curing

The HANDcure is used for UV curing and detection. UV materials such as lacquers, resins and adhesives are increasingly used in areas of production and repair where a high degree of efficiency and quality is required. Due to the possibility of fast, controlled curing, UV technology offers here significant advantages here. Thanks to the high performance and the wide spectral range of 365-420nm in the standard version, the HANDcure can be used for the most diverse applications. These range from car chassis repairs to the bonding of assemblies and electronics and non-destructive testing (NDT). Devices with monochromatic wavelengths for special applications are available on request.

Standard delivery contains a HANDcure inclusively battery and charger. A quick charger and batteries with higher capacity are available on request. All components are delivered in one handy tool case.
