UV Meter
The UV Meter from Honle is a uv measurement device which can be used for both broad spectrum UV and LED light systems. A wide range of interchangeable sensors accommodate the measurement of various equipment types and wavelengths. Measurements can be evaluated on a PC or with a PLC via USB connection.
System Features:
- PTB-traceable results
- Wide range of sensors
- USB-port, also for battery charging
Advantages:
- Handy
- Easy to operate
- Long battery life
- UV-LED measuring head
The hand-held Honle UV-Meter measures exact data that is traceable to the German standard PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt). Different sensors cover wavelengths from 230 nm to 550 nm – UVC, UVB, UVA and VIS.
According to its wide range of interchangeable sensors the Honle UV-Meter is suitable for different manufacturing processes. Its compact surface sensors are only 14 mm high. For spot lamps various sensors are available.
A clearly arranged displays shows all modes of operation of this handy uv measuring unit, as well as the measured data (in mW/cm2, W/cm2 or W/m2). An intuitive operational concept by keypad, including short-cut keys for the most important functions, provide highest possible user comfort. Alternatively, measurements can be carried out by PLC control. The Honle UV-Meter offers automatic sensor recognition.
The batteries can be charged via USB and – thanks to lithium-ion technology – have a very long service life. Two-channel measuring for different wavelength ranges can be recorded at the same time.
Application Ranges:
- for UV / UV-LED curing of inks and coatings
- for UV / UV-LED curing of adhesives and potting compounds
- for surface sterilisation via UVC radiation
Documented Measurement Data
With the measured data storage it is possible to record a test series of intensity and dose. In addition, the minimum, maximum and average intensity is retained during measuring activity. The integrated real-time clock in the Honle UV-Meter ensures precise timed sampling of measured results. The measurements can be evaluated on the PC or with a PLC via USB connection.
Advantages:
- Cost Saving – a single UV meter for all applications
- Measuring Accuracy – the UV-Meter is traceable to PTB standards
- Process Reliability – constant control of UV-intensity ensures a consistent quality of UV curing and -drying
- Certificated – reliable calibration with certificate
