UV Curing Systems
SA UltraLight UV curing systems are available for flat, 3 dimensional and cylindrical products are available. UV LED integration is available. Conveyors may be optimized for your application with dozens of opitions available.
Our standard UV curing units include UV conveyorized systems for UV curing flat products and UV spin cures for curing cylindrical products (U.S. Patent number #6,397,491 B1). Our pre-engineered UV curing machines are used for UV curable inks, adhesives, and coatings.
UV Conveyor
Flat Products
The Model UVC uses the Ultra Light power supply which supplies tri-power settings of 200/300/400 WPI. Included with the Model UVC is a touch screen user interface for setting the wattage, checking your lamp life and more. The shroud and UV curtains safely cover the operator from UV light. Simple adjustments can be made for products ranging in height. All machines are manufactured & engineered at SA headquarters and can be tailored for specific processes. Heavy duty systems available for large format products.
Lamp Sizes Available:
3"(70mm), 6"(150mm), 12"(300mm), 18"(450mm), 25"(630mm), 30"(760mm), 40"(1010mm)
UV Spincure
Cylindrical Products
LED Integration Available
The Model UVSP will cure any cylindrical product without the requirement of manually changing over tooling. The Model UVSP uses the Ultra Light System which features the tri-power settings of 200/300/400 WPI as well as a user friendly touch screen control panel.Options can be included for an automatic take-off. The Model UVSP features an all mechanical Geneva drive mechanism, which is extremely easy to service (only requirement is machine oil). The Model UVSP will last you a life time. All machines are manufactured and engineered at SA headquarters and can be tailored for specific processes. Heavy duty systems available for large format products.

Light Tank uv conveyor
Heavy and large Products
Rather curing your product again, both sides are cured simultaneously. The UV light is covered by the shutter system when your product is not in the UV chamber. The Light Tank Conveyor is designed for heavy & large products. Irradiators (lamps) are placed vertically on each side of the product. Both have the capacity for a maximum output of 400 WPI. Sensors are installed for safety precautions and to automate your curing process.
Tri-Power 200/300/400 Watts Per Inch Power Supply
LAMP WAVelENGTHS
The mercury lamp has a strong output in the short wave UV range between 220 and 320 nm (nanometers) and a spike of energy in the longwave range at 365 nm. The H lamp is a good choice for clear coatings and thin ink layers and produces hard surface cures and high gloss finishes.
The addition of iron to the lamp yields a strong output in the long wave range between 350 and 400 nm while the mercury component maintains good output in the short wavelength range. The D lamp is a good choice for curing heavily pigmented inks, adhesives, and thick letdowns of clear materials.
The addition of gallium to the lamp yields a strong output in the long wave range between 400 and 450 nm. This makes the V lamp a good choice for curing white pigmented inks and base coats containing titanium dioxide which blocks most shortwave UV.
Control interface
MAIN OPERATIONAL SCREEN
- All the functions of the Ultra Light system are accessed from the touch screen control panel.
- The system consists of three modes of operation: Setup, Run and Monitor.
- The operator can switch between all modes even when the UV is in operation.
SETUP MODE SCREEN
- Setup mode is a password protected screen that allows the operator to set the delay on/off time of the blower. Multiple blowers may be configured in a system.
- The total operational hours of the lamp is displayed in a message box. The operator resets this hour meter reading when a new lamp is installed in the system.
RUN MODE SCREEN
- Different lamp power settings (200/300/400 WPI) are chosen by a simple touch of the screen.
- Status of the UV lamp as well as step by step instructions for the UV system are displayed in the message box at the lower right section of the screen. This straight forward and intuitive approach allows a novice operator to operate the Ultra Light system easily.
MONITOR MODE SCREEN
- Condition of the UV lamp, lamp current and total lamp operation hours are displayed on the monitor mode screen.

About Systematic Automation for UV Curing Systems
Systematic Automation is a pioneer in manufacturing UV curing systems, providing state-of-the-art UV curing machines and components for decades. Curing of inks, adhesives, and coatings with intense Ultraviolet light is a very effective and efficient way to speed up a final process in many parts manufacturing applications. When these coatings are exposed to UV radiation, a photochemical reaction occurs, instantly drying the outer coating with minimal shrinking, and no use of volatile chemicals.
A UV curing system provides a very consistent process compared to other drying methods where evaporation occurs. The photochemical reaction happens so quickly that part integrity is maintained, increasing the quality of your customer’s product. UV Curing provides high quality consistent results, with speed and automation giving even greater benefits with cost-saving efficient processes.
Some examples of UV curing used in commercial and industrial applications include:
- Automotive – instant drying of inks on interior automotive parts such as window buttons and dashboard labeling
- Aerospace – effective curing of parts labeling where durability and reliability are critical
- Medical – drying and disinfection is provided from UV curing processes in medical and pharmaceutical applications
- Screen printing – fast and effective curing on various products such as signs, t-shirts, mugs and pens
Systematic Automation has designed, engineered, manufactured and installed thousands of UV curing systems offering dozens of models to choose from. Our UV curing machines are manufactured with superior parts and components, providing long-lasting high performance.
