New UV LED Curing Association
Integration Technology, Lumen Dynamics and Phoseon Technology have join together to form the UV LED Curing Association to address a growing need for current and potential researchers, suppliers, integrators and end users to gain a better understanding about UV LED technology and demonstrate how it can be used to achieve efficiencies.
The founders of the association will work together to help define and establish UV LED-based guidelines for UV LED curing applications. The association will also serve as a forum for fostering communication within the UV industry in order to facilitate the exchange of information and enable the entire industry to better address market needs.
“UV LED curing technology has been steadily evolving in the market for almost a decade,” said Adrian Lockwood, managing director of Integration Technology. “Its application successes continue to generate increased interest; however, industry inconsistencies in language and measurement practices as well as a general misunderstanding of the technology continue to breed confusion and delay implementation. It is the hope of the UV LED Curing Association's founders that our collaboration will promote the successful and more rapid adoption of UV LED technology across many different markets.”
“We are pleased to be collaborating with other major industry influencers to provide a forum for sharing knowledge and developing common meaningful language and guidelines about UV LED technology,” added Allan Firhoj, president and CEO of Lumen Dynamics. “In our 15 years of experience in LED curing technology, the industry has realized significant breakthroughs that have proven LEDs as a viable alternative providing substantial benefits. The UV LED Curing Association will be instrumental in helping the market gain knowledge and insight about UV LED technology and its numerous commercial benefits.”
“Phoseon Technology is a proud founder of the UV LED Curing Association,” stated Bill Cortelyou, president and CEO of Phoseon Technology. “Along with our fellow founders, Phoseon anticipates rapid growth and acceptance of UV LED curing technologies across a wide range of system manufacturers. The Association will bring together industry players to set guidelines and ensure compatibility across the industry.”
