UV Curing systems are recognized for fast and effective results with several commercial and industrial applications. UV technology is utilized for curing outer coatings such as inks, adhesives and coatings in several processes including screen printing and parts manufacturing. Screen printers utilize UV curing to quickly cure specialty inks for instant drying with consistent results. UV cured inks provide a more consistent process than inks that require drying, as evaporation can result in inconsistencies. UV inks are known for quick drying with vibrant colors, producing higher throughput with increased quality.
UV inks can be used on a variety of substrates including paper, wood, and metal for effective treatment in use with horizontal or cylindrical screen printing machines. When combined with an automated screen printing process, UV curing can increase throughput providing a quick return on investment. Parts manufacturers utilize the power of UV curing systems in Automotive and Aerospace industries. Treating parts with UV technology causes a photochemical reaction in certain polymers, creating a toughened material resistant to corrosion, breakage or weakness from exposure to elements. Treating knobs or buttons with UV curing provides seals in printed text on visual parts and provides a scratch resistant surface.

There are many benefits that UV curing offers to several industries to improve product appearance and performance. Ultraviolet radiation causes a photochemical reaction to various polymers and inks, and has been used to enhance several commercial and industrial processes since the 1980’s. Modern UV Curing machines offer many advantages to companies and OEMs around the world with fast and efficient parts processing.
UV Curing is Fast and Efficient One of the biggest advantages of UV curing is the speed in which it cures the material, inks or adhesives during production processing. UV Curing screen printing machines are revolutionizing the printing industry with quick drying of printed products resulting in fast and efficient production. High Quality Results with UV Curing UV curing provides many advancements in the quality of printed products, and part finishing processes. UV cured inks dry in seconds as opposed to solvent based inks that dry by forced air drying systems or evaporation. Air drying can cause inconsistencies in the finished product due to the effects of evaporation, whereas UV Curing systems offer a consistently high-quality process. UV inks often retain their vibrant color longer than solvent inks, providing long lasting, durable products. Solutions for UV Curing of Flat, Cylindrical or Three-Dimensional Products Systematic Automation offers solutions to companies performing UV Curing processes, with various machines to cure flat, cylindrical or three-dimensional products.

There are many instances in which a heated vacuum table would be beneficial, or even necessary. A vacuum table that provides consistent heating in one process may be beneficial for applications that involve curing composite components or debulking for compaction and removal of any trapped air.
Heated vacuum tables can also be used to manufacture thin layers of film or lacquer. Combining heat with precision flatness of +/- .001”, your vacuum table will provide superior performance for foils, panels or several other flat surfaces. Heated vacuum chuck systems with simple temperature controls and even distribution of heat give manufacturers control over their process with user friendly adjustable processes. Systematic Automation Manufactures Heated Vacuum Tables Systematic Automation manufactured one of the very first heated vacuum tables, with uniform heat distribution and vacuum suction with adjustable analog heat controls reaching temperatures over 500° F. All of our vacuum tables provide superior flatness at +/- .001” flatness, Inline adjustable vacuum gates provide adjustable vacuum suction in addition to adjustable heat controls. Systematic Automation manufactures vacuum tables in a wide variety of standard sizes with custom sizes available.

Automated cutting systems typically use vacuum tables when cutting most types of fabric to hold the fabric firmly in place for accurate cutting. Plotting and cutting systems use heavy duty vacuum pumps to ensure that your desired cut is what you get, with consistent accuracy. Vacuum pumps can be designed to work in separate zones when required, activating specific areas of the table with vacuum pressure.
Some fabrics may need a sacrificial layer to help hold the fabric while cutting, then discarded after the cutting is complete. These layers may consist of polypropylene, PVC, Porex or a high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This sacrificial layer is designed with your table to not reduce any suction. Most plotter and cutter systems will have a rotary blade that is 28mm in diameter to easily cut fabric without pushing it downward. This allows for the blade to have minimal contact with the vacuum table, which can extend the life of the sacrificial layer. For a sturdy material, you may need carbide blades to cut through something like carbon fiber. Typically, plotter cutter systems are used for cutting canvas in industries manufacturing large pieces of cut fabrics such as boat sails and require only the standard blade. Systematic Automation Provides Superior Vacuum Cutting Systems Systematic Automation is a world leading manufacturer of vacuum chuck systems in any size imaginable with distinct types of pumps to accommodate your unique process. Our vacuum chuck systems are custom designed to fit your plotting and cutting system, with sizes from 5’ x 6’ all the way up to 72’ x 144’.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is used in many applications to instantly cure or dry inks, coatings and adhesives. When UV light is exposed to these coatings, a photochemical reaction takes place, drying the coating very quickly, creating a strong outer bond. UV curing is used in many manufacturing processes as a very efficient way to speed up printing, drying and curing applications.
Instant Results with UV Curing Because the UV light creates the photochemical reaction so quickly, the inks or coatings dry evenly and without loss of volume due to evaporation. This improves the quality of the process, creating consistent products, whether used in screen printing or critical parts manufacturing for industrial purposes. UV Curing Improves Efficiencies If one of your continual improvement goals is to become more efficient, utilizing a UV curing process where printing, drying or curing is required will add valuable time saving efficiencies. UV Curing of outer coatings can occur instantly, in a matter of seconds. Compared to air or heat drying of inks, or spraying parts or units with chemicals, the UV process is much faster and requires no use of volatile chemicals.
