LED Instruments | LEDCure™

Accurate, portable, and affordable LED UV measurement for industrial curing. Measures irradiance, energy density, and profile. Profiler versions offer advanced data analysis.

EIT’s LEDCure® family of UV radiometers provides highly accurate and portable measurement of UV output from industrial LED UV systems. Designed for use directly in the curing environment, the LEDCure measures irradiance (W/cm²), energy density (J/cm²), and irradiance profile, offering valuable insights into your curing processes. Featuring patented Total Measured Optic Response (TMOR™) technology, LEDCure offers absolute energy measurements with accuracy and repeatability comparable to larger, more expensive metrology-based instruments.

Unparalleled Accuracy and Repeatability:

The LEDCure’s performance is validated through rigorous testing. Comparison with a laboratory-grade integrating sphere demonstrates exceptional accuracy, with differences averaging just 0.1% and a maximum of 2.4%. Resolution is also impressive, at 3 mW (0.0075%) for a 40W unit. Matching between units is within ±0.021% of standard deviation, and repeatability is typically better than ±0.2%, ensuring consistent and reliable measurements. (See graphs for visual representation of accuracy, resolution, matching, and repeatability).

LEDCure® Standard Version: Key Features and Benefits:

  • Portable and Easy to Use: Compact and lightweight design for convenient on-site measurements.
     
  • Accurate and Reliable: TMOR™ technology ensures precise and repeatable readings.
     
  • Affordable: Cost-effective solution for accurate LED UV measurement.
     
  • Direct Measurement in Curing Environment: Measures UV output directly at the workpiece, providing real-world data.
     
  • Measures Irradiance and Energy Density: Provides both peak power and total energy information.
     

LEDCure® Profiler Versions: Advanced Data Analysis

Single and four-band profiler versions of the LEDCure are also available. These versions allow data transfer (irradiance, energy density, and irradiance profile) to EIT’s UV PowerView Software® III for advanced analysis.

 

Benefits of LEDCure® Profiler Versions:

  • Analyze Changes Over Time: Track UV output trends and identify potential issues.
  • Evaluate Individual Arrays: Assess the performance of individual LEDs within an array.
  • Compare Multi-Array Systems: Analyze and optimize multi-array UV systems.
     
  • Troubleshoot Production Lines: Identify and resolve UV-related issues on your production lines.
  • Monitor Array Height Changes: Detect variations in LED array height that can affect curing performance. 

UV PowerView Software® III:

EIT’s UV PowerView Software® III is compatible with the LEDCure Profiler versions, enabling in-depth analysis of your UV curing data.

  • Lightweight and Portable: Weighs only 0.33 ounces (9.4 grams) for easy placement and minimal interference.
  • High Sample Rate: 2048 Hz sample rate ensures accurate capture of UV exposure.
  • Multiple Dynamic Ranges: Available in UVA band with 10W, 2W, or 200mW dynamic ranges.
  • Long-Lasting Battery: Battery-powered for portability.
  • Automatic Sleep Mode: Conserves battery life by entering sleep mode if not exposed to UV within four minutes.
  • Limited Use: Each MicroCure is designed for 200 readings or one year of use, whichever comes first.

MicroCure® DataReader: Easy Data Retrieval and Display

  • Portable and User-Friendly: Compact device for communicating with and displaying data collected by the MicroCure.
  • Dual Display: Toggles between Energy Density and Irradiance values with the “SELECT” button. Displays the UV band of the MicroCure.
  • MicroCure Activation: Activates the MicroCure unit and initiates data collection with the “RESET” button.
  • Reading Counter: Displays the number of readings an individual MicroCure unit has undergone.
  • Replaceable Battery: Uses a user-changeable 9-volt battery with a low battery indicator and auto shut-off.
  • Universal Compatibility: Works with all MicroCure units.
  • Data Transfer: Data is transferred via the two case halves; avoid shorting them against metal or through handling (conductive coating, moist hands).

Applications:

The MicroCure® excels in UV applications requiring a small footprint and accurate, repeatable UV values. Ideal for:

  • Narrow Conveyor Curing: Credit card processing and similar applications.
  • Small Container Curing: Bottles, cans, tubes, and other small items.
