Decreasing coating cycle times now require hardening times to be shorter. This can be

achieved through the use of a UV curing system. Rehm Thermal Systems has responded to

this trend by developing the new RDS UV, a compact dryer designed specically for hard-

ening UV coatings and adhesives. UV coatings do not contain any solvents, which means

that they are particularly easy to work with and environmentally friendly. UV coatings are

becoming more frequently used as corrosion protection for musical instruments, electronic

components in the automotive industry as well as the cosmetic and household electronics

industries. With the RDS UV, Rehm offers a flexible and reliable drying system that causes

UV coatings to harden within seconds. Thanks to its adjustable exhaust flow rate and short

heating phase, the system is immediately ready for use after switching it on and much more

energy-efcient than other comparable systems. By using a higher coating thickness, you can

ensure the highest level of protection for your circuit boards and achieve the highest quality

possible.

Technical details

Overview of the RDS UV

The RDS UV system can be equipped with different lamps

to suit the customer’s requirements. The following lamps

are available: medium-pressure undoped mercury lamps,

doped UV lamps, UV LED arrays, and special lamps that

emit specic light spectrums. Lamps can be installed above

and/or below the conveyor. Depending on the required con-

veyor width, the system can also be equipped with lamps

of different lengths. This offers the highest possible level of

flexibility and makes production efcient and cost-effective.

The standard RDS UV system is equipped with medium-

pressure undoped mercury lamps. The lamps have a lifespan

of over 8,000 hours. The distance between the conveyor and

the lamps can be freely adjusted from 50 mm to 100 mm.

› High power desity

› Suitable for continuous operation

› Low energy consumption in standby mode

› Quick start-up from standby mode

Transport

Three-part transport for high throughput

The standard RDS UV system is equipped with a pin-chain

conveyor system. The conveyor system can be adjusted to

suit your components, regardless of the geometry of circuit

boards. The conveyor’s tracks and speed are also fully

adjustable. The three-part transport enables a higher

throughput, as the running direction parallel to the lamp

allows double the speed.
