1.3 Safety First
Operation of your UV-9 Cure Module involves heat, air pressure, electrical power, mechanical devices,
and the use of hazardous materials. It is essential that every person servicing or operating the cure module
fully understands all hazards, risks, and safety precautions. Refer to Section 2 – Safety for additional
information.
WARNING! CAUTION!
Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for all fluids used with the
dispensing system. The MSDS provides material usage instructions, disposal
instructions, and safety precautions.

1.4 Documentation Provided
The UV-9 Cure Module comes with several manuals for installation and operation of major system
components and software. For some system components, you may receive Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) manuals. Generally, these OEM manuals are only needed for reference and
advanced troubleshooting. Consult only Nordson ASYMTEK manuals unless directed to do otherwise by
the manuals themselves or by Nordson ASYMTEK Technical Support.
Table 1-2 lists the manuals that may be shipped with a typical UV-9 Cure Module and describes their
usage and the intended user.

1.5 System Installation and Testing
The UV-9 Cure Module is completely installed and tested on-site by Nordson ASYMTEK Technical
Support. The system should not be moved or reinstalled by other than Nordson ASYMTEK personnel.
This ensures that the cure module is in good working order.
1.6 What is UV Curing?
Ultraviolet curing is achieved by a chemical reaction in special inks and coatings when intense UV energy
is focused on them. Curing efficiency depends on such factors as UV power, coating thickness, conveyor
speed, type of substrate, and material chemistry.
1-2 Introduction
1.7 Training
Nordson ASYMTEK offers quality training for our curing platforms, valves, software, and applications
both on and off-site. The labs at our Carlsbad, California, USA corporate location are dedicated to
providing a specialized course of instruction for our customer's specific needs. With the assortment of
tools available in our labs, we are able to provide a better learning experience overall. Students will
rebuild machine subassemblies, troubleshoot real problems, and learn a variety of setup techniques. In
addition, your machine's operability and production are not disturbed due to class usage.
1.7.1 Student Certification
Upon successful completion of the training course, the student is issued a Certificate of Completion.
1.7.2 Student Registration
Students can register for training at the Nordson ASYMTEK website www.nordsonasymtek.com or call
1-800-ASYMTEK to request information or to register for training.
1.8 Conveyor
The UV 9 Cure Module is equipped with a SMEMA-compatible chain conveyor. The conveyor consists
of a drive motor, two heat-resistant poly-acetyl chains, and two metallic rails with attached sprockets and
guides. Conveyor operation during a production run is automatic.
1.8.1 Theory of Operation
The conveyor and associated components control workpiece movement through the UV-9 Cure Module
during a production run.
Two retro-reflective sensors, mounted on the front conveyor rail near the UV-9 Cure Module entrance
and exit ports, monitor the progress of workpieces through the curing zone. Board presence is reported to
the system’s internal PLC which expects to see a workpiece enter and exit the cure module. When the
board enters the oven, a counter is started and the PLC tracks the time to reach the second sensor
(function of the distance between the 2 sensors and the speed of the conveyor). If the counter reaches the
preset count before the workpiece is sensed by the exit sensor, the
Traffic Fault LED on the operator’s
control panel illuminates, the cure module goes into
Pause mode, and the light beacon displays the red
light.
1.8.2 Set-up and Adjustment
The conveyor is configured for your particular application at the Nordson ASYMTEK factory. Any
modifications to the system set-up should be performed by trained service technicians only. Conveyor rail
width is adjustable. See Section 4 – Adjustments for detailed procedures.
