Abstract
An ultraviolet curing system separates the source of ultraviolet radiation and the controller, allowing an operator to stand at a relatively great distance away from the ultraviolet radiation when applied. The apparatus includes a base unit and a source of intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation coupled to the base unit by way of a pivoting arm. A controller, disposed remotely from the base unit, allows an operator to activate the source of UV radiation at a distance of at least several feet away from the source. The preferred embodiment allows an operator to control the UV radiation at a distance of 10 to 100 feet or more using a wired or wireless interconnection between the controller and the base unit. A detachable infrared lamp may be optionally disposed along side the UV source.
Claims6
An ultraviolet curing system, comprising:
- a base unit mounted on a mobile, rolling platform;
- a lamp housing including a source of intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation suitable for curing paint, an overcoat or other polymeric materials;
- a pivoting arm coupling the lamp housing to the base unit with multiple degrees of freedom enabling the lamp housing to be moved up and down and side-to-side for a preferred placement of the UV radiation relative to a surface to be cured;
- and
- a controller disposed remotely from the base unit allowing an operator to activate the source of UV radiation at a distance of at least several feet away from the source.
