Abstract
An in-situ process-monitoring device for measuring a curing state of components coated with a UV-curable lacquer. The device includes at least one radiation source for curing the lacquer, as well as at least one signal source and at least one spectrometer for measuring radiation of the signal source reflected from the components, in order to determine the curing state. The measuring is carried out in a contactless manner, and the at least one signal source for the measuring is identical to the at least one radiation source for the curing.
Claims13
In-situ process motoring device comprising at least one radiation source, at least one signal source, and at least one spectrometer for measuring the curing state of components which are coated with a curable lacquer, characterized in that the measurement can take place without contact via spectrometers and at least one signal source for the measurement is identical to the at least one radiation source which is used for the curing of the lacquer.
