Transformer
A transformer for UV curing systems is a device used to convert and control the voltage supplied to UV lamps, such as high-pressure mercury UV lamps,
metal halide lamps,or UV curing lamps in UV printing, coating, and glue curing machines.
metal halide lamps,or UV curing lamps in UV printing, coating, and glue curing machines.
The main functions of a UV curing transformer are:
1. Increasing the voltage (Step-up Voltage)
- Helping to start the UV lamp that requires high voltage at the beginning.
- Some systems use starting voltages higher than 1,000-3,000V.
2. Controlling the current.
- Preventing the UV lamp from drawing excessive current.
- Helping to extend the lifespan of the lamp.
3. Maintaining a constant power supply.
- Ensures uniform UV light intensity.
- Affects the quality of curing paints, inks, and adhesives.
