It’s moving, it’s hot, and you’ve got thin components that can’t take a beating. So we lean on a hybrid setup—infrared heating paired with UV curing. It’s about hitting the right cure profile fast, without turning delicate parts into pretzels. The real question? Which UV lamp makes the most sense for your chemistry and your line speed: mercury or metal halide?</p>
