UV lamps are used to cure coatings and adhesives in many
industrial manufacturing processes. And special sensors are used to measure the
intensity of the UV light applied to these surfaces. But because these sensors
age too quickly, they can only be used to record intermittent measurements.
Fraunhofer researchers have developed a new generation of sensors capable of
continuously monitoring UV intensity. These devices will be presented for the
fi rst time at the Sensor + Test trade show in Nuremberg, from May 14 to 16
(Hall 12, Booth 537).
