A detailed introduction to the EIT Power Puck II and UVICURE Plus II from the USA
Many major manufacturers both at home and abroad have experience of purchasing EIT ultraviolet irradiance meters from the US, particularly Power Puck II and UVICURE Plus IIThese two models are the most widely used in China.
The Power Puck II is capable of simultaneously detecting four UV wavelength bands; it is also known as a four-channel energy meter.
UVICURE Plus II is designed to measure a single wavelength band; it is also known as a single-channel energy meter.
In 2022, due to a shortage of sensors, lead times from original manufacturers became increasingly lengthy, extending from 15 days to 7 weeks. Shenzhen Deshengxing Electronics Co., Ltd. maintains a stock of the two models mentioned above to ensure the smooth operation of production at major manufacturers.
Below is a detailed overview of the differences and features of the EIT Power Puck II and the UVICURE Plus II.
Applications:
• Ideal for all UV-curing applications, including inks, adhesives, coatings and resins
• Establish the optimum conditions for UV curing, then monitor and maintain production under those conditions
• There are three different measurement ranges:
· Standard version (high power) 100 mW–10 W/cm²; UVC 10 mW–1 W/cm²
· Medium-range version: 10 mW–1 W/cm²; UVC: 1 mW–100 mW/cm²
· Low-power versions: 1 mW–100 mW/cm²
Features:
• The Power Puck II measures four different UV bands simultaneously
• Uvicure Plus II is a single-band UV energy meter (select UVA, UVB, UVC or UVV at the time of purchase)
• Sturdy, easy to use, powered by replaceable AAA batteries
• Allows users to set the display mode to data screen mode, graph screen mode or reference mode, with a choice of different units and instrument sampling rates
• Does it feature both a broadband light source and a 395-nanometre light source? The Power Puck II can be ordered in the LED CURE version.
Which type of energy meter is best suited to my needs?
PowerMap II offers:
• High-resolution analysis, with a sampling rate of up to 2048 per second
• Thermocouples can be used in temperature-sensitive applications
The Power Puck II Profiler and the Uvicure Plus II Profiler offer:
• The ability to analyse UV radiation graphs on a computer and to monitor key UV radiation parameters displayed on the instrument
• A sampling rate of 128 per second is sufficiently fast for most industrial UV curing applications
The Power Puck II and Uvicure Plus II offer:
• Easy-to-use UV measurement solutions and display of key parameters
• Can be upgraded to the Profiler’s graphical analysis features
