New Software Improves 3D UV Curing



GAITHERSBURG, MD, November 10, 2003 - Fusion UV Systems has developed a unique software package for predictive placement of the company's UV lamp systems when curing complex shapes and multi-surface 3-D objects. UVCAD(TM) is designed to optimize UV curing installations and provide real-time solutions for the UV processing of new products.

Traditional technology requiring manual estimation of UV lamp positions to cure items on a dynamic assembly line can take several weeks to optimize. With this new UVCAD technology, Fusion UV can provide accurate and optimum lamp positions in as little as two hours, ensuring adequate irradiance over the whole part and greatly reducing development cost and time.

Originally targeted toward automotive industry applications, UVCAD offers manufacturers of complex and large three-dimensional objects, where a coated surface is required, the real potential for quality improvements and cost savings.

The development of UVCAD enables Fusion UV to provide more efficient and effective UV curing solutions for industrial manufacturing applications. This further demonstrates Fusion UV's well-earned position in the marketplace as the pioneering leader in UV curing process development.

This revolutionary new addition to Fusion UV's comprehensive product family was formally introduced November 3rd at RadTech Europe 2003 in Berlin Germany.

Fusion UV Systems, Inc.®, a member company of Spectris plc, Surrey, England, is the leading worldwide supplier of ultraviolet curing systems and UV-based process solutions. The Company's UV curing systems are used in manufacturing, printing and coating applications in a broad cross-section of industries with over 35,000 installations worldwide. The Company is headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Offices are located throughout the United States, Europe, Japan and China with distributors covering 17 other countries throughout the world.
