UV-light for cleanrooms and inspection

In cleanrooms equipped with UV-A blacklight inspection, contaminants become visible under oblique light. Highcare can provide a flexible blackout area in a cleanroom. By adding UV light inspection to the quality control process in your cleanroom, you can guarantee clean parts for your customers. Ultraviolet lamps make it possible to see particles as small as 30 mu, which are invisible to the human eye. UV light inspection is useful at various points in the production process and in different setups and can save you a lot of time and effort.

This is also the experience of the assembly engineer at Maxon Motor: “The Labino BigBeam has made our production process 6 times more efficient. Besides, the low white light emission ensures that I can work for hours without my eyes getting tired.”

The human eye can detect particles as small as 50 mu under very good light conditions and at high concentrations. Clean room UV lights utilizing the BigBeam inspection system make it possible to spot particles almost half that size with minimal effort. In addition, this UV light covers a large surface area and offers a hands-free inspection method. Cleanroom UV care makes proper quality control much easier.

Pre-assembly UV inspection in the cleanroom

It is very important that parts and components are clean before they enter the cleanroom. The use of UV light before entering the room with the components reduces the risk of contamination and therefore additional loss of time due to subsequent checking and cleaning. This is especially true for products that are sensitive to contamination, it is strongly recommended to assemble these in a certified a clean space.

Blacklight UV lamps: Coating inspection on PCBs

Most Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are sealed with some kind of coating to protect them against moisture, among other things. It is very important that the coating is applied to the printed circuit board correctly, covering certain components and leaving others uncovered. All coatings are very difficult to see with the naked eye. However, the majority of coatings will fluoresce under UV light and thus become visible to the human eye.

Inspecting a printed circuit board with ultraviolet light can ensure that the coating has been applied correctly. UV light inspection is applicable to a wide range of products, from manual inspection of small parts to large installations for serial production systems. Highcare can tailor its services to your needs with the following options.
