The number and variety of applications for UV curable adhesives, coatings and inks have been increasing at a rapid pace. 'New demands on lamp systems arise from requirements for higher speeds, higher efficiency and special configurations for complex parts.

The latest developments in microwave power lamps are discussed. The benefits of stable lamp output, long bulb life and selectable output spectra have been incorporated in dramatically new lamp systems. A compact, 4 kilowatt spot source combined with special reflectors has been designed for high intensity illumination of large areas, with direct application to curing of complex solid (3D) surfaces. The performance benefits and commercial applications of these lamp systems are presented.
