curelog - Simple, precise!

The curelog is a compact radiometer with dose measurement for up to four spectral ranges. It records irradiance and dose in UV belt systems, on spot and area emitters, fibre optics and UV/VIS LEDs – in lacquer curing, bonding, disinfection and lithography. Four 24-bit ADCs work simultaneously at a resolution of 0.0001 mW/cm² and a measuring range of 50 W/cm², so different lamp types can be compared directly. The recording rate reaches 2000 Hz for fast belt systems, the recording time 180 hours for slow low-dose processes.

The display directly shows maximum irradiance and dose. A further application is the adjustment and focusing of the reflector in UV systems. Due to its small dimensions, the curelog can be placed on most objects / surfaces and records the irradiance with pinpoint accuracy.

With the curelog software, measurements can be analyzed, exported and compared. Previously stored reference measurements can be read in and superimposed in a time-synchronous manner. So, changes in the irradiation belt profile, i.e. irradiance over time, are visible. Errors that occur over time, such as dirty reflectors, are reliably and easily detected.

With the curelog DOCK we offer a base station for PLC connection. The peak irradiance and dose are transmitted directly to the PLC. If these are in tolerance, the measurement can be deleted and if not, the measurement can be evaluated with the PC software.
The curelog spectral ranges do not overlap, so crosstalk is not possible. Regardless of whether you use low powered UVC disinfection lamps, high intensity mercury / xenon lamps or LEDs for bonding or medium pressure lamps for UV curing, with the curelog you always measure accurately and reproducibly.

Highlights:

  • Multi-channel radiometer with dose measurement
  • Cordless and battery operated
  • 24-bit precision ADC
  • Low height of only 14 mm
  • Up to 180 h recording time
  • Up to 2000 Hz data storage rate
  • Software for measurement comparisons
  • Docking station for PLC integration (RS485 & RS232)

For optimal measurement results, we deliver the curelog in three versions:

  • The curelog BASE measures one spectral range, peak irradiance and radiation dose. Curelog BASE has no recoding
    The curelog BASE is a version that measures one spectral range and records irradiance vs. time profiles.
  • The curelog LED is adapted for LED measurements at the wavelengths 365 nm, 385 nm, 395 nm, 405 nm and 450 nm. The curelog LED also records UV radiation.
  • The curelog PRO measures and records UVA, UVB, UVC and VISB according to the international CIE classification.

Experience the curelog as an interactive 3D model

Rotate the housing, read the display and try out the recessed button – just like on the real device.

The curelog can be viewed from all sides in the 3D product viewer – true to the original, generated from the CAD design data. A click on the button at the side wakes the display and shows the readings for UVA, UVB, UVC and VIS, just as on the real device.

Spectral ranges of curelog Dose meter

On the PC, measurements can be displayed, evaluated, compared and exported. By time synconization and comparing the measured data, changes in irradiance can simply be seen. The date and time of each measurement are saved.

Settings:

  • Data storage rate & trigger threshold
  • Measuring time from approx. 5 s to 180 hours
     

Data export:

  • Measurements with irradiance profile & dose
  • Measurement parameters, date/time, duration

Radiometer vs. spectral radiometer

The curelog is a radiometric measuring device. With this measuring principle the irradiance is recorded for each spectral range by filtering and a photodiode. The filters and photodiodes are robust and the measurements are very well reproducible. However, the filtered radiometers cannot detect changes in the spectrum.
Our spectroradiometer like the UVpad are suitable for this purpose. In the UVpad, the light is spectrally decomposed and measured with 512 photodiodes. Due to the high spectral resolution, measurements of all lamps / LEDs are possible without errors. The curelog is subject to an error called „spectral mismatch“. Please contact us to discuss the calibration of the curelog. The curelogs have the advantage of a larger dynamic range and measure faster.
The comparison should help you to choose the right measuring device.
