Robotics & Automation

Once the UV source or the measuring equipment moves, the dose is no longer a single reading but an integral along a path with varying distance and angle of incidence. These pages show how irradiance becomes a monitored process variable and how robot paths are designed by dose.

Measurand: irradiance as a PLC signal (4–20 mA, Ethernet, digital)

UV process integration embeds radiation sources and measurement into automated production so that the dose becomes a monitored process variable. The article describes the path from sensor signal to process release.

Measurand: dose as a path integral, irradiance versus distance and angle

UV robotics guides radiation sources or measurement with a robot – as a flange tool, as payload or by handling the part. The article shows how the dose emerges as an integral along a path with varying distance.
