To stabilize product yield and control curing processes, leading domestic adhesive product manufacturers urgently required UV power online monitoring instruments compatible with their proprietary coating line monitoring systems, ultimately selecting the Speedre TS180 UV online monitoring probe. During the selection phase, customers had compared various UV online monitoring probes available in the industry; however, existing market solutions could not achieve centralized real-time data synchronization across all monitoring points when multiple channels were networked on an industrial control terminal interface. The TS180 is paired with proprietary monitoring software that enables simultaneous multi-channel acquisition and visual presentation of UV power curves and qualification status at each point, perfectly meeting integrated production line control requirements and becoming the decisive factor in the customer's selection.
Ⅰ.Deeply understand your needs and jointly finalize a customized solution
This client specializes in the research, development, production, and sales of industrial-grade adhesive materials, electronic-grade adhesive materials, and functional film materials, and operates a mature precision coating production line. To evaluate the feasibility of the TS180 system, the client visited Speedre specifically for technical discussions. Speedre demonstrated the practical performance of multiple TS180 units operating in networked configuration, covering everything from data synchronization to centralized interface display, thereby verifying each core function module of the supporting software and alleviating the client's concerns regarding multi-point centralized monitoring. During the meeting, the client provided detailed information about the layout specifications of the coating production line and clarified the expected usage scenarios and installation requirements for UV online monitoring probes.Following several rounds of discussion, the customized requirements were finalized.
①Detection wavelength: 365 nm
②The monitoring software enables coordinated operation of multiple probes in a network and synchronizes real-time data to the industrial control terminal interface.
③Redesign the probe structure based on the actual operating conditions of the coating production line.
④It can be seamlessly integrated into the existing online monitoring system for coating lines, fully addressing wiring and power supply considerations.
Ⅱ.Comprehensive customization tailored to your needs, providing end-to-end support from product development to service delivery.
① Dedicated rigid tube rotating telescopic probe, suitable for film coating applications
To accommodate the actual operating conditions of the coating production line, Speedre made five targeted modifications to the probe:
Ball-shaped probe: Designed for coating production lines operating at high speeds, this probe eliminates sharp edges that could cause scratches or film damage upon contact with hard surfaces. Even accidental contact with the film will not harm customer products.
Scalable design: Given variations in film thickness, UV lamp height, and coating process parameters across batches, this adaptable configuration allows flexible adjustment of detection distance, ensuring the probe remains at optimal height for accurate measurement.
Rotatable design: Two sets of UV lamps are positioned above and below the coating production line. The rotatable mechanism allows the same probe to be flexibly adjusted for upward or downward detection, while enabling precise angle adjustment to align with the light source center.
Hardened flexible hoses: Production lines with coating processes often experience air flow and equipment vibrations, causing the hoses to shake and resulting in significant data fluctuations; rigid hoses offer excellent stability—maintaining their shape without sagging during prolonged operation and ensuring consistent inspection distances; with cables housed within these rigid tubes, production lines maintain a neater layout while preventing cable friction against the film.
Enhanced mounting base:The square base with sliding grooves can be directly secured to the production line frame, ensuring stable and displacement-free installation; maintains excellent height and positional consistency when installed in multiple units; eliminates the need for custom mounting brackets, thereby shortening on-site deployment time.
② Free access to monitoring software with seamless integration into the coating production line system
Leveraging TS180's mature communication architecture and monitoring software, Speedre eliminates customers' software development costs while providing comprehensive technical support throughout the entire on-site deployment process, including customized solutions.
Mature monitoring software: The self-developed solution is freely available to customers, seamlessly integrating with existing industrial control systems via the MODBUS protocol to enable real-time multi-channel data monitoring and overload alarms.
Multi-unit networking capability: Multiple TS180 units can be networked synchronously via the RS485 communication interface, with subsequent upgrades supporting up to 220 units simultaneously connected, fully meeting large-scale production line expansion requirements.
Continuous free upgrades:The software will be regularly updated based on actual user needs at no extra cost, ensuring long-term compatibility with production line developments.
Comprehensive solution delivery: During the proposal communication phase, we provided clients with customized probe renderings, software UI design diagrams, and wiring schematic diagrams to facilitate cross-departmental verification among internal equipment and process teams.
On-site Deployment Services: Upon product delivery, Speedre engineers visit the customer's production facility to provide comprehensive services—including circuit inspection, software installation and debugging, and operational training—ensuring full compatibility of the TS180 with the coating line's online monitoring system.
Ⅲ.TS180 – A one-stop UV online monitoring solution
The successful deployment of the TS180 UV online monitoring probe on customer coating production lines has not only enabled multi-point online monitoring of UV curing power, significantly improving product yield and process stability, but also demonstrated the practical value of the TS180 in the precision coating industry. The TS180 supports networked integration with multiple devices, allowing centralized data aggregation and management from various monitoring points, making it perfectly suited for real-time synchronous monitoring across automated production lines. Additionally, Speedre provides customized development services tailored to specific site conditions and installation requirements, ensuring flexible adaptation to diverse production scenarios including coating processes and roll material curing applications.
