UV inspection lamps provide a convenient, versatile quality control method for a wide range of applications. No matter what industry you’re in, professional blacklight inspection is a necessity for high-quality manufacturing processes. Some examples are discussed below.

NDT Crack Detection

UV-A inspection lamps are used for highlighting cracks in safety, critical aerospace, and automotive components during dye penetrant and magnetic particle fluorescent processes.

PCB Conformal Coating Validation

UV-A inspection lights are used for quality control inspection of printed circuit boards.

Micro-Contamination Detection with UV Lamps

UV blacklight inspection lamps are used for:

Highlighting particulate micro-contamination during cleanroom validation and surface cleanliness checks before applying coatings

Inspection of LCD screens for quality control

Inspection of medical-grade textiles for detection of contamination

Fluid Leak Detection

UV fluorescent inspection systems can be combined with fluorescent additives mixed with water, oils, fuels, coolants, and refrigerants to reveal leaks on surfaces, pipework, joints, and coils.

Cleanliness Monitoring with UV Light Inspection

Professional UV inspection lights are used to reveal invisible contamination on surfaces, highlighting areas either missed or not cleaned properly. Ideal for audits, evaluating different cleaning products and training staff.

UV Lamps for Textile Manufacturing Quality Control

UV lamps are also used for quality control of textile materials and products. Applications include identification of fiber yarn mixes within a cone, cloth or beam. This also includes contamination of raw materials such as cotton, or oil stains on carpets from weaving and tufting machines and particulates in medical non-woven fabrics.

UV Blacklights for Scenic Artwork and Special Effects

UV blacklights are used in combination with UV reactive materials for creating spectacular special effects, including single and dual image, 3D, invisible/UV revealing and Trompe-l’oeil. Applications include entertainment, promotion and advertising materials.

UV Light Inspection for Paper Manufacturing Quality Control

UV lamps can be used for quality control of paper and paper products to reveal mixes and contamination on currency and security papers.

UV Lamps for Egg Inspection

UV inspection lamps are used for quality control inspection of free-range eggs to detect evidence of washing or wiping and highlighting spoilage by bacteria and mold. Currently used by DEFRA egg inspectors, hatcheries, egg packing centers, wholesalers and food processors.

UV Light Counterfeit Detection

UV blacklight inspection lamps are used to reveal security markings on items such as currency, credit cards and security documents for verification purposes.

XEPU UV Lamps

At XEPU Scientific Instruments, we offer a one-stop-shop for all your UV equipment needs, offering a cost-effective, versatile UV system for your manufacturing processes. Whether you’re in the medical device or automotive industry, we provide the highest quality products and most extensive knowledge available.

UV Inspection Lights are used in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) for fluorescing fluorescent magnetic inks and fluorescent dye penetrants. UV light or black light with a peak wavelength of 365nm creates the optimal viewing conditions.

XEPU manufactures a range of high-performance, handheld 365nm UV lamps and torches for NDT applications. This includes portable UV LED lights which are suitable for ISO 9934-3:2015 and ISO 3452-4:2013 applications.
