Can you use UV light curing in automated glue machines?

While we use the term “glue” most often, this simple name hides the fact that industrial adhesives are engineered polymers designed to undergo specific chemical reactions in order to form a bond. When properly selected for the materials to be joined, UV-curable glues can be placed on the parts and no reaction will occur, providing flexibility and control to the joining process. Once ready, UV lights can be activated, which instantly catalyze the polymers and drive the chemical reaction to full strength. UV curing in this manner can be performed automatically when incorporated into an automated glue dispensing system.
