Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for crosslinking and curing of paint on a substrate according to the preamble of claims 1 and 6, respectively.
- the UV crosslinking (curing) of paints is state of the art.
- the paint contains so-called photoinitiators (PI).
- PI photoinitiators
- the photoinitiators absorb the UV radiation and cause the networking.
- Various photoinitiators have been used in the art used in a paint, so that over the entire wavelength range the irradiated radiation sufficient Absorption takes place. Photoinitiators are expensive. Become photoinitiators not activated when cross-linked, there is a risk of yellowing for the paint.
- UV lamps have a very high operating temperature on (eg more than 1000 ° C). These high operating temperatures The UV lights make the use of cooling air or other coolants required. This cooling is expensive and cooling air also causes technical problems regarding Dust, temperature gradients and air swirls.
- the invention is based on the finding that the use a monochromatic source of UV radiation has significant advantages brings with it.
- monochromatic means here a relatively narrow wavelength range of UV radiation, as generated for example by an excimer laser, the no special means for wavelength selection (be it in the resonator or outside the resonator).
- the bandwidth an excimer laser is in this sense as to understand "monochromatic”.
- a method for curing a coating layer applied to a substrate by irradiation with UV radiation is also known from EP 0 440 178 A1.
- the substrate passes on a conveyor belt at several UV sources over.
- the UV sources are monochromatic sources at least partially different Wavelengths.
- US 4,844,947 describes a method for selectively curing one on one Substrate applied photosensitive paint by means of a UV laser.
- WO 96/33872 a UV-curable ink on a substrate with the Hardened light of a low-pressure gas discharge lamp.
- the lamp is in one embodiment surrounded by a reflector arrangement which increases the Luminous efficacy and equalization of the illuminance is used.
- the reflector assembly By Pivoting the reflector assembly, the lamp can be shielded so that in Essentially no light falls on the substrate. This is to avoid damage to the substrate during standstill of the substrate the lamp passing conveyor.
- the UV radiation through a beam-expanding lens assembly is directed, by means of which they from different directions on the paint layer and the substrate is steered.
- Comparable is a device according to the preamble of claim 6 by a beam-expanding lens arrangement, through which the UV radiation is directed to them from different directions on the lacquer layer and the Direct the substrate.
- the wavelength of the UV radiation, the absorption characteristics of the photoinitiators in the paint and the power density of the radiation are essential parameters in the the curing play a role.
- suitable tuning of these parameters can the benefits of using a monochromatic UV source are enhanced so that the varnish layer over its entire thickness of the UV radiation completely absorbed.
- a substantially monochromatic UV radiation source a Excimer laser are used.
- the wavelength of the UV radiation in the range of 190 to 250 nm, especially at about 248 nm is located.
- the invention enables homogeneous crosslinking and hardening of paint layers with thicknesses of 50 ⁇ m and more.
- a laser as a UV radiation source, in particular an excimer laser, has the further advantage that the Prior art still to be listed technical problems in terms of dimensional stability of the substrate (coated object) are largely overcome.
- the curing with laser radiation allows a targeted local absorption, without the underlying substrate (object) strong is heated.
- excimer lasers bends, microscopic cracks of the substrate, moisture leakage and other phenomena that affect the quality of the paint coating and in particular their adhesion to the substrate, avoided.
- the distance between the radiation source (the laser) and the substrate is not critical to that Networking result, so that in the control of a relative movement between laser radiation and object not on the distance needs to be respected.
- the curing with laser radiation also allows very good results for objects with sharp edges.
- the networking takes place even on the edges without significant difference to Networking on the surfaces.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of the optical system and Figure 2 is a plan view.
- a substrate (object) 10 is to be provided with a lacquer layer become.
- the substrate 10 is in the illustrated embodiment from a wood material.
- substrate made of a plastic, metal or consist of a composite material.
- the lacquer layer 12 has a thickness of 50 ⁇ m.
- the source of UV radiation is an excimer laser 14 (type EMG 50 from LAMDA PHYSICS) with KrF gas.
- the laser 14 emits at a wavelength of about 248 nm.
- Special facilities for Reducing the bandwidth of the emitted radiation 16 has the laser 14 is not on (eg no grid in the resorner).
- the excimer laser 14 is operated pulsed.
- the repetition rate the pulses and the energy of each pulse is adjustable.
- Figures 1 and 2 show the optical system for steering the Radiation of the excimer laser 14 on the with the lacquer layer 12th Provided substrate 10.
- a stage 20 is vertical as shown in FIG movable up and down.
- About a prism 18 of the laser beam passes 16 to another prism 22 and into a double prism 24.
- the arrangement causes a division of the laser beam 16th in three beam parts, each via lenses 26a, 26b and 26c ( Figure 2) reach the lacquer layer 12.
- a beam component is let through by the double prism 24 straight and over the Lens 26b shown, a beam component is from the double prism 24th deflected upwards on a mirror 28, from where he over the Lens 26a reaches the lacquer layer 12 and a third Beam portion is directed by the double prism 24 on a mirror 30, from where the beam component through the lens 26c on the paint layer 12 is directed.
- Figures 3 and 4 show a further embodiment of optical devices for directing the UV laser radiation.
- Figures are similar or functionally similar Components provided with the same reference numerals.
- a movable relative to the stage 20' plate 34 is arranged, which supports a prism 32 and a lens 26.
- Figure 3 shows a side view of the optical system and
- Figure 4 is a plan view (from above).
- the stage 20 ' is according to the arrow P 2 vertically up and down sliding.
- the plate 34 is rotatable about an axis A corresponding to the arrow P 1 (with respect to the stage 20 ').
- the laser radiation directed via the lens 26 onto the lacquer layer and the substrate 10 is pivoted in accordance with the arrow P 3 .
- This arrangement also enables homogeneous curing of the lacquer layer 12 on the substrate 10.
- a cross hatch test gave a very good crosshatch characteristic in the range between Gt1 and Gt2.
- An abrasion test with steel wool showed a high mechanical resistance the paint layer.
