Hoenle ‘s UV Scan MACS: Advanced UV Dose measurement system for precision and reproducibility

 Friday, June 13, 2025

Hoenle

Hoenle, a leading UV specialist based in Germany, introduces the UV Scan MACS, an innovative UV dose measurement system powered by PRUUVE. This cutting-edge technology is designed to offer precise, reproducible, and reliable measurements for laboratories and UV-based industrial processes. The UV Scan MACS sets new standards in the world of UV dose measurement, ensuring superior accuracy and ease of use for users in diverse applications.

Revolutionary Technology for Accurate Measurements

The UV Scan MACS leverages a patented technology that combines photophysics and optics to guarantee unmatched reliability and reproducibility in UV dose measurements. This advanced system is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of laboratories and industrial environments where precision is critical. Hoenle’s commitment to providing high-quality, dependable UV measurement solutions is further validated with this latest release.

Simple Application with Highly Reliable Results

The UV dose measurement process with the UV Scan MACS begins with the calibration of a test strip using the macsReader device. A stencil is provided to assist users in positioning the strip precisely under the reader’s detector. Once calibrated, the test strip is adhered to the substrate before passing through the UV irradiation process in the plant.

After exposure to the UV lamps, the macsReader is used again to measure the applied UV dose at a defined measuring point. The results are displayed on the macsReader in mJ/cm², corresponding to the combined measurements of the UVA, UVB, and UVC ranges, captured by the Power Puck II measuring device from EIT 2.0.

This simple yet highly accurate process makes the UV Scan MACS an ideal tool for consistent and reliable UV dose measurements, ensuring optimal performance in a variety of industrial applications.

Precision in Demanding Printing Processes

One of the standout features of the UV Scan MACS is the flexibility of its self-adhesive and highly adaptable macsStrips. These measuring strips are suitable for a wide range of UV processes, including those where traditional test strips often fall short. Whether it’s horizontal UV processes, vertical surfaces, roll-to-roll applications, or other difficult-to-reach areas, the macsStrips provide precise measurements even in the most challenging conditions.

This flexibility ensures that users can trust the UV Scan MACS to deliver accurate results across a broad spectrum of applications, including printing processes, which require a high level of precision and consistency.

Long Shelf Life and Easy Storage

In addition to its remarkable flexibility, the macsStrips also boast a long shelf life of approximately twelve months when stored under standard room conditions. This makes them not only convenient to use but also cost-effective, as users can rely on the strips for an extended period without the need for frequent replacements.

Ensuring Sustainable Quality Control and Process Optimization

The UV Scan MACS is a game-changer in quality control and process optimization. By ensuring the accuracy and reliability of UV dose measurements, this system plays a key role in minimizing material waste and enhancing the overall efficiency of UV-based processes. Its application supports sustainable production practices while maintaining the highest standards of quality control, essential for industries that depend on UV irradiation for curing, printing, and other vital processes.

Key Benefits at a Glance

Conclusion

The introduction of the UV Scan MACS by Hoenle marks a significant advancement in UV dose measurement technology. By combining cutting-edge photophysics and optics, the UV Scan MACS ensures precise, reproducible measurements, even in the most demanding industrial applications. With its flexibility, ease of use, and exceptional accuracy, the UV Scan MACS sets new standards for quality control and process optimization in laboratories and UV-based processes.
