  • Patent number: 8633453
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device for curing photoactivatable paint coatings. The device comprises a curing radiation source configured to emit radiation sufficient to cure a photoactivatable paint coating at a target location. The radiation source is located at a source location operably spaced from the target location where the photoactivatable paint coating is to be cured thereon. A motorized support for supporting the curing radiation source at the source location is provided where the motorized support is configured to advance the curing radiation source along a travel path. The motorized support is further configured to cycle the curing radiation source along the travel path between a first position and a second position in order to vary over time the angle of attack of the radiation emitted from the curing radiation source toward the target location.

  • Patent number: 8158956
    Abstract: A device and method for curing photoactivatable paint coatings. An exemplary device may include a light chamber housing supported by a frame and undercarriage, the wall portions of the light chamber having a peripheral region terminating at a light emission region. A UV light source may be located within the light chamber. A motorized carrier may be provided and configured to controllably index and/or oscillate the UV light source along a travel path within the housing. The light chamber may be located adjacent a target paint cure location on a work piece, with the UV light emission region facing the paint cure location. Once properly located, the UV light source may be indexed and/or oscillated along the travel path to deliver UV light to the target paint cure location so as to cure UV curable paint thereon.
