Abstract: There is provided an UV curing apparatus for the curing of a UV curable product having a UV curable coating thereon comprising at least two arrays of UV LEDs, a positioning mechanism for placing the UV curable product in the light zone of the UV LEDs, and a thermographic camera (2) for monitoring the curing of the UV curable coating, ink or adhesive. The apparatus uses a computer control unit to controls the curing process via the positioning mechanism by positioning of the product in the light zone in response to curing information received from the thermographic camera. The apparatus quickly, efficiently and effectively cures UV curable products, articles, inks, coatings, adhesives, and other object, thereby reducing the curing time and increasing the quality of the cured product.
