Radiation source for electromagnetic radiation the major effective component of which is in the near-infrared region, in particular in the wavelength region between 0.8 &#x3bc;m and 1.5 &#x3bc;m, to form an elongated irradiation zone, with an elongated halogen lamp comprising a glass body that has a tubular shape with bases at the ends and contains at least one spiral filament, and with an elongated reflector, such that the bases of the halogen lamp are disposed in the region of the reflector surface or behind it with reference to the position of the halogen lamp, wherein the ends of the halogen lamp are bent around toward the reflector and the spiral filaments or at least one of them is made thicker or is more densely wound in the bent region of the glass body, in such a way that the radiation flux density of the radiation source is substantially constant in the long direction of the source, between the outermost points of the bases.

Radiation source and device

Disclosed is a radiation apparatus for technical uses, especially a UV crosslinking apparatus of a printing press, coating machine, or similar. Said radiation apparatus comprises at least one radiation source emitting a processing radiation, at least one controllable and particularly wavelength-selective reflector which is assigned to the radiation source and is used for selectively directing the processing radiation onto a substrate that is to be processed or away therefrom, a driving mechanism which is effectively connected to the reflector, and a housing accommodating at least the at least one radiation source and the at least one reflector. At least one first and second radiation source are provided between which the controllable reflector is disposed and which can be operated above all in a separate manner. The reflector is formed and mounted so as to direct the processing radiation of all radiation sources towards the substrate in a first position while directing the processing radiation of all radiation sources away from the substrate in a second position.

Radiation apparatus

Method of manufacturing a semiconducting organic laminated structure, for use in an electronic circuit, in particular a logic and/or memory circuit, wherein a substrate is coated with a solution or dispersion containing a small proportion of an organic composite and having a certain wet-layer thickness, which by drying is converted into an organic thin layer with semiconducting properties that adheres to the substrate and has a dry-layer thickness substantially less than the wet-layer thickness, in particular by an order of magnitude or more, the drying being accomplished by brief irradiation with electromagnetic radiation that has its main effective component in the near-infrared range, in particular in the region between 0.8 and 1.5 &#x3bc;m.

Method and device for the production of a semiconducting and/or electroluminescence-displaying organic layered structure

The invention relates to a method and a system for irradiating objects with infrared radiation, in particular in order to dry surface layers and/or fix them in place, wherein a radiation source () is moved by means of a robot () into one or several operating positions in which the particular target object is irradiated.

Infrared irradiation

The invention relates to a method of drying coated and/or impregnated objects (), in particular lacquered wood, wherein [drying of] a coating agent and/or impregnation agent applied to the surface of the object concerned is completed before a characteristic period of time has elapsed, by irradiating the coated or impregnated surface with infrared radiation. The characteristic period of time is determined by the time needed for components of the coating and/or impregnation agent () to migrate away, i.e. by penetrating into the object (), so that the quality of the coating or impregnation is impaired. Alternatively or in addition, the characteristic period of time is determined by the fact that after it has elapsed, a solvent and/or dilution fluid that is contained in the coating and/or impregnation agent () and is to be driven out and/or bound during the heating process has caused fibers in the object () to be raised up, so that a secondary treatment of the surface is necessary or desirable.

Coating and drying of objects by way of infrared radiation

Method of removing dents from sheet-metal parts, in particular from lacquered parts of an automobile body, wherein the metal part ( ) in the region of a dent (B) is warmed locally in a substantially non-contact manner, in such a way that a mechanical tension gradient produced by the local warming causes the dent to spring back so as to restore the original shape of the metal part.

Method and device for removing dents from sheet metal parts

Method and apparatus for coating the surface of an object, especially the surface of a car bumper ( ) with a plastic film ( ). During and/or after application of the plastic film to the surface, the coating is irradiated with infra-red radiation in order to heat at least parts of the coating and/or optionally residual moisture between the surface and the plastic film ( ). This enables slight inequalities of the plastic film to be compensated, the adhesive coating is distributed in a homogeneous manner and the optionally residual moisture is collected in the form of bubbles following infrared radiation. Defects or irregularities in the coating can thus be identified during or shortly afterwards.

Method and device for coating a surface with a plastic film

A method and an apparatus for drying a substance that is being rapidly conveyed in a conveyor apparatus, in particular for drying layers of printing ink on rapidly transported paper, wherein in a drying zone by means of incident electromagnetic radiation a moisture component, in particular a solvent, is separated from the substance to be dried. The separated moisture component is transported away from the drying zone by means of a transport gas current. Efficient and rapid drying of in particular printed newsprint or thermal printing paper is attained at high conveyor velocities.
