Abstract
A device for curing a UV-curable resin layer applied to a main surface or between two disc elements of a disc-shaped registration carrier, comprising rotation means for supporting the disc-shaped registration carrier and rotating it in a plane, and a rectilinear ultraviolet radiation source which is radially disposed with respect to the disc-shaped registration carrier for emitting ultraviolet radiation to the UV-curable resin layer. The length and the position of the rectilinear ultraviolet radiation source are such that the rectilinear radiation source is disposed opposite the disc-shaped registration carrier from a distance from the center of the disc-shaped registration carrier to the edge thereof. The rectilinear ultraviolet radiation source is disposed at an angle to the plane of rotation, and not parallel or perpendicularly thereto, therefore. The rectilinear ultraviolet radiation source can be disposed opposite the disc-shaped registration carrier in such a manner that it extends beyond the edge thereof, in order to expose a UV-curable resin layer applied to the edge surface of the disc-shaped registration carrier as well.
