Used UV and IR Curing Ovens For Sale
UsedUV and IR Cure Ovens for SMT and PCB Assembly from SMT Sales Group
Curing technology plays a critical role in modern SMT and PCB assembly, ensuring the proper hardening of adhesives, conformal coatings, inks, and encapsulants used throughout the manufacturing process. SMT Sales Group offers cost-effective access to used and refurbished UV and IR cure ovens, sourcing all makes and models to meet the specific needs of electronics manufacturers. With more than 25 years of industry experience, SMT Sales Group has the expertise and global sourcing network to procure reliable curing solutions for virtually any application.
SMT Sales Group works with a broad range of cure oven technologies and manufacturers, giving customers flexibility and choice. Major UV and IR cure oven manufacturers commonly sourced include Nordson, Heraeus, Dymax, Honle, Heraeus Noblelight, Panasonic, Electrovert, PVA, Phoseon, Dr. Hönle, Excelitas, Miltec, IST Metz, UV Process Supply, and Uvitron, as well as IR and thermal cure systems from BTU, Heller, Despatch, Grieve, Wisconsin Oven, and other established industrial oven manufacturers. This wide access allows SMT Sales Group to match equipment precisely to process requirements, facility constraints, and budget goals.
UV cure ovens use ultraviolet light to rapidly polymerize UV-sensitive materials. They are commonly used for curing UV adhesives, conformal coatings, solder masks, and inks in SMT and PCB assembly. UV curing offers extremely fast cure times—often seconds rather than minutes—along with lower thermal impact on sensitive components and substrates. This makes UV cure ovens ideal for heat-sensitive assemblies and high-throughput production environments. UV systems can be configured with mercury lamps or modern LED UV sources, inline conveyors, or batch-style chambers depending on the application.
IR cure ovens, by contrast, use infrared radiation to generate heat that cures thermally activated materials. IR curing is widely used for epoxies, adhesives, underfills, and coatings that require elevated temperatures over controlled time profiles. IR ovens provide deep, uniform heating and are well-suited for thicker materials or assemblies where UV light penetration is limited. Many IR cure ovens are integrated inline with SMT conveyors or configured as standalone batch systems, offering flexibility across a wide range of PCB assembly processes.
One of the key advantages of sourcing cure ovens through SMT Sales Group is cost savings. New UV and IR cure systems can be expensive, particularly for inline or high-capacity configurations. By purchasing used equipment, manufacturers can achieve reliable curing performance at a fraction of the cost of new machinery. SMT Sales Group ensures each system is carefully evaluated for lamp condition, heating performance, controls, conveyors, and safety features.
SMT Sales Group also provides a consultative approach to equipment selection. Their team works closely with customers to understand materials, cure profiles, throughput requirements, and line integration needs. This ensures that the selected UV or IR cure oven delivers consistent results without unnecessary complexity or expense.
With proven sourcing capability, technical expertise, and access to all major manufacturers, SMT Sales Group is a trusted partner for SMT and PCB assembly facilities seeking dependable, cost-effective UV and IR cure ovens. Their used equipment solutions help manufacturers achieve reliable curing performance while controlling capital costs and maintaining production flexibility.
