UV LED Curing for Hypodermic Needle & Cannula Assembly

Hypodermic needles and cannula assemblies are manufactured in extremely high volumes. A typical process requires bonding a stainless steel cannula into a plastic hub using a light-curable adhesive. UV LED curing is well suited for this application because it can deliver fast, repeatable curing in compact automated equipment.

The main challenge is speed and consistency. Manufacturers need to cure adhesive bonds in a very short cycle time without interrupting high-speed indexing, rotary, or multi-station assembly lines. The process must also control heat and maintain stable output across long production runs.

ETIA recommends OmniCure® LX500 with compact UV LED heads for high-speed needle and cannula assembly. Multi-channel control allows several curing stations to operate from one platform, while PLC integration helps synchronize UV exposure with automated production equipment.

OmniCure® LX500 is recommended for high-volume medical assembly applications that require compact UV LED heads, multiple wavelength options, and automation-friendly control.

As an authorized OmniCure® distributor, ETIA supports application review, product selection, genuine supply, installation, training, troubleshooting, and long-term service.

ETIA helps customers translate UV curing requirements into practical, reliable production solutions.
