Fast curing/polymerisation of adhesive/resin by UV spots for the assembly of numerous parts in glass, plastic, metal, to produce objects, like: medical devices, electronics, mechatronics, microtechnics, optics, for R&D and testing.

Beam-Consult was founded in 1996 by Dr Juerg Seidel for the promotion of UV measurement and assembly by rapid (spot) curing of solvent-free, 1K adhesives, by know-how transfer and selling the best adapted UV-equipment.
