Company Overview
Excelitas Noblelight, a proud member of the global Excelitas Technologies organization, specializes in providing advanced photonics-based solutions across the electromagnetic spectrum, from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR). With a history spanning over 120 years in specialty light sources, the company offers a comprehensive range of emitters, lamps, and systems designed to optimize industrial thermal processes globally. Headquartered with key locations in Germany, the UK, the US, China, and Japan, Excelitas Noblelight emphasizes energy efficiency, precision, and customized solutions for diverse industrial applications.
Products and Services
The company's extensive portfolio includes several core technologies. Infrared heating systems feature emitters such as Carbon Infrared (CIR®), Golden 8, and Medium Wave Plus, which offer very short response times and precise heat targeting, enabling significant energy savings—up to 80% in some applications. These systems are utilized for processes like drying, curing, welding, forming, and deburring across various materials including plastics, metals, and textiles.
UV technology encompasses solutions for curing, disinfection, and oxidation. UV curing systems, available as microwave-powered (LightHammer® series) and cutting-edge UV LED (Semray® series) units, provide instant, solvent-free curing for inks, coatings, and adhesives, enhancing production speed and product durability. For disinfection and oxidation, Excelitas Noblelight offers low-pressure (NNILight series, amalgam lamps), medium-pressure lamps, and integrated systems like BlueLight® and Steribelt, ensuring chemical-free germ reduction in water, air, and on surfaces, with proven efficacy of up to 99.9% reduction.
Arc and Flash lamps, including Xenon and Krypton types, are vital for Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP), laser pumping (welding, cutting, drilling, marking), and advanced composite manufacturing with technologies like humm3®. These solutions deliver high peak power, short pulse durations, and fast repetition rates for demanding industrial applications. Furthermore, the company provides analytical lamps such as Deuterium, Hollow Cathode (HCL), and Photoionization Detector (PID) lamps, including the FiberLight® series, for precise spectroscopic analysis and environmental monitoring in laboratory and field settings.
