It is always a great pleasure to do business with American Ultraviolet/Lesco. Their prices are very reasonable, and they can beat out their competitors with no problems. They are always polite, and fun, and will try to help us in any ways they can – in fact, they are the kind of supplier that will go the extra mile to insure their customers are happy. I highly recommend American Ultraviolet and the products we use, and particularly want to thank Phil Smith for his attention to our account.

My company has been using American Ultraviolet/Lesco UV light equipment for more than 15 years. We consider Lesco UV lights the workhorses that help build our business. We have more than 30 UV lights that we use each day to build our products. In my industry it is critical that the UV light equipment must function reliably every minute of every day it is used. Lesco UV lights have performed to our expectation in this regard, which is why we continue to use them. I use a Lesco Super Spot each day that is more than 15 years old - it ignites and works each day. I am very impressed with Lesco UV light equipment.

Ev3 use American Ultraviolet/Lesco UV light curing systems in many different medical field applications, and they always perform to the highest degree. We currently have about 10 units that we use on a regular basis. The UV light curing system works great for our needs. In addition, there is never a problem with sales, or service, and their personnel is as outstanding as the equipment they sell and service.

American Ultraviolet/Lesco has done an excellent job providing equipment that suits our manufacturing needs. Futurematrix has many U.V. cure gluing stations, and all equipment in use is provided by AUV/Lesco. This equipment is used 8-12 hrs a day, 25 days a month. Many of the curing machines have run trouble-free for 4 years and counting. The machines are reliable, and durable. And, as you know with any manufacturing equipment, one of the most important components is service. Our service representative calls our facility on a regular basis to make sure our needs are being meet. This is not the case with most vendors we do business with, some of whom we have trouble getting in contact with. This is not the case with Lesco. Customer service has been great. When we are in need of technical assistance and training to help maintain our machines AUV/Lesco meets our needs immediately. We also receive regular assistance from the technical support team.Their staff is very knowledgeable and helpful when it counts. In any manufacturing environment downtime equals lost money. AUV/Lesco does their part to ensure we do not get into these situations. I recommend American Ultraviolet/Lesco products, and services, to anyone looking for a high caliber supplier of U.V. equipment.

American Ultraviolet/Lesco products do a great job of meeting our manufacturing needs. Having a demo unit for trial was very helpful in determining which unit is best for us. Service is good, and parts are available.
Thanks for your help.

Nonin Medical relies on AUV West/Lesco to provide support for existing equipment used in the manufacturing of medical devices, and for providing the department with parts and new equipment. They have never failed to deliver products quickly to meet our needs and always provide us with news on specials the company is offering on equipment we may require. I am greatly appreciative of the attention personnel at AUV West give me whenever I contact them. They never fail to work with me and they meet any needs I may have for equipment. AUV West is a topnotch company with great people working for them.

Spot Curing Testimonials
The best proof of the success of any UV curing system is how it performs in the shop. Here are the comments of a few UV Source customers who have put our systems through their paces:
Medtronic MiniMed has been using your Green Spot UV light curing systems for more than four years, and we have never had to send in a single unit for service. We have multiple units in manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic configurations, and they just keep performing! Thanks for a well-designed and highly functional product.
Greg Dexter

Medtronic MiniMed
My labs are research and development only. This means that we need a wide variety of equipment and tools. Many of these are used infrequently, but when needed are expected to perform as advertised.
Much of our work involves angiographic catheters and related devices. All need a leur hub bonded to the catheter or other device. The Green Spot is easy to maintain and certainly trouble free. To date the machine has 5,663 hours recorded with the original Lamp-Reflector assembly.
This is a brief note of thanks for a job well done.

The best proof of the success of any UV curing system is how it performs in the shop. Here are the comments of a few American Ultraviolet® Company customers who have put our systems through their paces.
In late 1984, I needed a lab conveyorized UV unit to perform my first independent lab-based assignment. I needed it immediately and the unit had to run on 110 V. Back then most lab units had 200 wpi lamps and conveyor speeds of 10 to 50 fpm. I called Meredith Stines at American Ultraviolet®, explained my requirements and he quickly put a system together for me – with tri-power (100/200/300 wpi) lamp, focused reflector, conveyor speed of 225 fpm, at a very reasonable cost. Nineteen years later and after 200+ lab projects, we still rely on this workhorse unit. With it we have been able to correlate our cure results very well to the various UV units that our customers use. We like it for the following reasons: its simple design, its portability, it can be plugged in anywhere an outlet is available, it runs relatively quietly, and it gives very reliable cure results.
American Ultraviolet® has provided excellent customer service over the years. We've recommended your equipment to several customers.

I am writing to express our satisfaction with the performance of our Ultra-Cool Two Lamp Ultraviolet Conveyorized Curing System manufactured by American Ultraviolet® Company.
After two years of almost sixteen hours per day operation, this unit has surpassed our expectations. This was our first Ultra-Cool unit, and as such, we really did not know what to expect in lamp life. Once the lamps reached around 2550 hours, they started to refuse to start. Since then we have placed the unit on our standard UV lamp replacement schedule of 750 hours....
This system is virtually maintenance-free while providing the best solution for UV conveyor curing and conserving floor place. The Ultra-Cool system is a great product and a smart investment for any company requiring this type of equipment.
Sincerely,
John Schumann - Plant Engineer

You may recall sitting with me and coming up with not 1, nor 2 but 3 units that we initially purchased. These were Super-Cool units with Dual Metal Halide lamps. Since then we have purchased 2 additional units and are very happy with the way they are performing. An area we are very pleased with is the surface temperatures of our substrates. We are amazed at how cool we have been able to keep these surfaces while maintaining proper cure on high-speed production runs.

I work for what was a small company supplying and installing Sunraise thermography machines. We needed a UV curing system for some customers, but the two well-known UV manufacturing companies we dealt with in England gave us troublesome and unreliable equipment. We asked American Ultraviolet® for help. The equipment they sent us (which was a new specification for them) installed easily, worked first time, never gave any trouble and is still running on double shifts six days a week.
That was more than eight years ago, and our company is now part of the largest print-supply company in England. We now install Sunraise thermography machines all over the world outside USA, and we're still fitting American Ultraviolet® equipment. I have to install in territories where the electricity supply is pretty poor, but the American Ultraviolet® kit seems to take it in its stride. It's made my job easy – so here's a thank-you to the staff at American Ultraviolet® for a great piece of equipment.
