[0002] UV-curable inks are used in CNC machining of metal products such as stainless steel and aluminum. By applying ink protection before CNC machining, the defect rate can be reduced from 100% to less than 1 / 1000, protecting the product surface. UV (ultraviolet light curing) inks are inks that use ultraviolet light of different wavelengths and energies to polymerize monomers in the ink binder, causing the ink to form a film and dry. UV inks are also a type of ink, and as inks, they must possess vibrant colors (except in special cases), good printability, and a suitable curing and drying rate. They also need good adhesion and properties such as abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, and weather resistance. During production, UV-curable inks need to be moved to different locations for feeding. To improve feeding efficiency, a feeding device for UV-curable ink production is required.
