Abstract

An UV oven comprises a compact longitudinal elliptical reflector with first and second focal lines; a longitudinal small diameter bulb disposed along the first focal line that generates short wavelength UV radiation, IR radiation, visible radiation and heat to cure the coating on magnet wires or wire-like elements that are passed through the other focal line. The inside surface of the reflector is coated with material to enhance the reflectivity of the short wavelength UV, IR and visible radiation.
