Yes, UV glue dispensing machine generally require an integrated curing system. This is because the UV glue they dispense is designed to cure (harden) rapidly when exposed to ultraviolet light. The curing system, typically involving UV lamps or LED, is an essential component that immediately initiates and completes the curing process right after the glue is dispensed. This allows for instant bonding and significantly speeds up production cycles by eliminating long drying times typical of other adhesives.
Essentially, a UV glue dispensing machine combines:
-
A precision dispensing mechanism to apply UV-curable adhesive accurately;
-
A UV curing system that exposes the adhesive to UV light, triggering it to solidify within seconds.

Manufacturers often integrate these systems so the UV curing occurs immediately at the point of dispensing, enabling rapid assembly, improved product quality, and efficient production flow. Some machines are designed as combined dispensing-and-curing units to maximize efficiency and reduce labor costs.
In summary, a UV glue dispensing machine typically does require a curing system to activate and complete the curing process of the UV glue it applies. Without the curing system, the UV glue would not solidify, making the dispensing process ineffective for bonding purposes.
