Introducing the Midori™ Spot Cure Series: Portable, Mercury-Free UV LED Curing at Your Fingertips

Ushio America expands its UV curing portfolio with the Midori™ UDC365 and UDC405 – handheld LED light sources built for precision industrial, medical, and electronics applications.

Ushio America has long been a trusted name in specialty illumination. Now, the company’s engineering team has pushed that legacy further with the Midori™ Spot Cure Series – a compact, battery-powered UV LED light source designed for demanding, hand-held curing workflows where portability and precision are non-negotiable.

Available in two wavelength configurations – the UDC365 (365 nm) and the UDC405 (405 nm) – the Midori™ series delivers up to 3 W/cm2 of UV power density in a device that weighs just 4.5 oz. That combination of output and portability makes it one of the most capable handheld UV spot-cure tools on the market for adhesive bonding, conformal coating, sealant curing, and encapsulant applications.

Built for professionals who can’t afford downtime

The Midori™ series is mercury-free and features instant on/off operation – no warm-up time, no arc lamp degradation, no hazardous disposal. Rechargeable Li-lon battery operation (2× RCR123A cells) keeps technicians untethered from outlets on the production floor or in the field.

User-programmable exposure

Factory presets at 4s and 8s; custom on-times configurable to application specs.

Up to 3 W/cm2 Power Density

High-output UV density for fast, consistent cures on photoactivated materials.

Mercury-free & long-life LED

Solid-state LED technology eliminates hazardous materials and extends service life.

4.5 oz - truly portable design

Ergonomic, lightweight form factor designed for extended hand-held use.

Two wavelengths. One platform.

Choosing between 365 nm and 405 m comes down to your adhesive chemistry. The UDC365 targets formulations with peak sensitivity in the near-UV range – ideal for demanding optical and medical-grade adhesives. The UDC405 covers visible-edge UV materials common in electronics assembly and general-purpose conformal coatings. Both units share the same ergonomic platform, control interface, and battery system, allowing facilities to standardize tooling across product lines.

Applications across critical industries

UV adhesive bonding Conformal coatings Sealants & encapsulants Medical device assembly Electronics manufacturing Optoelectronics Industrial precision assembly

From prototype labs to high-mix production lines, the Midori™ Spot Cure Series is engineered to go wherever precision UV curing is required. Each unit ships as a complete Spot Cure Pak – including the light source, a 2-bay smart Li-lon charger with AC adapter and car plug, and four RCR123A protected rechargeable batteries.
