Disclosed is a device for hardening the coating of an object, particularly a vehicle body ( 12 ), said coating being made of a material that hardens under electromagnetic radiation, especially a UV lacquer or a thermally hardening lacquer. The inventive device comprises at least one emitter ( 46, 48 a, 48 b, 52 a, 52 b) that generates electromagnetic radiation, and a system ( 14, 16 ) which conveys the object ( 12 ) into the proximity of and away from the emitter ( 46, 48 a, 48 b, 52 a, 52 b). The spatial position of the at least one emitter ( 46, 48 a, 48 b, 52 a, 52 b) or a reflector ( 55 ) that is assigned thereto can be modified by means of a motor, thus allowing even objects ( 12 ) with highly uneven and three-dimensionally curved surfaces to be conveyed into the radiation range of the emitters ( 46, 48 a, 48 b, 52 a, 52 b) in such a way that the surfaces are evenly exposed to a radiation quantity and radiation intensity required for hardening.
