Description
Technology:
- LED UV curing systems are a modern alternative to traditional mercury arc lamp based UV curing systems. Uses Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to emit ultraviolet light for curing applications.
Advantages of LED UV curing systems:
- Energy efficient: LEDs consume less power compared to mercury arc lamps.
- Environmentally friendly: No mercury waste disposal concerns.
- Faster cure times: LEDs can often achieve faster curing speeds than traditional lamps.
- Lower heat generation: Reduced risk of heat damage to substrates.
- Safer operation: LEDs typically emit a narrower range of UV wavelengths, potentially reducing safety hazards (consult safety data sheets for specific systems).
- Longer lifespan: LEDs generally have a longer operating life than mercury arc lamps.
- Instant on/off: No warm-up or cool-down time required for LEDs.
Application:
- Printing and Packaging– UV Ink, Varnish, or Paint Curing, Label Printing, Food Packaging
- Electronics and Automotive– Conformal Coating, Adhesive Curing, Surface Finishing
- Medical and Consumer Goods– Medical Device Manufacturing, Coating Applications
- Other Applications– Furniture Finishing, Fiber Optic Cable Production, 3D Printing.
