No costly and time consuming return to the factory necessary!
25
Advantages of LED UV
No Ozone
Due to operation in UVA range at 385Nm
No IR radiation
Low thermal impact into machine and substrate suitable for heat sensitive stocks
No Power consumption during wash-up times, stand by and job changes
Instant ON-OFF of UV LED ensures energy consumption only during productive times
No Mercury
Due to diode technology vs. lamp bulb system
No extraction system necessary
High efficient heat management with water cooling only
Long life time of LED UV
Standard lamps usually need to be changed after 2000 - 3000h production time
