GEW has developed LeoLED, a new UV curing system compatible with its ArcLED hybrid curing technology.
Launching at Labelexpo Europe 2019, the Crawley-based company noted that it has redesigned the technology involved in the system in order to simplify it, whilst still providing the same value and delivering maximum power and UV energy.
The system employs ArcLED hybrid UV technology, which allows the use of a conventional UV arc lamp or LED array on the same print unit, the LED array delivers electrical power at 88W/cm with intensity of 25W/cm2, with minimal light loss due to the direct UV path.
Its 50mm width window gives a long dwell time and is waterproof-sealed for easy cleaning. The new lamphead is also offered in an alternative, more compact configuration for very confined spaces, and for sheetfed offset presses.
Alongside LeoLED, GEW will take the opportunity to showcase its latest mercury arc lamp technology in the Belgian capital, including its compact E4C system.
