GEW ArcLED Hybrid UV Curing Systems

TWO UV Curing Technologies
ONE RHINO Power Supply

ArcLED allows use of a conventional UV mercury arc lamp or  LED (light emitting diode) array on the same print unit. Both arc and LED cassettes are compatible with the same power supply and fit in the same housing for ease of change.

The RHINO control enables any combination of curing technologies to be used on the same press.

Future proof UV technology

GEW arc and LED systems can both be upgraded in the field to the hybrid solution or be supplied in this configuration from new.

ArcLED enables hybrid, interchangeable UV curing on every print station, allowing the printer to use a combination of arc and LED technology seamlessly on the same press and to switch between arc and LED curing at will to suit process requirements and ink formulation.

Description

ArcLED enables an investment in arc UV technology now to be upgraded later with LEDs using the same lamphead casing and the same power supply and control.

With interchangeable cassettes, every print station has the same lamphead casing, power supply, cables and control. The printer only has to insert the cassette of choice and ArcLED Rhino does the rest: it automatically recognises which type of cassette is installed in the machine, adjusts the RHINO control to provide the correct power type (AC or DC) and adjusts running parameters – all the printer has to do is to print!

ArcLED allows seamless switching from  DC power for the LEDs to high voltage AC for the arc lamps and vice versa. RHINO ArcLED is extremely energy efficient showing considerable energy savings when compared to conventional electronic power supplies.

An investment now in ArcLED UV curing protects that investment into the future by ensuring an LED upgrade can be simply and cost effectively implemented. It also gives the possibility to run a fully flexible hybrid curing system.
