UV LED Curing Systems

AeroLED2 is a next generation, higher power UV LED system for full cure, printing, coating and converting applications up to 70cm wide; AeroLED2 offers a 30% increase in electrical power (70W / cm), a 30% increase in UV dose (170mJ / cm2) and a 40% increase in UV irradiance (26W / cm2) compared to its predecessor, AeroLED.

AeroLED2 is also ArcLED compatible. Using the same fan and ducting arrangement as the industry standard E2C, customers have total flexibility to switch between UV arc and AeroLED2 on any station. No filters are required due to the high redundancy, making maintenance a breeze. Moreover any customers with GEW’s RHINO/RLT power supply platform can upgrade to LED within a matter of hours, by simply changing the cassettes and running a software upgrade.

Following its predecessor, in an AeroLED2 system air is extracted by a single centralised fan sited away from the press. There is no need for integrated fans or electronics in the individual lampheads, which eliminates the high pitched noise and risk of failure that these bring. AeroLED2 features the same LED chassis and core components as GEW’s LeoLED2 lamphead, for proven reliability. As with LeoLED2, the lamphead has tough watertight seals to protect the LED modules from ingress and to make cleaning easy and safe. Every aspect of the design has been carefully considered to deliver robust performance and long-term reliability.

AeroLED2’s efficient optical design enables the lowest energy usage of all GEW products. This delivers energy savings of up to 55% when compared to a conventional UV arc system – you can find out your potential energy savings on our ROI calculator. In addition to offering greatly reduced operating costs, printers upgrading to AeroLED2 are able to free up >50% of mains capacity, which can then be used to install new machinery and subsequently increase production capability. Two AeroLED2 systems have a lower electrical supply requirement than just one conventional arc UV system.

A further advantage of LED is its predictability and stability of UV output in the curing process. AeroLED2 delivers improved process control by ensuring stable UV output year after year, and eliminates the uncertainty of conventional UV lamps, reflectors and mechanisms to ensure consistent production quality. As is the case with all new GEW UV products, AeroLED2 uses GEW’s RHINO power supply and control range, for ultimate reliability with Industry 4.0 approved, IoT Remote Monitoring as standard.

High powered variant of GEW’s E2C lamphead, designed for low migration and/or high-speed print applications.

E2C HP comprises a standard E2C UV lamp cassette housed in a larger casing to enable more air cooling and thus higher running power, up to 180W/cm. Perfect for low migration or high speed print applications up to 80cm wide, it boasts the same reliability and patented reflector designs contained in GEW’s most popular E2C product.

E2C HP still supports printing on the widest range of heat-sensitive materials because our actively air-cooled reflectors reduce heat transfer to the substrate. It also boasts GEW’s famous quick-change cassette design enabling a new lamp to be fitted in under 2 minutes with only 1 hex key tool required.

Fully air cooled, extreme high power lamp design perfect for web & industrial applications.

NUVA2 HP is the same NUVA2 cassette in a narrower format − the extra cooling available allows running up to 240W/cm, with maximum power decreasing as lamp length increases. Fully air-cooled, NUVA2 HP is available with a wide range of customisation options and is perfect for final cure inkjet applications (with iron-doped lamps) or high-speed web machines.

GEW’s patented reflectors are actively cooled to ensure that heat transfer to the substrate is minimised, whilst delivering the highest UV intensity and dose available. The quick-change cassette design ensures fast lamp changes with only 1 hex key tool required and all replaceable components are plug and play for easiest maintenance.
