E2C
The most popular air-cooled UV curing system in the world − over 30,000 units installed.
E2C is GEW’s most popular UV dryer with over 30,000 units installed worldwide. Fully air cooled, it delivers unparalleled curing performance up to 140W/cm due to patented ultra-efficient reflector designs. No similar product delivers more curing performance at this energy level.
Perfect for use on any machine up to 60cm in width, E2C 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 renowned quick-change cassette design enabling a new lamp to be fitted in under 2 minutes with only one hex key tool required.

UV Control Systems
Simple touchscreen controls backed up by an internet-connected remote monitoring service − GEW RHINO control is unparalleled in the industry.
GEW UV systems are controlled by a combination of user commands and settings (entered on a modern industrial touchscreen), as well as machine signals which are either hardwired or electronically communicated to the GEW RHINO power units. GEW’s proprietary RHINO software is able to handle a vast array of common industrial control interfaces from simple relay logic to web-based APIs.
The HMI itself has a simple user interface for operating all key parameters on up to 16 lamps simultaneously, customised for each specific machine configuration. Optional accessories such as GEW’s UV monitoring or inert gas chambers are also controlled through the same user interface. It can be mounted freestanding in any location on or around the press or bevel mounted for seamless integration in machine panels.

UV LED Modules
UV LED modules are sub-assemblies incorporating tens or hundreds of roughly millimetre square LEDs arranged in a matrix of rows and columns. Multiple LED modules are arranged in various configurations within lamp head assemblies to span the desired UV emitting length and width.
The UV spectral output of an LED is relatively monochromatic compared to broadband mercury sources. The material structure of the LED semiconductor determines the exact UV output wavelength, which is fixed and unchanging for each individual diode. Typically, a UV LED module will contain many LEDs with very similar UV spectra and will be specified at a nominal peak wavelength (e.g. 395 ± 5nm).
All GEW LED modules are available with peak wavelengths of 365, 385, 395 or 405nm, with a range of market leading irradiancies to suit many different applications.

UV LED Lab Unit
GEW’s LED bench-top lab unit allows fast, accurate UV LED irradiation of samples or radiometers and can be specified with different wavelengths as required.
GEW’s LED lab unit utilises a high precision linear drive to pass a sample tray under the UV LED array.
Variable speed control ensures highly repeatable testing up to 100m/min with UV power adjustable in set increments and LED array height adjustable up to 25mm.
A simple magnetic hinged tray carries print samples or can accommodate an EIT radiometer for precise UV power measurement.
