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.

ExciRay Lamps
GEW’s ExciRay lamp produces vacuum ultraviolet radiation for a range of applications and can be seamlessly integrated onto machinery up to 2.55m wide.
GEW’s ExciRay lamp systems utilise dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) lamps to produce quasi-monochromatic vacuum ultraviolet radiation, typically at 172nm. This radiation is commonly used for mattification of surface coatings, modification of surface tension for improved adhesion or surface cleaning for semiconductor and medical industries.
GEW ExciRay lamps, which are incorporated into the familiar NUVA2 cassette design, can be produced up to 255cm in length and can be custom integrated for your specific application, including provision for all required nitrogen inerting and control.

UV Lamp Lab Unit
The GEW mini UV lab unit is a robust, well specified stand-alone bench-top UV curing unit for laboratory or low volume production environments.
The UV lamp lab unit utilises a 150mm wide stainless steel conveyor belt to drive samples under the UV lamp at variable speeds up to 70m/min.
The E2C UV lamp contains an ozone-free bulb to prevent the need for duct extraction and an integrated fan controls the lamp at a constant 80W/cm.
A robust, bench-top curing unit incorporating simple feeder/catcher trays, it is a perfect, cost-effective tool for laboratory, press proofing and even low volume production.

NUVA2 HP
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.
