Marking big transition towards UV-curing inks and varnishes with LED, GEW has addressed the needs of many printers by developing the first truly future proof hybrid UV curing system called ArcLED. ArcLED enables an investment in arc technology now to be upgraded later with LEDs using the same lamphead casing and the same power supply and control. One simply adds the LED cassettes required, fits a water cooling system (already available on many machines) and the RHINO ArcLED power supply does the best. It automatically recognises which type of cassette is installed in the machine and adjusts the RHINO control accordingly; all the printer has to do is print!
ArcLED is an industry first, switching seamlessly on the same press with the same RHINO power supply from DC power for the LEDs to high voltage AC for the arc lamps. RHINO ArcLED is extremely energy efficient showing considerable energy savings when compared to conventional electronic power supplies. An investment now in GEW’s 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.
