1 The NEW LEDcure Compact. Modular. High performance

2 Target groups for UV LED Commercial printer, Web-to-Print provider, Publisher, Book printer who are interested in: The latest available technology level in dryer technology To strengthen their green printing market approach To achieve the lowest energy costs/sheet ratio for drying their printed products instantly LED UV has a zero waiting time- Instant on/off functionality Early adaptor mentality Other suitable applications: Temperature sensitive substrates 2

3 Put in the equipment, put in the rollers be happy?! LED-inks are UV-inks, a UV-Preparation is absolutely recommended! Absolute MUST Ink- and dampening rollers, as well as adaptation of the fountain solution Rubber blankets UV-Ink duct foil UV-resistant printing plates incl. adaptation of prepress curve Options/ not a must but with willingness to take risk: Pipes, Sealings, Rubber blades Ink agitators Ink mist filters (if available) Water cooled sheed guide plate. In case of format switching not necessary. 3

4 The NEW LEDcure Newly-developed Interchangeable optics ensure optimum light yield on the substrate Available in different wavelenghts Length of the system can be freely scaled and adapted to match machine sizes XT8 bootster technology Compact. Modular. High performance 4

5 LEDcure press configurations for commercial 4 color jobs Only one dryer is required after the last printing unit Perfecting: Only one dryer before perfecting and one dryer after the last printing unit 5

6 HOT Swap Configurations EOP with UV LAMPcure UV LEDcure Possible! Should be discussed thoroughly in regards to applications and investment 6

7 Hot Swap Technology Switch over to LEDcure on short notice at any time! based on ELC -X/PE series UV systems are fitted with the same ELC type electronic power supply devices as standard. They can be used to continuously regulate the dimming range of the UV lamp. Both LAMPcure and LEDcure units can be operated interchangeably with the same ELC. PLC will identify type (lamp or led) automatically and will show corresponding operator keys on Smart Control Existing UV units that are already operated with the ELC -X series can be retrofitted with an LEDcure system. 7

8 Electronic Power Supply ELC -X Features: Low operating costs High electrical efficiency up to 97% = low energy consumption Compact and light construction (stacking concept) Due to its very compact construction the required space and weight for the switch cabinets is reduced by up to 50 %. Increased production process safety Due to its integrated control and monitoring system output control net voltage variations of +/-10% do not influence the lamp output. Hot Swap technology suitable for alternating operation with lamp or LED 8

9 Smart Control Smart Control New generation of LAMPcure and LEDcure are equipped with the Smart Control user interface Makes the operation of UV and LED systems clear, is easy to use Allows the integration into all kinds of machines REMARKS: Remote ready feature is still available 9

12 Components of a LEDcure system LEDcure dryer Easy integration and handling Fully water-cooled Switch cabinet Closed cabinet design Stack will take up to 12 ELC Chiller Air-cooled = Standard Water-cooled = Option 1150 x 740 x 1450 mm (Air-cooled for 2 LED bars) 12

13 Requirements for LEDcure UV in sheetfed Flexibility to handle different distances between UV source and substrate Dealing with required high production speeds Format 18k iph? Yes we can! Maintain the dry touch of UV printing not just a tacky almost dry result! 13

14 LEDcure for sheetfed printing Highest efficiency due to unique optics (lenses) = less power consumption for better curing results! Optimum balance of peak and doseage Wave length 385 nm (other possible) Scaleable in length Stepless power up to 100% No air extraction required 100% water-cooled Protective quarz glass screen in front of the LEDs 14

15 Performance of IST UV LEDcure systems Water cooled Air cooled Water cooled no optics Air cooled no optics Near field optics Far field optics 15

16 Energy savings Why? Potential for energy savings In standy by the system is switched off advantage for short run jobs and many job change production Format switching and sheet timing allows to switch of LED s outside the printed area 16

17 Energy efficiency: Format setting LEDcure UV energy only where and when it is required Off during make-ready and stand by Cylinder Gap Not printing cylinder surface! Cylinder gap none printing area Adjustable on: 1. Sheet width 2. Print length (cylinder gap + X) Print length 17

18 XT8 Booster technology Unique thermal path Lower chip temperatures Longer LED life time Highest optical efficiency UV ray collection Optimized transistion Ideal light guiding to substrate XT8 increases peak intensities up to 30% Themal and optical coupling 18

19 Comparison Technical Data 70/100 2x LAMPcure, 108 cm, 200 W/cm Max. Power consumption incl. heat exchanger, exhaust air: 50 kw 2x LEDcure 108 cm, 135 W/cm Max. Power consumption incl. cooling unit: 40 kw 19

20 LEDcure advantages Safe production due to unique optics Efficient curing in various distances Service friendly Individual LED module and electronics exchangeable in the field Maximized flexibility High peak and dose for best curing results Energy savings due to format adjustment and cylinder gap switch-off 385 nm wavelength to ensure best ratio between LED chip efficiency and available ink chemistry Operating temperature 20 C cool enough for heat sensitive substrates, warm enough to avoid condensation and additional energy consumption 20
