Presentation Slide Number 11 29/06/2016 UV LED Discrete Wavelengths

Presentation Slide Number 12 29/06/2016 Why UV-LED?

Presentation Slide Number 13 29/06/2016 Process advantages Size Very compact No reflector needed Controlled discharge of the heat No distance between UV-system and substrate needed Retrofitting possible Non prepared machinery Can be integrated where space is tight Interdeck curing (Pinning) No exhaust ducting mm 30-50mm

Presentation Slide Number 14 29/06/2016 Process advantages UV-rays No harmful UV-C emmission Emitting UV-A light is not that aggressive No need for screening to protect product from UVC. Standard ray protection sufficient Because of this monochromatic light, the light shielding can be simpler

Presentation Slide Number 15 29/06/2016 Process advantages No Ozone O 3 UV-LED standard wavelength nm Ozone is only generated below 220nm No Ozone caused by UV-LEDs No exhaust needed No additional charcoal filter needed

Presentation Slide Number 16 29/06/2016 Process advantages Cold lightsource No IR emittance No direct heating of the substrate Also sensible substrates Larger scope of substrates No undershielding/ chill drum needed Easy integration in the production line

Presentation Slide Number 17 29/06/2016 Do you remember this?

Presentation Slide Number 18 29/06/2016 Process advantages Longlasting Longer lifetime than conventional UV- systems >50.000h* in comparison to h No down time due to lamp change *Meantime between failures

Presentation Slide Number 19 29/06/2016 Process advantages Modularity UV-LED modules can be configured as per request Highest variability in curing width Highest variability in curing length (Dose)

Presentation Slide Number 20 29/06/2016 Process advantages Energy efficiency Lower electrical energy at full cure speed Length adjustable for reduced web or image widths No Stand-by power No energy waste during stop or at intermitted operation No shutter needed No heat up / cool down period Immediate ready to use No down time caused by cool down or restart

Presentation Slide Number 21 29/06/2016 Environmental advantages No Mercury UV-LEDs consist of semiconductor material No heavy metal ingredients such as Mercury RoSH II compliant Reduced Energy Consumption Environmental friendly No harm for the process

Presentation Slide Number 22 29/06/2016 System advantages Homogeneity Constant UV output Thousands of operating hours without power loss (20.000h < 10%) No significant aging process as with conventional UV-systems Uniform UV disposition Arrangement of the UV-LED Modules guarantees uniformity across curing width UV-LED conv. UV 100% 2.000h h
