Drying, Curing & UV
Switch things up T
he new Hot Swap concept for LAMPcure and LEDcure systems from IST METZ allows users to interchange between both technologies at any time. LED UV technology will become an
established way of printing sooner or later, the company says. With the new Hot Swap concept, users will be in the position to change over from the established UV technology to the new LED technology or the other way round at short notice and at any time.
THE ADVANTAGES OF HOT SWAP TECHNOLOGY AT A GLANCE: - Conversion to LED UV. The Hot Swap concept allows a subsequent conversion to LED UV. To do this, the outer housing remains where it is in the machine, while the LAMPcure unit is replaced with a LEDcure system that has been designed as a cassette unit. Contact to the supply connections is therefore made automatically. - Cooling, available for air- or water-cooled systems. - ELC-X series. Both energy supply and control of the Hot Swap concept from IST METZ are based on standard equipment. The stacking concept within the ELC-X series supplies the power. These power supplies are both standard for LAMPcure and LEDcure.
INTEGRABLE INTO COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE MACHINE SYSTEMS Companies that are planning on investing in new printing technology may see themselves faced with a dilemma. Should they go for the conventional UV units, they can rely on the security provided by a long established technology. However, they may well miss their chance to make the most out of LED UV. Users who focus on this new technology too soon run the risk of paying dearly as they wait for the rest of the market to catch up, finally making the investment economically worthwhile. With the new Hot Swap concept, users have the option of using both
standard UV curing and LED UV. The UV units can be integrated into all models of well-known machine manufacturers.
CON-FEB17-IST 2:CON-FEB17-IST 2 02/02/2017 12:15 Page 1 This energy-eficient technology has the potential to save energy through
immediate operation without run-up time, a shutdown option during production breaks, the adjustment of LED lamp to production width, as well as the large control range of lamp output. Also, the diodes do not contain mercury, do not generate any ozone and solely emit UVA light, and the long service life of the UV LEDs can offer over 20,000 hours of operation.

DAYS, is once again taking place on May 15-18, 2017, at the company’s HQ in Nürtingen, Germany. IST METZ and
I
numberous big-name industry partners are presenting advanced solutions around UV, LED and IR. This time, one of the focal points will be on the printing of food packaging, with multifunctionality and recyclability as focus points. There will be daily live demos, lectures and site visits as well as the UV
Forum 2017 completing the agenda this year. Read more about the UV DAYS event on page 5 of this issue.
