LED-UV Equipment

Hoenle’s LED-UV technology is used for pinning and final curing of inks, varnishes, silicones, UV adhesives, and coatings, as well as for finishing or coating web materials and 3D objects. The systems are suitable for fixing and bonding applications and for both narrow-web and large-format printing (sheet-fed offset, inkjet, and flexo printing), converting and coating applications and can also be retrofitted into existing plants.

Hoenle LED-UV units feature intensity control, multi-cycle programmability, RS232 interface for external operation, and multi-language menus. Power supplies can drive multiple LED heads for sequential or independent operation. LEDs have a typical service life of 20,000 hours and require no warm-up or cool-down, enabling instant on/off operation.

For maximum efficiency and shortest curing cycle in bonding and potting applications, Hoenle recommends pairing LED-UV curing systems with LED-curable adhesives and sealants from Hoenle Adhesives.

The wide product range of LED devices from Hoenle includes:

spotlights
floodlights
line / large area curing systems
conveyor belt systems
irradiation chambers

Advantages of LED Technology

LED light sources possess a monochromatic spectrum and do not emit IR radiation. They are highly energy efficient and curing occurs at cooler temperatures than with conventional gas discharge lamps. This makes LED equipment ideally suited for use with temperature sensitive substrates.

Hoenle provides LED curing systems in several wavelengths, which can be perfectly matched to the photoinitiators used in UV adhesives, inks, varnishes or coatings. The different spectra of LEDs ensure safe and fast curing.

As LEDs do not require a warm-up phase, LED heads and segments of a module can be switched on and off without any problems: they are always ready for immediate operation. LEDs have a long operating life: The typical service life of a LED is longer than 20,000 hours (typical lifetime under specified operating conditions).
