AeroLED features the same LED chassis and core components as GEW’s LeoLED lamp head, for proven reliability. As with LeoLED, the lamp head has tough watertight seals to protect the LED modules from moisture ingress and to make cleaning easy and safe. Every aspect of the design has been carefully considered to deliver robust performance and long-term reliability.According to GEW, two AeroLED systems have a lower electrical supply requirement than just one conventional arc UV system.‘The opportunities are huge, and we are convinced that LED will soon become the dominant technology in the narrow web market,’ Rae notes. Phoseon Technology featured its Nexus One sustainable UV LED curing products for fexographic printing applications. GEW showcased its air-cooled UV LED system AeroLEDNexus One premium UV LED curing lamps deliver maximum power and a “WHAT WE’VE MASTERED IS REDUCING THE NUMBER OF FALSE dose of UV energy for the fexographic markets where high performance is a ALARMS TO AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM”key requirement.
