Labelexpo: GEW to highlight next-gen LED systems

The AeroLED2 will be introduced as a successor to GEW’s air-cooled AeroLED UV curing system, while LeoLED2 succeeds the water-cooled LeoLED system.

The AeroLED2 delivers an increased power level when compared to the original AeroLED model, for faster printing across more applications. It is also newly available for wider web widths, to cater to more presses in the narrow web market. It maintains the key attributes of the earlier model: it is ArcLED compatible, meaning that it can easily be interchanged with GEW’s Arc lamp systems, and it maintains GEW’s unique centralised fan cooling architecture.

The LeoLED2 will introduce two power level options to GEW’s water-cooled system. The regular power option offers modest gains over the original LeoLED, while maintaining backward compatibility. The high-power option, however, increases in UV irradiance and dose over its predecessor, delivering performance for curing challenges in the packaging market. It maintains the key attributes of the earlier model: it is ArcLED compatible, meaning that it can easily be interchanged with GEW’s Arc lamp systems, and the same level of temperature control and condensation protection. It is also fully backward compatible with LeoLED, featuring the exact same connections and external dimensions.

While GEW will feature its broader product range at Labelexpo India, the focus will be on its label and narrow web products. GEW is able to offer a solution for almost various printing, coating and converting applications, due to its product range across both UV Arc and UV LED curing technologies.

GEW will also highlight its ArcLED technology, whereby UV Arc and UV LED lamp heads can be quickly interchanged on a press. ArcLED capability is available with almost every type of GEW system installation, whether for narrow web, mid or wide web machinery, and across a broad range of applications. With ArcLED, both Arc and LED cassettes are compatible with the same power supply and fit in the same housing, for ultimate press flexibility.
