In our previous post on UV LED Curing, we discussed the many\u00a0advantages of UV LED Curing versus traditional technologies<\/a>. When specifying a UV LED Curing System, however, it is important to note that not all UV LED systems are the same. This post outlines important factors for comparison in UV LED curing systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UV LED Curing Systems Performance<\/h2>\n

One of the key issues in specifying UV LED Curing systems<\/a> is the lack of standardization in how manufacturers determine performance criteria. Measures like irradiance and energy density (dose) are critical to the performance of the curing system in your press, yet values given by manufacturers are not always comparable. Look for a manufacturer who defines how values were obtained. In our datasheets, ProPhotonix incorporates all relevant data and specifies how tests were completed.<\/p>\n

Ease of Installation<\/h2>\n

A key consideration with any new system is the ease of installation into your system. The\u00a0COBRA Cure FX Series<\/a>\u00a0has been designed to maximize the compactness offered by an LED solution. ProPhotonix has provided a number of mounting options and industry standard electrical connections to ease integration into your system.<\/p>\n

Ease of Operation<\/h2>\n

Ultimately, any UV LED Curing system<\/a> must be easy to operate and maintain. The COBRA Cure FX1 incorporates an innovative field replaceable window to avoid reduction of intensity exiting the module, as a result of build-up of material (ink, adhesive, etc.) that can occur over time. This feature allows for the window to be changed without the need for any special tools.<\/p>\n

Top Tips for Specifying a UV LED System<\/h2>\n

When specifying a UV LED system, it is important to understand that not all manufacturers measure performance in the same way. In your evaluation of UV LED systems, consider not just the stated performance but also information on how the performance was measured. Look for compact systems to ease installation and innovative features to minimize maintenance hours.<\/p>\n
