UV-LED
LED technology has only found its way into the field of UV curing in the last 2-3 years. the reason for this
were, among other things, the low power and the relatively high price of the UV LEDs. Recently become
However, very powerful LEDs are also available on the market at competitive prices. Through this
opens up various new possibilities for use in industrial applications.
UV LEDs have many advantages over conventional UV curing with mercury lamps, of which
some are listed below:
Advantages of UV-LED technology
- Clockability (direct on/off switching)
- no IR radiation, therefore low heat generation
- long lifetime
- mercury free
- Low energy consumption
- Adaptation to geometries possible
- ...
The UV LEDs used for UV curing emit approximately monochromatic radiation or approximately
monochromatic light (> 380 nm). They are offered in the following wavelength ranges, among others:
UV LED wavelengths
- 420nm (VIS)
- 405nm (VIS)
- 395nm (VIS)
- 385 nm
- 375 nm
- 365 nm
- ....
The UV-LED technology is used both in the form of spotlights (e.g. "Bluepoints") and as LED arrays for the
Irradiation of flat substrates offered.
Areas of application of UV-LED units are in addition to the area "curing of adhesives and casting compounds".
the wood and furniture industry and use in the printing industry.
