A clever modular basic concept combined with its extremely robust and compact design allows the user maximum flexibility and versatility. The system is freely scalable in length and can be adapted to all machine formats and installation situations. This makes it possible to use a LUV unit at different positions on a machine. In combination with decades of experience in tailor-made machine integration, the compact design ensures the user access to important areas of the printing press at any time.
The LUV completes the entire redesigned LED solution range, which IST offers together with its subsidiary IST INTECH. Synergies between the two companies increasingly come into effect, such as XT8 Booster. Thanks to the booster technology, the LUV has up to 30% more power than conventional LED systems. Other highlights of the LUV include the simple exchange of the optics or the possibility of retrofitting the LED chips.
Performance paired with flexibility
At the usual distance of 50 mm to 100 mm from the substrate, the new LEDcure offers a very high performance in sheetfed offset printing. This is not only due to the maximum irradiation intensity, the so-called peak, but the wide irradiation field of the LUV4 also offers an extra drying time, also called dose. It is often as decisive for efficient curing of the LED colours and lacquers as the peak. As a result, customers and suppliers of consumables have more flexibility in the design and choice of paints and varnishes.
