AeroLED2 will be launched as a refined successor to GEW’s air-cooled AeroLED UV curing system, while LeoLED2 takes LED performance to new heights over the water-cooled LeoLED system.
The products will be introduced at Labelexpo Americas 2024 (10-12 September). The company will also highlight its renowned ‘ArcLED’ technology, whereby UV Arc and UV LED lampheads can be simply and 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.
A further benefit of ArcLED is that it enables the customer to invest in any combination of Arc and LED in the short-term, safe in the knowledge that the investment is future-proofed. The UV system configuration can be altered or fully upgraded to LED at a later date, and with minimal disruption.
AeroLED2
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 for more presses in the narrow web market.
AeroLED2 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.
LeoLED2
LeoLED2 introduces two power level options to GEW’s acclaimed water-cooled system. The regular power option offers modest gains over the original LeoLED, while maintaining backward compatibility. The high power option, however, brings game-changing increases in UV irradiance and dose over its predecessor, delivering unprecedented performance for the most extreme curing challenges in the packaging market.
LeoLED2 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 same connections and external dimensions.
While GEW will feature its full range at Labelexpo Americas, the focus will be on its label and narrow web products.
