Over the next few weeks, IST METZ is exhibiting UV, LED UV and excimer solutions at several exhibitions. The company’s exhibition appearances not only offer the opportunity to find out about the latest developments in the industry, but to also to talk directly to the company’s colleagues who can offer customised solutions and answers to any questions.
IST METZ is exhibiting at PRINTING United Expo, DREMA trade fair, Indian Printers Summit, National Coil Coating Association, FACHPACK, Association for Roll-to-Roll Converters, The Battery Show North America and KOMPOZYT-EXPO® Trade Fair. Visitors can learn about the following solutions:
SMARTcure
SMARTcure is the company’s innovative AI-supported curing assistant that determines the optimum principle instead of the maximum application-specific principle and optimally controls the dryer based on the parameters from the pre-press stage – for a revolutionary UV curing process. The required data transfer between the plant and the cloud creates a system that can provide operating data for maintenance in addition to an assistance function – all with the aim of establishing modern and environmentally friendly work processes.
FREEcure
The company has revolutionised and further developed lamp technology from the Swabian town of Nürtingen and thus also found an answer to the new printing ink regulation: the patented FREEcure system, which minimises the use of photoinitiators or even helps to eliminate them altogether thanks to an extremely high proportion of UVC. This is particularly important and of great benefit in the production of sensitive products and packaging using low-migration inks. However, the extremely powerful system fundamentally improves the curing result and promotes energy savings – because the number of dryers can be reduced in many cases by using FREEcure.
UV Analyzer
A reliable and predictable process is extremely important for every production. IST has developed a measuring system for quality assurance that is suitable for both UV LED and UV lamp solutions: the UV-Analzyer. The combination of UV app (compatible for Android and iOS), measuring strips and analyser stick offers a handy tool for quality assurance and documentation of common UV and LED systems.
UV Technology Campus
Over the last two years, a new top-class research laboratory has been created, where the ideas of tomorrow are already being developed in the ‘original Swabian sense’. The centrepiece of the new laboratory is not only test facilities, but also a high-tech analytical laboratory.
