UVLED curing exposure machine, as a new type of exposure machine, has received much attention since its inception. UVLED curing exposure machine refers to a device that transfers image information from film or other transparent materials to a surface coated with photosensitive substances by turning on the light. The different precision of image information on film or other transparent materials has different requirements for the light source of the exposure machine. At present, most manufacturers choose to use UVLED curing exposure machines, and the market share of traditional exposure machines has significantly decreased. Why is this? Yuntong Technology will take you to understand the advantages of UVLED curing exposure machines compared to traditional exposure machines.

Advantages of UVLED exposure machine

UVLED curing exposure machine has more advantages compared to traditional exposure machines, and the advantages are obvious:

1.Energy saving and cost reduction: When UVLED reaches a certain brightness, it only consumes about 15 watts of energy, while traditional lamps require 1500 watts of energy to achieve the same brightness. Even compared to UV halogen lamps, UVLED lamps can save 80% of energy, making them very energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

2.Long service life: The service life of UVLED curing equipment can reach over 20000 hours.

3.Wider application range: The light emission of UVLED lamp is not infrared heating, and the heat release is low, so it will not affect the transmission of media (such as foam plastic plate, foil film, pvc, etc.) that are easy to be deformed by heat in the printing process. In this way, the application range of the medium becomes more extensive.

4.Fast response (on/off) time: UVLED curing equipment does not require preheating and can be printed immediately after startup, improving productivity.

5.UVLED allows ink to solidify deeply: The wavelength of light emitted by the UVLED curing exposure machine is 395nm, which can allow ink to solidify deeply, so there will be no situation where the surface of the print is dry but the bottom layer is not. Printing on various media has strong adhesion and scratch resistance.

6.High stability: The printing quality of UV inkjet printing machines is closely related to the UV drying and curing process. The stability of UVLED equipment makes the output energy predictable and stable, so the printing effect is also predictable and stable.

7.High safety: UVLED curing equipment has no UVC radiation, no ozone release, and is not easily damaged.
