AMS Spectral UV presents Blade Series UV LED curing module at Labelexpo Europe 2017

The company, recently formed by the acquisition of Air Motion Systems by Baldwin Technology, will focus on the module which boasts a compact form factor and powerful optics to enable secure curing at high speeds.

Blade features segment control, as well as pulse width modulation (PWM) control for steady intensity regardless of printing speed. It is water-cooled for consistent UV output, and can produce up to 50W/sqcm of curing intensity.

‘Blade Series is the most compact, powerful UV LED system on the market,’ proclaimed AMS Spectral UV president Steve Metcalf. ‘Our all-new UV LED Blade technology provides affordable next-generation curing power through an innovative design that incorporates optics, addressable format control and power into a compact package that can easily be fitted to a wide variety of digital or flexographic web and sheet curing applications in the label industry, where space can be a constraint.

‘Power is expandable to 50 watts – a new milestone – and can be upgraded at any time as curing applications change and as new inks are brought to market,’ concluded Metcalf.

AMS Spectral UV also will showcase its X Series line of curing products at Labelexpo Europe 2017, including the XP and XO Series UV LED technologies.
