GEW to introduce new warranty scheme at Labelexpo

GEW will show the latest developments in UV curing efficiencies at Labelexpo Americas on stand 3505 and introduce its new Service+ three year warranty initiative.  

The company will launch the next generation of e-Brick power supplies that incorporate new design elements to increase energy efficiency. Customers can now select the power level required for the job depending on the properties of the ink, coating or adhesive at the appropriate press speed. Rather than being manufacturer-set, users are now able to select whatever power they need to print a specific job. 

‘The tendency has been to use full power to combat the risk of under-cure,’ said Brian Wenger, president of GEW’s USA operation. ‘Our aim is to reduce energy costs and prevent spoiled print jobs by using the minimum power required to cure, with extra in reserve for the more difficult jobs. We have achieved this through further development of the e-Brick electronic power supplies, UV lamps, reflectors and software and by developing a range of scientific tools to monitor UV output.’ 

Along with the latest versions of its on-line and hand-held UV monitoring systems, GEW will also offer remote diagnostics that enable minor issues that affect UV curing to be corrected via the internet, eliminating down time and service calls. In addition, average system standby can be reduced to below 15 percent through the use of GEW’s Greentimer facility. 

‘We will also be introducing customers to the benefits of our new Service+ scheme,’ added Wenger. ‘All GEW UV systems carry a full one year warranty from new. Joining the Service+ plan is a no cost option and entitles end users to increase their warranty to three years, subject to using competitively priced lamps and parts from GEW. Free 24-hour worldwide telephone support is included plus support and advice on UV curing solutions.’
