LEDcure is a water-cooled high-performance LED system that optimally matches the different requirements of sheet-fed offset presses. It is a compact modular system that allows flexibility and versatility. The system is freely scalable in length and can be adapted to all machine formats and installation situations. It possible to use a LEDcure unit at different positions on a machine.

LEDcure completes the entire redesigned LED product range, which IST offers together with its subsidiary Integration Technology Ltd (ITL). Using ITL’s XT8 Booster technology, LEDcure is claimed to have up to 30 percent more power than conventional LED systems.

Other highlights of the new LEDcure system include the simple exchange of the optics or the possibility of retrofitting the LED chips.

With several printing demonstrations each day, the new LEDcure system will be presented live at UV Days 2017. UV Days is an in-house event for UV and UV LED technology held at IST Metz’s headquarters in Nürtingen, Germany. UV Days 2017 runs May 15-18.

Codimag will present the IST MBS UV LEDcure system for its label presses at UV Days 2017, with a Codimag Viva 340 press shown for the first time with the air-cooled system.
