1 THE UV CURING FUTURE: UV-LEDS MAXIMIZE UPTIME FOR CONVERTING Kevin Joesel, April , ICE Orlando FL

2 Semray The UV LED Plug & Play Revolution Developed with the end-user in mind 2

3 UV LED CURING ADVANTAGES Low energy costs More flexibility to run heat sensitive substrates due to lower operating temperatures Increased uptime and reduced maintenance costs due to long life (claims of 10,000 to 20,000 + hours) Better process control and less product waste via digital On/Off control The power or peak intensity, of UV LEDs for curing applications is advancing rapidly (12% increase per year) enabling high speed converting applications! 3 Vorname Nachname Abteilung eintragen

4 ADVANTAGES OF SEMRAY UV LED CURING FOR CONVERTING Higher Productivity Higher Output Convenient Retrofit Greater Flexibility Improved Performance ONE UV LED segment ONE backplane ONE data cable ONE power cable Independent of the width 4 5/3/2017 Presentation title Author Department

5 1. IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY PLUG & PLAY The backplane is firmly attached to your machinery and incorporates the cable connections required for communication and power supply. Insert as many UV LED segments as you need into the backplane via the plug & play system and replace with ease as and when necessary up to 90 inches (2.25m) 5

6 1. IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY PLUG & PLAY Fast exchange of individual segments No tools needed No disconnection of data or power cable necessary Your Benefits: Minimize downtime, increase production rates, reduced time and expense for maintenance, and easier integration into converting production lines. 6

7 2. IMPROVE OUTPUT INPUT Semray micro-optics redirects wasted stray light to maximum effect with an exit angle of 60 instead of 120 degrees for all available wavelengths. Your Benefits: Easy to optimize UV curing converting processes and improved flexibility for running a variety of products requiring different working distances and intensity. 7

8 3. CONVENIENT / QUICK RETROFIT UPGRADEABILITY Semray features replaceable UV LED channels, giving you the freedom to change to the latest UV LED chip technology or even different wavelengths. Our Heraeus Service Team is on hand to help with upgrades. Your Benefits: Easy to upgrade to take advantage of technology advances and lower replacement costs. 8

9 4. IMPROVE FLEXIBILITY FREEDOM Semray enables you to respond to new customer requirements with lightning speed, simply by inserting or removing more segments, each 77mm wide, in the backplane. Adjust cure width to match machine width, change wavelengths, extend working clearance, and/or increase process speed. 77mm width per segment Your Benefits: Ability to expand product capabilities for competitive advantage and increased profitability. 9

10 5. IMPROVED PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY Exploit advanced materials knowledge, design, and LED technology Micro-optics developed in-house In-house chip-on-board manufacturing In-house system engineering and production in our factory Self-regulating cooling system (SFC), based on CAE simulation High-performance solder pastes, other assembly and connection materials from Heraeus Your Benefits: An improved UV curing process and longer service life of your UV LED curing system. 10

11 5. IMPROVED PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY User-friendly, highly intelligent technology for monitoring temperatures and other operating parameters coupled with the quartz emission window make the UV LED system robust and durable. Stable for converting and industrial printing applications Larger emission window More LED chips and higher packing density Your Benefits: Easy integration and reliable monitoring, plus a safe and reliable production process. 11

12 THE REVOLUTION IN FACTS Technical overview: Model Semray UV 4003 (75mm) Peak wavelength [nm] 365, 385, 395 Typ. intensity at emission window [W/cm 2 ] Power [W] 14* 160 (385/395nm) 130 (365nm) Emission window [mm] Power consumption [W] 750 per segment Dimensions (W D H) [mm] Communication Noise level [db] Analog and RS485 MODBUS < 68dbA * measured at 395 nm 12

13 THE BENEFITS AT A GLANCE Increased productivity Increased uptime thanks to plug & play concept Higher output via reliable and maximized UV energy with minimum wasted stray light for different wavelengths Unique flexibility Fits to most machine width and working distance due to flexible UV LED segment concept and special advanced micro-optics. Innovative retrofitting and conversion Global technical support 13

14 THIS IS SEMRAY : COMPLEXITY MADE SIMPLE. Rely on Innovation. The first revolution that is easy for you! The smart lamps comprise ONE UV LED segment (or more, as required) mounted on ONE backplane per curing width connected by only ONE data cable and ONE power cable per backplane. Everything for your converting productivity advantage. 14
