UV output boosts 16% for
inkjet curing
A 16% increase in energy output has been achieved for a ground-breaking
ultra-violet (UV) curing system for inkjet printing.
With the introduction of its 140 and 170 models, UK-based developer Integration
Technology Ltd (ITL) has broadened the scope of its acclaimed SubZero emitter
range, boosting UV output by 16%, delivering 230% more UV energy than the
existing SubZero 085.
Uptake of the SubZero range has
been strong, driven by a small footprint and ultra-light weight enabling the
development of miniature UV inkjet systems, not possible until now.
With arc lengths of just 25mm (1.0in), 55mm (2.2ins) and 85mm (3.4ins), SubZero
emitters are ideally suited to medium size printer/plotters and marking and
encoding applications using 20mm inkjet heads.
Advanced new materials and
enhanced optics to optimise the reflector and quartz means that the new SubZero
140 and 170 lamps (with 140mm or 170mm cure lengths) can offer up to 16%
increase in UV output, delivering 230% more UV energy than the existing SubZero
085 whilst maintaining the small footprint required for easy integration.
The 140 and 170 can be supplied with the proven SubZero integral high-speed
electronic shutter. This system features a programmed electronic actuation
ensuring a fast cycle time (80ms) with inertia-less braking, enabling the
shutter to be closed or opened during the print cycle without transmitting
vibration to the print engine.
Detailed research and lengthy cycle testing at ITL has further enabled
exceptional service life, eliminating unnecessary downtime and maintenance.
Intense commitment to R&D has positioned the ITL brand globally as a byword in
innovation and quality.
Founded in 2000, it designs and assembles a growing range of UV curing
solutions for a variety of inkjet printing and industrial applications.
The company - winner of a 2009 Queens's Award for International Trade - serves
the industry's foremost OEMs, integrators and system developers and provides
support from regional offices in Europe, the USA and Far East.
