UV LED Exposure unit

QUICKER UV LED is a device for exposing photopolymer plates, replacing traditional exposure units based on conventional fluorescent UVA tubes that cannot ensure a stable exposure process due to fluctuations in light intensity throughout the entire workday and the lamp’s lifespan.

It is a response to the enormous market demand for high-quality digital plates. QUICKER UV LED guarantees stable and repeatable UV light exposure of photopolymer plates. A notable advantage of the QUICKER UV LED exposure unit is its ability to achieve flat-top dots for printing seamless tonal transitions.

The unit can perform three steps of plate preparation: back exposure, primary exposure, and UVA post-exposure. The HMI touchscreen control panel includes all the necessary functions for these processes, and the operator uses only one button. The unit comes with manufacturer-programmed parameters for preparing the plate, eliminating the need for operator experimentation.

How does it work?

QUICKER UV LED exposure unit helps eliminate losses due to lamp instability.

• Cool LED light does not emit high temperatures.

Effectively mitigates increased oxygen inhibition due to elevated temperature during plate exposure, which prevents any loss of quality, even in the finest elements on the photopolymer.

• Consistency in exposure with the same energy across the entire plate surface.

Uniform reproduction of all elements on the plate. During the back exposure, the plate achieves a uniform surface and base depth, ensuring all photopolymer elements’ stability.

• Robust and fully controlled UVA light throughout the LED UV lamp’s lifespan.

After setting the appropriate parameters, we are assured that the plates will receive the same energy throughout the UV lamp’s life. Losses due to lamp instability are eliminated.

• Limitation of oxygen inhibition – flat-top plate

We achieve flat-top dots and other elements on the plate. This is crucial, for instance, in applying adhesive for cold stamping, preventing adhesive overflow and enabling the creation of excellent details.

• Using a long-life UV LED lamp is more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
