UV Hot Swap Technology

The Hot Swap concept allows a subsequent conversion to LED UV. To do this, the outer housing remains where it is in the machine, while the LAMPcure unit is replaced with a LEDcure system that has been designed as a cassette unit. Contact to the supply connections is thus made automatically.

Either available for air- or water-cooled systems.

Both energy supply and control of the Hot Swap concept from IST METZ are based on standard equipment. The stacking concept within the well known ELC-X series supplies the power. These power supplies are both standard for LAMPcure and LEDcure.

Companies that are planning on investing in new printing technology may see themselves faced with a dilemma. Should they go for the conventional UV units, they can rely on the security provided by a long established technology. However, they may well miss their chance to make the most out of LED UV. Users who focus on this new technology too soon run the risk of paying dearly as they wait for the rest of the market to catch up, finally making the investment economically worthwile. With the new Hot Swap concept, users have the option of using both standard UV curing and LED UV. The UV units can be integrated into all models of well-known machine manufacturers.

Energy-efficient technology with the potential to save energy through immediate operation without run-up time, shutdown option during production breaks, adjustment of LED lamp to production width, as well as the large control range of lamp output.

The diodes do not contain mercury, do not generate any ozone and solely emit UVA light.
