Introduction of the advantages of UV LED curing system
Compared to traditional UV curing equipment, the service life of its mercury lamp is only 800-3000 hours, while the service life of the LED UV curing system can reach 20000-30000 hours. The LED mode can only be turned on instantly when ultraviolet light is needed. When DUIY=1/5 (preparation time=5 irradiation time=1) is pressed, the service life of the LED mode is equivalent to 30-40 times that of the mercury lamp mode. Reduced the time for replacing light bulbs: improved production efficiency, while also being very energy-efficient. However, traditional mercury lamp curing equipment, due to slow start-up and opening/closing of the mercury lamp, affects the lifespan of the bulb, causing unnecessary power consumption and shortening the working life of the mercury lamp. What are the advantages of the LEDUV UV curing system? Now let's analyze it.
1. No thermal radiation. High power LEDs do not emit infrared radiation, and the surface temperature of the irradiated product will rise to below 5 ° C. Traditional mercury lamp UV curing machines generally raise the surface temperature of the irradiated product by 60 ° C-90 ° C, causing the positioning of the product to shift and resulting in defective products. The LEDUV UV curing method is suitable for heat sensitive and high-precision bonding processes such as plastic substrates, lens bonding, electronic products, optical fibers, and cables.
2. Environmental protection. Traditional mercury lamp curing machines use mercury lamps to emit light, and the bulbs contain mercury, making waste disposal and transportation difficult. Improper disposal can cause serious pollution to the environment. The LED curing machine uses semiconductor light emission, which does not cause environmental pollution, so the LEDUV UV curing system is more environmentally friendly.
3. Strong illumination. The LEDUV UV curing system adopts high-power LED chips and special optical design, and ultraviolet light can achieve high-precision and high-intensity irradiation; The ultraviolet light output reaches an irradiation intensity of 8600mW/m2. The optical technology and manufacturing process used achieve optimized high-intensity output and uniformity, almost twice that of traditional mercury lamps, making UV glue cure faster, reducing production time, and greatly improving production efficiency. The traditional mercury lamp point light source curing machine increases the number of irradiation channels, which leads to a decrease in the output energy of a single irradiation channel. The irradiation energy is not affected by the increase of channels and always maintains a high peak value.
Compared with mercury lamps, the LEDUV UV curing system shortens the irradiation time and improves production efficiency due to its highly concentrated illumination.
4. Low energy consumption. Compared with mercury lamps, the effective luminous efficiency of ultraviolet lamps is more than 10 times that of mercury lamps. At the same time, regardless of whether the mercury lamp is effectively illuminated or not, it needs to be continuously lit and the power is always consumed. However, the LEDUV UV curing system only consumes power during irradiation, while the power consumption during standby is almost zero.
5. Easy installation and space saving. The volume of the LEDUV UV curing system is only 1/5 of that of traditional vulcanizing machines, making equipment installation simpler and reducing the footprint of production sites.
