Introduction
In recent years, UV LED curing technology has received great attention, and UV LED light sources are gradually used to replace traditional mercury lamp sources in many application fields. UV LED converts electrical energy into light energy. Compared with traditional UV mercury lamps, it is more environmentally friendly, efficient and has low energy consumption. It is a truly green industrial technology for sustainable development.
1. Single-band precise output, high efficiency and energy saving
The characteristics of UVLED light source are single wavelength, high luminous efficiency and low energy consumption. It can directly convert electrical energy into UV light, and emits single-band ultraviolet light. The light energy is highly concentrated in specific ultraviolet light bands. The most commonly used bands on the market are 365nm, 395nm, and 405nm. However, the emission spectrum of traditional UV mercury lamps is very wide, and the ultraviolet spectrum segment that actually plays an effective curing role only accounts for a part of it. At the same time, the photoelectric conversion efficiency is low, the energy consumption is high and the lifespan is short.
2. Does not produce infrared rays and ozone
Traditional mercury lamps produce infrared rays and a large amount of heat, which can easily cause damage to heat-sensitive substrates. UV LED is a cold light source, which can effectively prevent the base material from shrinking and deforming due to overheating, and has wider adaptability to materials. At the same time, UV LED uses ultraviolet light with a longer wavelength and relatively low energy, so it does not produce ozone during the curing process, can maintain a good working environment, and is safer and more environmentally friendly than traditional mercury lamps.
3. Instant lighting, intelligent control
UV LEDs do not need to be preheated like mercury lamps, nor do they need to keep the lamp on for efficiency. UV LED can be turned on and used immediately, and the output energy can be infinitely adjusted and automatically adjusted according to the speed of the machine. It is very energy-saving and easy to control.
4. Long service life and low maintenance cost
The effective service life of UV LED lamps can reach more than 20,000 hours, which is more than 10 times that of traditional mercury lamps. The light decays very slowly, and the service life is not affected by the number of switches. At the same time, UV LED light sources have no mercury and no accessories such as lampshades, so they require almost no maintenance, reducing maintenance costs.
5. High flexibility of use and small system size
UV LED light sources can be divided into point light sources, linear light sources, and surface light sources, and the effective irradiation area can be customized. The light source equipment is small in size, and the illumination device and control host are very compact, eliminating the need for large mechanical installation space and pipeline construction in the past. Such characteristics enable it to adapt to various production processes and make the production process more efficient.
