EXCELITAS: UV LED Curing
Excelitas has launched an enhanced OmniCure® AC Series UV LED curing platform that offers higher irradiance, improved uniformity, advanced process control, and expanded wavelength options to support a broad range of industrial curing applications. The enhanced AC Series includes the AC8⁺, AC9⁺, and AC8⁺HD systems and is designed to help manufacturers increase throughput, improve product quality, and reduce operating costs.
Offering UV LED curing solutions for adhesives, coatings, and inks in demanding manufacturing environments, the series features advanced optics, patented LED control technology, and a compact air-cooled design. The systems deliver precise, repeatable curing performance while simplifying integration into both new and existing production lines. Multiple UV LED heads can be combined to create larger curing areas while maintaining exceptional output uniformity across the entire cure width.
The enhanced AC Series delivers increased curing power across the portfolio. The AC8⁺ platform provides irradiance of 10 W/cm², while the AC9⁺ platform delivers 14 W/cm² for higher throughput applications. For manufacturers requiring maximum UV energy and dose output, the AC8⁺HD system provides 15 W/cm² peak irradiance to support faster production speeds and demanding cure requirements. New 365 nm wavelength options are now available on the AC9⁺ and AC8⁺HD systems, further expanding application versatility.
Key benefits of the enhanced OmniCure AC Series include:
- High-performance UV LED curing for faster, more reliable production
- Improved optical uniformity that enables consistent curing results and reduced process variability
- Up to 60% lower energy consumption compared to conventional curing technologies
- Scalable modular architecture that allows multiple UV LED heads to be integrated for larger curing widths
- Advanced monitoring and process control for repeatable, high-quality results
- Flexible system integration through a compact footprint and versatile mounting options
- Industrial-grade reliability supported by high-efficiency VOC air-intake filters and long LED operating life
