Two major factors that affect the lifetime of LEDs are temperature and current. As LEDs convert electricity into light, heat is created within the p-n junction, known as the junction temperature. For an LED diode to achieve maximum life expectancy, the junction temperature must remain in a safe operating zone.

Phoseon recently visited a label converter in Europe with eight printing presses and learned that one third of the entire energy consumption of the factory is attributed to the mercury lamps on the presses.

“Phoseon UV-LED ensures constant and efficient curing on all colors and at all speeds,’ commented Aron Huc, son of company founder Jacek Huc.

UV LED curing systems are ideal for the UV curing of inks in a variety of applications. UV LED technology offers increased productivity, operating economics, and sustainability for these applications.

In honor of the company’s 20-year anniversary, Phoseon Technology tells the story of how the company started out and how it got to where it is today.

UV LED offers significant advantages over traditional UV curing for direct printing applications, including smaller and lighter lamps, less maintenance and downtime.
