Built on the Excelerate FC Series modular platform, the FC-200 is designed with Lumen Dynamics’ thermal management technology. Providing an irradiance of more than Watts/cm², the Excelerate FC-200 delivers the highest irradiance air-cooled UV LED curing system in the digital print industry, says the company.

Excelerate® FC-200 Series

Lumen Dynamics

The Excelerate® FC-200 Series is designed with leading integrators in mind, providing superior air-cooled, full cure UV LED curing solutions for single-pass narrow format digital print applications. Featuring highest irradiance and a compact design that is a drop-in replacement for existing arc lamp or water-cooled UV LED systems, the Excelerate® FC-200 Series enables customers to achieve high quality and fast printing speeds on a variety of substrates while reducing the total cost of ownership. What FC-200 Series Offers •   UV LED curing - Extended lifetime with higher energy efficiency, resulting in lower maintenance costs and less downtime. Enhanced reliability ensures consistent performance over the life of the product •   Highest irradiance (>9 Watts/cm²) - Supports high printing speeds without compromising print quality. Effectively cures ink at lower temperatures to ensure adhesion on a variety of substrates, including heat sensitive materials •   Innovative air-cooled technology - Easy integration with reduced costs, with no need for tubing, coolant, or external chillers/heat exchangers. Provides better utilization of production floor space while minimizing maintenance requirements and reducing risk of down-time due to leaks, water splash or spills •   Compact design - Seamless integration into existing UV ink-based applications, offering greater overall efficiency while using less space. Drop-in replacement for arc lamps and liquid-cooled UV LED systems •   Environmentally friendly - Dramatically lower energy consumption with no mercury content or ozone emission. Reduced carbon footprint while reaping benefits of longer life, higher productivity and safer work environments. •   Instant on/off - Extended lifetime of UV curing lamp and lower operational costs by enabling LEDs only when curing is required. Eliminates need for warm-up time or external shutters. •   Variable power adjustment - Absolute control of optical output intensity to achieve the cure and finishes desired. Turn-key solution provides out-of-box usage, more flexibility and simplifies system with elimination of mechanical attenuators. •   Integrated E-stop - Facilitates integration into printers by simplifying implementation with the inclusion of safety circuitry in the power supply.
