Hillsboro, Oregon (February 1, 2019) \u2013 Phoseon Technology, an innovator in UV LED technology, is donating LED curing systems to Clemson University\u2019s Sonoco Institute to help support the future generation of professionals in flexographic printing applications to have hands-on experience with UV LED curing, learning all of the benefits and capabilities enabled with UV LED. In addition, with industry partners, this will enable on-going research and collaboration in this exciting transition to clean and energy efficient UV LED curing technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In partnership with OMET Americas, Phoseon is donating FireJet\u2122 FJ605 light sources with Flex Tower and mounting brackets, which are installed in OMET’s Varyflex narrow-web press. This press is housed in the Institute’s Advanced Print Lab for hands-on training and will be showcased at the upcoming Open House, The Future of Flexo: New Year, New Technology presented by OMET. The Open House will take place at the Sonoco Institute February 6-7 in Clemson, SC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FJ605 is designed for press manufacturers and converters looking for market-leading performance and digital interface capabilities for tight process control and high quality printing results. The light source is equipped with Phoseon\u2019s patented TargetCure\u2122 and WhisperCure\u2122 technologies providing users with stable, consistent and precise UV output, along with a quiet operating level while maintaining a high UV output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Flex Tower provides a configurable power and control system for flexographic and narrow web applications, with easy installation for upgrading presses to the newest technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
