Kyocera has launched a new compact, air-cooled UV LED light source that will come to the market this month.

The Japanese manufacturer said its G7A Series was among the smallest devices in its class. 

The irradiation width is customisable to suit a range of printing applications, such as curing ink, resins, and adhesives.

Kyocera said that the device could achieve irradiance of 20W/sqcm, which it claimed was the highest among air-cooled UV LED light sources, and married that with high-speed curing performance.

The G7A can be scaled in 120mm widths by connecting multiple units, up to a maximum of 240cm.

“Through the G7A Series, Kyocera will contribute to space saving in a wide range of industrial printing and curing applications, while contributing to a sustainable global environment,” the manufacturer stated.

The G7A is made at Kyocera’s Shiga Higashiomi factory in Japan.
