AIA: Ultraviolet Curing Technology Facilitates CD, DVD Printing
Werner Kammann Maschinenfabrik GmbH (Kammann, Bünde, Germany) manufactures automated printing and cutting machines, which are used to produce a wide range of consumer products. This past year the company introduced a digital printer that finishes compact discs and DVDs.
As part of the system, Kammann incorporates a quartet of semiconductor light matrix (SLM) ultraviolet curing modules from Phoseon Technology (Hillsboro, OR). Kammann chose the Phoseon products, because they offer energy efficiency and low operating temperatures. The specific models that go into each Kammann printer include three independently controlled RX Starfire systems, each of which measures 150 by 20 millimeters, and a single RX20 system, measuring 150 by 150 millimeters.
