Switchback UV Curing System

ScreenPrintingOnline.com

M&R’s Switchback UV Print/Cure System expands M&R’s patented reflector technology by increasing lamp output to 400 watts and adding infinitely variable adjustment from 100 to
400 watts-per-inch. Switchback’s reflector system is able to use three interchangeable lamp types (Gallium, Mercury Vapor and Iron). The change of lamp type is automatically recognized by Switchback. Operators do not have to be trained to change settings or move jumpers. It’s as simple as changing a bulb.

Since the change of bulb type requires minimal time and effort, operators can easily switch back and forth. This provides a perfect match for virtually every curing requirement, since operators can maximize curing speed and minimize substrate temperatures by selecting the appropriate lamp.
And because of the reflector’s design, when a jobs requires the curing power of only one lamp, a different bulb can be set up in the other reflector. This allows operators to switch repeatedly between substrates requiring different light sources by doing nothing more than activating the proper lamp. The ability to easily select the proper lamp and fine-tune wattage enables Switchback to provide the optimal cure at the fastest possible speeds. These curing features-400 watt output, infinite wattage adjustment, interchangeable lamps, simplified bulb changing, and dual reflector versatility-speed setup operations, minimize operator skill requirements and bring the best technology available to bear on each substrate type for the best cure attainable.
