While GEW will feature its full product range at the show, taking place from 28 May to 7 June in Düsseldorf, the company said the focus will be on its latest LED systems for sheetfed offset and industrial printing applications.
It will also highlight its ArcLED technology at the show, whereby UV-Arc and UV-LED lampheads can be simply and quickly interchanged on a press. ArcLED capability is available with almost every type of GEW system installation, whether for sheetfed offset, narrow web, mid or wide web machinery, and across a broad range of applications.
It enables sheetfed press users to switch between Arc or LED in both the interdeck and delivery positions, to suit the individual requirements of each print job. With ArcLED, both Arc and LED cassettes are compatible with the same power supply and fit in the same housing for ease.
GEW’s Rhino power control system then automatically recognises the lamp type and switches the power supply accordingly.
The business said a further benefit of ArcLED is that it enables the customer to invest in any combination of Arc and LED in the short-term, while knowing the UV system configuration can be altered or fully upgraded to LED at a later date, and with minimal disruption.
Robert Rae, managing director of sales at GEW, said: “Our UV systems are renowned for their intelligent design, reliability, and energy efficiency, which sets them apart as the default choice for many in the industry, whether for OEMs or for retrofitted installations.
“This will be highlighted at Drupa by the number of GEW systems in operation at various OEM stands all around the show, and this in itself speaks volumes about why visitors should stop off at the GEW stand.
“We have so much to offer the customer, across such a broad range of applications and with such precisely targeted solutions. We have installed around 25,000 systems globally and this is backed up with over 30 years of experience in the field. With this in mind, we are looking forward to welcoming customers old and new to our stand, and having the opportunity to outline what GEW can do for them.”
