Air Motion Systems P3 UV System

P3 Web UV


The third generation of AMS’s award-winning Peak UV Curing System — the P3 — is a transformational addition to today’s high-speed Web press.

AMS Web UV Printing Features

The P3 Web UV™ system offers web printers total UV curing flexibility through a durable, high-performance system that is completely customizable to the press.

  • Recover thousands in annual operating costs by eliminating expensive gas-fired ovens, afterburners, chill rollers, and recovering floor space.
  • Retrofit easily for instantaneous UV drying at top speeds on virtually any existing web press.
  • Eliminate VOC’s and obtain “green” benefits from the EPA, and towards environmental sustainability.
  • Open the web to new production options with unlimited flexible curing positions.
  • Add transformational new coatings and stocks to the web’s graphic production capabilities.
  • Use up to 45% less UV power with AMS Dual-Peak™ reflection technology at just 400 Watts per inch.
  • Rely on proven water-cooled P3 UV™ technology for top quality and downtime avoidance.

Performance and Energy Efficiency

AMS was the first to introduce Dual-Peak™ reflector geometry, which allows high-speed curing to take place at up to 45% less power — debunking the myth that a narrow, focused band of UV is required to maximize the cure.

 

Dual-Peak™ not only provides the dwell time necessary to achieve outstanding cure adhesion at today’s press speeds, it reduces electrical energy consumption in the press room, which saves money and contributes to environmental sustainability.

 

For outstanding performance, all P3 Web UV™ systems come equipped with 100% stepless power adjustment available from 400 to 600 Watts/inch maximum-power configurations.

 

And using true mechanically chilled water instead of cheaper air-cooling keeps the modules and the press running cooler and lasting longer.

Unmatched Flexibility

The P3’s identical, universal UV modules offer unheard-of flexibility in the web environment. P3 Web UV™ Cassettes allow near limitless location of curing stations across the web. With the P3, there is virtually no limit to where the modules can be located.

 

Every P3 lamp module is interchangeable between the cassettes, no matter where they are located on the press.

 

Each P3 Web UV™ Cassette allows for fast disconnect, slide-out and re-insertion of the UV module, greatly simplifying lamp changes and routine inspections.

Exceptional Ease of Use

P3 Web UV™ module components can be changed, checked, or cleaned quickly, and without tools. UV lamps snap in easily. Each module tracks its lamp hours automatically, regardless of changes in position.

 

The P3 UV modules slide into position in seconds
with a guaranteed plug-and-play locking mechanism. There are no multiple disconnects for air, water, and electrical. Even on the largest formats, a single operator can reposition a module without calling for assistance.

Extreme UV Durability

The P3 Web UV™ System was designed to eradicate downtime and outlast everything in its class — critical requirements for modern pressroom profitability.

 

Reliability is achieved through Multi-axial Motion™,
a set of features designed to maximize thermal durability of moving components in the UV module, Self-healing Shutters™ that guarantee re-alignment of reflectors,
and In-line Anodes™ that protect against corrosion
of internal components.

 

Because all P3 UV modules are universally inter-changeable by the operator, they provide a level of system back-up and redundancy not possible from any other manufacturer.

Advanced Engineering

Like every AMS system, P3 Web UV™ is engineered to feel and function like a part of the press, not an accessory.
From innovative cabinet designs that require significantly less floor space, to efficient routing of supply and exhaust feeds, to the low-profile fit of the UV module within the press, P3 performs like no other system available today.

Next Generation Support

Our intuitive PC-based control system provides full graphical controls and run-time information to the operator. And our next-generation VirtualTech™ support technology permits our technicians to quickly monitor the system anytime, from anywhere in the world, to ensure smooth operations.

Compatibility

AMS systems are engineered to work seamlessly with all leading OEMs. AMS equipment is also available for easy retrofits on existing presses, and can be specified in any custom configuration.
