Kyocera Launches New Air-cooled UV LED Light Source "G7A Series"
G7A Series offers revolutionary curing performance and compact size. KYOTO, Japan, May 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kyocera Corporation (President: Hideo Tanimoto, "Kyocera")(TOKYO:6971) has developed a new air-cooled, UV LED light source that ranks among the smallest in its class*1 while providing revolutionary curing performance for applications such as ink, resin curing and adhesion. The G7A Series will be available in June 2025. Main Features - Achieves the highest irradiance in its class*2 - Contributes to space saving with market-leading miniaturization - Customizable irradiation width to suit a wide variety of printed materials - Stable operation enabled by monitoring functions for irradiation status *1: Among air-cooled UV LED with a total irradiation of 300 mJ/cm² or more; Kyocera research, March 2025. *2: Among air-cooled UV LED light sources for UV curing applications; Kyocera research, March 2025. Development Background In recent years, UV curing light sources have faced important challenges, including reducing CO2 emissions by decreasing power consumption, lowering ozone emissions, and complying with mercury regulations. Additionally, there is a growing demand for space saving solutions in today's manufacturing, which has led to a need for more compact light sources with higher curing performance. Kyocera's UV LED light sources not only have a low environmental impact, but also adopt an air-cooled system that does not require cooling water, even with high output. As a result, additional equipment such as a water-cooling system is unnecessary, enabling a more compact installation. Through this, our product contributes to greater efficiency and reduced environmental impact for various devices used in manufacturing sites, such as printing, adhesion, and liquid gasket. Features - 1. Achieves the highest irradiance in its class*2 By utilizing Kyocera's proprietary ceramic substrate with heat-dissipation as well as a module heat dissipation design that includes a heat sink, we have maximized energy efficiency while achieving an irradiance of 20W/cm² (at 0 mm irradiance distance), the highest among air-cooled UV LED light sources in this class. Additionally, by achieving a total dose of 400 mJ/cm² at 50 m/min, which is an important indicator of curing performance, we have achieved high-speed curing performance comparable to water-cooled UV LED light sources, all within a compact design. - 2. Contributes to space saving with market-leading miniaturization Compared to the conventional high-output G5H Series, the G7A Series has a footprint 62% smaller and a height 10% lower, placing it among the world's most compact (120 x 52 x 151mm) UV LED light sources with the same optical performance. The G7A offers a 30mm irradiation window, contributing to space savings while preserving high curing performance. - 3. Customizable irradiation width to suit a wide variety of printed materials The G7A has a scalable structure in 120mm increments, allowing the irradiation width to be adjusted from a minimum of 120mm to a maximum of 2,400mm, by connecting multiple light source units. This enables flexible customization of the irradiation width to suit a wide variety of printed materials. Further, the system can connect to external devices via serial communication, permitting fine adjustments to the LED irradiation width in increments of approximately 30mm. - 4. Stable operation enabled by monitoring functions for irradiation status The G7A Series features monitoring functions via serial communication, allowing for LED temperature, LED current, fan operation time, and accumulated LED lighting hours. It can detect lighting and system errors, and provides notifications for filter replacement and LED lifespan, ensuring stable system operation. 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.

Flint Group opens distribution facility in Montreal, Canada
Flint Group, a manufacturer of inks and coatings for the printing and packaging sectors, has opened a new distribution centre in Montreal, Québec, to expand its support for label and narrow web clients in Canada. With immediate effect, the facility will store and distribute Flint Group's water-based, UV-curable, and UV LED dual-curing inks, alongside coatings for narrow web applications, the company said. Previously, customers in Québec depended on Flint Group's Toronto facility for their ink supplies. With this new facility, Flint has not only bolstered its position in the domestic sector, but also doubled its reach in Eastern Canada. The new location is anticipated to expedite delivery times and also give its customers better access in the region. Flint Group North America sales and service vice-president Nicki Kerrigan said: 'This expansion underscores Flint Group's commitment to providing enhanced local service and support for customers in the Montreal and Québec region. 'The new facility will ensure customers benefit from reduced delivery times and easier access to high-quality inks and coatings - reinforcing our vision of bringing colour to the world by positioning our products closer to the printers and converters who use them." In June last year, Flint Group secured B grades in Climate Change and Water Security disclosures from CDP, a non-profit organisation that assesses corporate environmental transparency.
