JP UV LED Curing System for Roland 700 Offset Press: Retrofit Solution & Case Study
Professional LED UV Curing System retrofit for Roland 700 offset printing machine – JP, a top China UV Curing System manufacturer, delivers plug-and-play solutions with no major modifications. Boost efficiency for your Roland 700 with our high-performance UV LED Curing System.
Case Overview
The Roland 700 series (including Evolution Elite/Speed/Lite models) is a flagship sheetfed offset press from Manroland, renowned for its high precision, versatility in packaging and commercial printing, and robust build quality. However, many existing Roland 700 presses still rely on traditional UV curing or powder drying systems, which create bottlenecks in productivity, energy efficiency, and print quality. As a specialized China UV LED Curing System manufacturer, JP has developed a tailored retrofit solution for Roland 700 – the JP UV LED Curing System – that integrates seamlessly with the press’s structure, requires no major modifications, and transforms its performance while maintaining the machine’s original reliability.
This case study details how our LED UV Curing System adapts to the Roland 700’s unique design, the technical parameters of the retrofit, and the tangible benefits achieved for global printers.
Roland 700 Offset Press: Key Specifications & Pain Points
Core Technical Parameters of Roland 700
Parameter | Details |
Printing Format | Maximum: 740mm × 1040mm; Minimum: 340mm × 480mm |
Maximum Printing Speed | 15,000 sheets/hour (straight printing); 12,000 sheets/hour (perfecting) |
Printing Units | 4–12 color groups, compatible with coating/laminating modules |
Substrate Compatibility | Paper, cardboard, plastic films, metalized substrates |
Control System | Leitstand PLC control with RCI2L color console and SPS bus communication |
Drying System Interface | Reserved dryer mounting positions at inter-unit and delivery end |
Key Pain Points of Traditional Drying Solutions
- Energy Waste: Traditional UV curing systems consume 80% more energy (most converted to heat), increasing operational costs for Roland 700 users.
- Uneven Curing: Common issues like color deviation and blurring due to inconsistent drying, especially for high-speed runs.
- Substrate Damage: Excessive heat from mercury lamps causes warping of thin films or cardboard – a critical flaw for packaging printing.
- Low Efficiency: Requires pre-heating (5–10 mins) and post-processing (powder removal), slowing down the production line.
- High Maintenance: Short lamp lifespan (1,000–2,000 hours) and frequent cleaning of powder residues add to downtime.
JP UV LED Curing System: Retrofit Solution for Roland 700
JP’s retrofit solution is engineered based on the Roland 700’s structural design and operational logic, focusing on “modular integration, plug-and-play, and zero core modifications”. Below is the detailed adaptation plan and technical parameters:
- Customized LED Module Design (Core Component)
- Technical Parameters:
- Module Length: 760mm (custom-matched to Roland 700’s 740mm maximum printing width)
- Wavelength Options: 365nm/385nm/395nm (optimized for UV-curable inks on packaging substrates)
- Single Module Power: 80W/cm (total power adjustable 0–100% via control system)
- Curing Speed: 0–18,000 sheets/hour (supports Roland 700’s full speed range)
- Light Uniformity: ≥95% (eliminates curing inconsistencies across the print width)
- Adaptation Logic: The LED modules are designed to fit the Roland 700’s reserved dryer slots at the inter-unit and delivery end. Using lightweight aluminum alloy housings, they match the press’s weight-bearing capacity and require no drilling or welding to the frame.
- Modular Mounting Bracket System
- Technical Parameters:
- Material: High-strength carbon steel (anti-corrosion coating compliant with RoHS)
- Adjustment Range: Vertical ±50mm, horizontal ±30mm (compensates for minor frame deviations)
- Installation Weight: ≤12kg per module (no impact on Roland 700’s original balance)
- Adaptation Logic: The brackets utilize the Roland 700’s existing dryer mounting holes and positioning pins. The quick-release design allows installation in 30 minutes per module, with no modifications to the press’s core structure (e.g., impression cylinders, inking units).
- Seamless Control System Integration
- Technical Parameters:
- Communication Protocol: Compatible with Roland 700’s SPS bus and Leitstand PLC
- Sync Response Time: ≤10ms (synchronizes with press speed and start/stop commands)
- Operation Interface: Can be integrated into Roland’s RCI2L color console or used as a standalone touchscreen
- Protection Level: IP54 (resistant to ink mist and cleaning solvents)
- Adaptation Logic: The control system connects to the Roland 700’s existing I/O interface via a dedicated adapter cable, enabling real-time data exchange (printing speed, substrate type) to auto-adjust curing intensity. No reprogramming of the press’s original control software is required.
- Integrated Water Chilling System
- Technical Parameters:
- Cooling Capacity: 5kW (supports 4–6 LED modules for 12-color Roland 700 presses)
- Temperature Control Precision: ±1℃ (maintains LED module temperature at 25–35℃)
- Water Flow Rate: 15L/min (compatible with Roland 700’s cooling system interface)
- Noise Level: ≤55dB (meets factory noise standards)
- Adaptation Logic: The compact water chiller connects to the Roland 700’s auxiliary cooling interface, sharing the press’s water circulation pipeline (or operating independently). It prevents LED overheating during 24/7 runs, extending module lifespan to 20,000+ hours.
Core Advantages of JP UV LED Retrofit for Roland 700
- No Major Modifications, Fast Installation: The entire retrofit takes 1–2 days, leveraging the Roland 700’s reserved dryer slots and existing interfaces. No changes to the press’s inking, registration, or transmission systems – minimizing downtime.
- 30% Energy Savings: Compared to traditional UV systems, the JP UV LED Curing Systemreduces power consumption by 30%, cutting monthly electricity costs significantly for high-volume printers.
- Superior Curing Quality: 95% light uniformity eliminates color deviation and blurring, while cold UV light (≤40℃ surface temperature) prevents substrate warping – ideal for packaging materials like plastic films and thin cardboard.
- Increased Productivity: Instant on/off (no pre-heating) and elimination of powder spraying/removal steps boost Roland 700’s throughput by 25%. Print jobs can be stacked immediately without smudging.
- Compliance & Durability: The system meets EU REACH/RoHS standards (critical for food packaging) and features a 5-year warranty on LED modules. Paired with the water chilling system, it reduces Roland 700’s overall maintenance frequency by 40%.
