LEDMAX IP4-N Air-Cooled UV LED Curing System
Compact, stackable UV LED curing for applications requiring flexible curing widths and air-cooled integration.
LEDMAX IP4-N is an air-cooled UV LED curing system designed around modular emitter lengths and an edgeless stackable cassette architecture. Multiple emission ranges, configurable power levels and machine-control options allow Prime UV-IR to configure the system around the application, available footprint and required curing width.

UV LED Curing Where Compact Integration Matters
Not every production line has the space or infrastructure for a larger water-cooled UV LED system.
LEDMAX IP4-N uses an air-cooled architecture and compact cassette design to support UV LED integration where equipment footprint, installation simplicity and curing width flexibility are important considerations.
Emitter modules are available in multiple lengths and can be stacked to create the required curing width, allowing Prime to configure the UV source around the production equipment instead of forcing the machine layout around a fixed lamp length.
Key Outcomes
Integrate UV LED curing without a dedicated water-cooling loop.
Build curing width using stackable emitter modules.
Select emitter lengths around the available machine footprint.
Adjust UV output in 1% increments.
Select 385, 395 or 405 nm emission based on the curing chemistry.
Integrate with existing production controls using available PLC options.
Add nitrogen inerting or chilled plate/roller configurations where required.
That is a much more defensible value story than the existing language about “revolutionary advancements.” The product sheet specifically identifies the IP4-N as air cooled, edgeless and stackable, with 76, 110 and 160 mm emitter lengths.
Application-Engineered UV LED Integration
UV LED system selection depends on more than output alone.
Prime evaluates the machine configuration, UV chemistry, substrate, curing width, production speed, available footprint and controls requirements before determining the appropriate IP4-N configuration.
That process can inform:
emitter length
number of stacked modules
UV wavelength
operating power
cassette placement
PLC integration
HMI requirements
nitrogen inerting
chilled plate or roller requirements
The result is a UV LED configuration built around how the equipment actually runs.
Build the Curing Width Around the Application
Stackable Emitters for Flexible Curing Widths
LEDMAX IP4-N uses an edgeless cassette design that allows multiple UV LED emitters to be positioned together to create wider curing areas.
Available emitter lengths include approximately:
76 mm
110 mm
160 mm
This modular approach gives equipment designers and production teams more flexibility when fitting UV LED curing into machines with different product widths or space constraints.
Instead of choosing from a limited set of fixed lamp lengths, the curing configuration can be built around the width required by the application.
Air-Cooled UV LED Architecture
UV LED Curing Without a Water-Cooling Loop
IP4-N uses air cooling rather than an external water-cooling system.
For compatible applications, this can simplify machine integration by reducing the cooling infrastructure required around the UV LED cassette.
That can make the IP4-N particularly useful in compact equipment, OEM integrations and production lines where adding water-cooling equipment would increase installation complexity.
UV Output Designed Around the Working Distance
LEDMAX IP4-N is rated at up to 8 W/cm at a 10 mm working distance.
The optical configuration is designed to direct UV energy toward the substrate at close operating distances commonly used in compact UV LED integrations.
Actual curing requirements depend on variables including UV chemistry, substrate, production speed, lamp position and the number of emitters required across the product width.
Select the UV Wavelength for the Chemistry
UV-curable inks, coatings and adhesives can respond differently to wavelength.
LEDMAX IP4-N is available with:
385 nm
395 nm
405 nm
Prime can evaluate the chemistry and application requirements when specifying the appropriate emission range.
Control Output in 1% Increments
Adjust UV Output as Production Conditions Change
LEDMAX IP4-N supports UV power adjustment in 1% increments, giving operators more control over system output as jobs, substrates or production conditions change.
Multiple UV zones can also be incorporated into the system configuration, giving Prime additional flexibility when designing the curing arrangement around the product width and application.
Controls Designed Around Production
Integrate UV LED Controls With the Machine
LEDMAX IP4-N uses Prime Premier HMI controls with a standard Beckhoff PLC.
Siemens and Allen-Bradley PLC configurations are also available where required for OEM or plant-level controls integration.
Remote maintenance access can be incorporated into the system, allowing Prime technical personnel to review operating conditions and assist with troubleshooting when remote connectivity is enabled.
Remote Access Available
Remote system access can support troubleshooting and technical evaluation without requiring every service event to begin with an onsite visit.
Where LEDMAX IP4-N Fits
Applications
LEDMAX IP4-N can be configured for UV LED curing in web-fed, sheetfed, inkjet and industrial production environments where compact integration and modular curing width are priorities.
-
Compact UV LED curing for digital printing equipment where lamp footprint, emitter placement and curing width must be closely matched to the print architecture.
-
Stackable UV LED modules can be configured around varying packaging and converting widths while avoiding the need for a separate water-cooling loop.
