When the lamp on your M&R or KTK press goes down, the whole line stops. You need a replacement that matches the original geometry, electrical interface, and spectral output—no compromises. We build custom UV lamps as true 1:1 drop-ins, keeping the same lamp length, arc gap, and reflector alignment so your cure stays consistent. What matters, technically We build these around G5 and G13 sockets—the two standards you see on most industrial UV curing modules. The body is high-purity quartz, with wall thickness controlled to handle thermal load and keep the arc stable. The spectral output is tuned to the mercury-vapor lines: strong 365 nm for penetration, plus solid 385–405 nm for surface cure, so photoinitiators cross-link without over-exposing the substrate. Peak irradiance is engineered to hit typical offset/screen energy density windows—often 600–1200 mJ/cm²—and the reflector geometry is held to tight tolerances to control beam divergence and keep hot spots out of the profile. Why it works on M&R and KTK On these presses, the real win is keeping the press running. The lamp drops straight into the existing socket and housing—no rewiring, no bracket changes—so changeover is minutes, not hours. Matched output preserves your cure window, which helps you avoid under-cure (tack, migration) and over-cure (substrate stress, yellowing). And because lamp-to-lamp repeatability is stable, setups carry over from one replacement to the next, cutting makeready waste and scrap. A few shop-floor details to get right Before ordering, verify the original lamp’s wattage, arc length, and ozone class. If power or arc gap is off, irradiance changes and your cure profile drifts. Make sure the reflector coating and socket pin orientation match your module—G5 and G13 are not interchangeable. Handle the lamp by the ends only, keep solvents off the quartz, and confirm the ballast matches the lamp’s ignition and operating parameters so you get a reliable strike and consistent runtime.
