EVO5 E LED
The Vianord EVO 5 E LED is a PLC-controlled, stand-alone clamshell UV-A LED exposure system developed for the back and main exposure of large-format photopolymer flexographic plates.
Adjustable exposure time and UV intensity provide precise Back and Main Exposure, repeatable control across plates up to 132 × 203 cm (52 × 80 inches) and up to 7 mm (0.276 inches) thick.

Product Overview
Designed for wide-web and other large-format flexographic applications, the EVO 5 E LED combines low-temperature LED operation, automatic lid movement, recipe-based control and independently adjustable parameters for back and main exposure.
The LED source is available immediately without the warm-up cycle required by conventional fluorescent UV-A lamps, supporting efficient setup and consistent day-to-day production.
Compliance
The EVO 5 E LED is designed and manufactured in accordance with applicable European Union health, safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
The EU Declaration of Conformity and machine-specific compliance documentation are supplied with each unit.
Plate Compatibility
The EVO 5 E LED is suitable for digital, polyester-backed photopolymer flexographic plates, including solvent-washable and water-washable materials.
Analogue plate exposure can be supported only on configurations equipped with the optional vacuum system.
Exposure time and UV intensity should always be selected in accordance with the plate manufacturer’s recommendations.
Adjustable LED Exposure
Operators set UV-A intensity and exposure time independently for back exposure and main exposure. The HMI displays the resulting integrated-energy value for reference, while the exposure cycle itself is controlled by the selected time and intensity settings.
Low-Temperature Stability
The Vianord Patented UV-A LED architecture introduces less heat into the exposure process than conventional fluorescent technology, helping maintain stable operating conditions and repeatable results.
Immediate LED availability also removes the need for a fluorescent-lamp warm-up cycle between production periods.
Recipe-Based Operation
The intuitive HMI stores up to 24 plate-processing recipes, allowing frequently used combinations of exposure time and intensity to be recalled quickly and consistently.
Clear component-status visualisation, protected manual service functions, factory-setting recovery and programmable switch-off simplify routine operation and technical support.
Modular LED Service
The modular LED-tube architecture allows individual tube couples to be serviced or replaced without replacing the complete exposure array.
This helps simplify maintenance and supports long-term availability of the exposure system.
Preventive Component
Alerts
When installed and enabled, the stress-accumulation early-warning function monitors the operating time and cycles of selected critical components.
Preventive alerts indicate when inspection or replacement is recommended, helping reduce the risk of unexpected downtime.
Optional Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics
Optional remote monitoring and diagnostics are available through a secure industrial VPN gateway.
When enabled, the system allows authorised Vianord Certified Engineers to review operating status and support troubleshooting remotely, helping reduce response time and avoid unnecessary service visits.
Plate Format and Thicknness
The EVO 5 E LED accepts plates up to 132 × 203 cm (52 × 80 inches), with a maximum plate thickness of 7 mm (0.276 inches). It is designed for analogue and digital polyester-backed photopolymer flexographic plates, including solvent-washable and water-washable materials.
System Dimensions
Net system dimensions are 320 × 196 × 106 cm (126 × 77.2 × 41.7 inches). Overall height with the lid fully open is 245 cm (96.5 inches). Allow adequate overhead space for safe operation and servicing.
System Weight (net)
920Kg (2,028 lb)
Packing Dimensions
and Weights
For standard light packing on a pallet, allow approximately 340 × 210 × 135 cm (133.9 × 82.7 × 53.1 inches) and 1,150 kg (2,535 lb).
For industrial wooden-crate packing, allow approximately 348 × 212 × 149 cm (137.0 × 83.5 × 58.7 inches) and 1,350 kg (2,976 lb).
Final packing specifications may vary with destination and order configuration and should be confirmed before shipment.
Packing Weight
Light Packing on Pallets: 1150kg (2535Ib)
Industrial Wooden Crates: 1350Kg (2976Ib)
The weights mentioned above are for reference only; packaging weight may vary depending on the packing company hired for the job.
Electrical Supply
The standard electrical configuration is 380–400 VAC, three phase plus neutral and protective earth, 50/60 Hz, with 5 kW rated power and approximately 7 A nominal current at 400 VAC.
A 200–240 VAC, three-phase plus protective-earth configuration is available, with 5 kW rated power and approximately 13 A nominal current at 230 VAC.
Compressed Air Supply
The system requires a continuous, stable compressed-air supply of 7–10 bar (101.5–145 psi), with average consumption of approximately 70 L/h.
The standard installation kit includes 5 m of Ø 6 mm tubing. Recommended air quality is a pressure dew point of 3 °C and oil content below 0.01 mg/m³.
Operating Environment
Install the EVO 5 E LED in a clean, controlled prepress room at 18–26 °C (64–79 °F) and 40–60% relative humidity, non-condensing.
Plate storage and processing conditions should also comply with the plate manufacturer’s recommendations.
Colour and Customisation
The EVO 5 E LED is supplied in Vianord Black as standard.
Custom colours, logos, product names and branded graphics can be applied on request to align the system with the customer’s production environment and corporate identity.
