Stop Fighting Your Furnace Layout
Let’s be honest: standard infrared lamps are great until you actually try to fit them into a non-standard furnace. If your nip roller preheat section is a tight squeeze, off-the-shelf tubes just aren’t going to cut it. You end up staring at a gap that’s too small or a lamp that’s just a few inches too long. We fix that by building lamps to your exact footprint. No guessing, no “making it work.” Just a perfect fit.
Making the Most of Every Millimeter
When you’re working in a cramped bending furnace, every single millimeter matters. We build our IR lamps to the specific lengths and shapes you actually need. This means you get the heat where it belongs without the lamp banging into the machine frame. The best part? When the geometry is right, you can nudge the heat source closer to the glass. That means less heat escaping into the air and a much faster ramp-up time. It just works better.
The Power of Shortwave
For nip roller preheating, we stick with shortwave quartz. Why? Because it hits the glass fast. If you’re running fast cycles, you can’t afford to wait around for the heat to soak in. We can tweak the wattage and voltage to hit your exact target temperature. But here’s a heads-up: pushing that much heat into a small space puts a lot of stress on your chassis. Just make sure your cooling fans or water jackets can handle the extra ambient heat. You don’t want to fry your other components just to get the glass hot.
No More Messy Wiring
Nobody likes spending hours fiddling with cables. That’s why we handle the terminations for you. Whether you need specific lead lengths or a certain type of connector, we build it right into the lamp. It saves you from having to modify cables in the field—which is usually how you end up with fragile connections that shake apart in high-vibration environments. Plus, custom shapes let us wrap the heating elements right around the roller assembly. This gives you a nice, even heat profile across the whole width of the glass. No more annoying cold spots that lead to stress fractures. We build these based on your drawings so they slide right in as a drop-in replacement. Simple.
