Getting Your Infrared Spectra Just Right for Glass Additives

Most standard twin tube infrared lamps just throw out a broad spectrum of heat. For general warming, that’s great. But if you’re trying to hit those specific absorption peaks in glass additives? It’s just not going to cut it. That’s why we customize the spectral output. We basically tune the lamp to match the molecular vibration frequencies of whatever material you’re working with.

How we actually tune the heat

We don’t just crank up the wattage and call it a day. To hit a specific peak, we get into the weeds with the filament composition and the doping of the quartz envelope. By tweaking the chemistry of the tube, we shift the emission curve. The goal is simple: make sure the energy actually sinks into the additive. You don’t want your heat bouncing off the surface or wasting energy warming up the chassis. When it’s tuned right, the heat penetrates deeper and your cycles move a lot faster.

Stop Fighting Your Furnace: Custom Twin-Tube IR Lamps for Tight Spaces

Let’s be honest: standard straight IR lamps are great until they aren’t. The second you start dealing with a non-standard bending furnace, things get messy. You’ve got awkward angles, a tiny footprint, and those annoying “dead zones” where your workpiece just isn’t getting the heat it needs. It’s frustrating. You’re fighting the machine instead of just getting the job done. Making the lamp fit the machine (not the other way around) When space is tight, every millimeter counts. You can’t afford gaps or wasted air. That’s why we stop messing around with off-the-shelf lengths and just build twin-tube lamps to your exact specs—right down to the bend radius. By curving the lamp to match your setup, you can wrap the heat source right around the target. It means you can ditch those bulky reflectors that usually hog all the room inside your chassis. You get more power exactly where the material needs it, without the clutter. The logic behind the “Twin-Tube” Here is the trick: the twin-tube design basically doubles your heating density without taking up more room than a single-tube setup. We use high-purity quartz so the energy actually hits the part instead of getting trapped in the tube walls. Depending on what you’re doing, you can go with shortwave for a quick surface flash or medium-wave if you need the heat to soak deep into the material. Getting them installed (and a quick heads-up) We design these to be drop-in replacements for your existing jigs. We also offer a few different wiring options so you can hook them up without putting any stress on the quartz seals. It’s a straightforward swap. But, there is one thing to watch out for. When you cram high wattage into a small, custom array, things get hot. Really hot. If you go with a high-density setup, make sure your cooling fans or water jackets can actually handle the extra heat. If the housing starts to bake, your filaments will burn out way faster than they should. Keep the airflow moving, and your lamps will last much longer.
