On the glass line, heat is more than temperature. It’s timing, uniformity, and repeatability. Get the heating profile off, and you’ll see it fast—optical distortion in bent windshields, roller wave in tempered glass, weak edges in laminated parts. That’s why we built our 230V infrared quartz lamps to give process engineers control where it matters most: inside the thermal window that decides yield. What matters on the machine is matching the lamp to the job. These quartz infrared emitters put heat where you want it—direct radiation, fast response, tight control. You drive energy into the glass surface efficiently instead of wasting it on air and fixtures. The 230V supply drops into standard industrial circuits, and the compact footprint lets you pack in dense arrays for even irradiance. In practice, that means less lag between setpoint and work, and a more stable heat profile across the width. Here’s why it plays out the way it does, process by process. Tempering needs a soak that hits temperature quickly and evenly. If the heat isn’t uniform, you’re buying thermal stress—and breakage shows up right at quench. Bending is all about controllable, localized heat. With these lamps, you can manage sag and keep optical quality without chasing hot and cold spots. Coating drying? Infrared hits the film directly. You shorten cure time and avoid the headache of edge dry-out. For lamination—EVA, SGP, PVB—the lamps give you uniform preheat before pressure and heat, so the bond line comes out consistent instead of guessing. And on insulating glass sealing, they can back up hot-melt or secondary seal curing with predictable thermal input, helping you keep the line moving without overshooting. One practical heads-up: infrared is line-of-sight. Set reflectors and lamp position to avoid shadows, and bake emissivity differences from coated or tinted glass into the initial recipe. If you plan the mounting and cooling path up front, the lamps will run reliably with minimal downtime.
