Short Wavelength Lamps

These lamps are generally used in applications where a product is to be heated or cured (These lamps may be operated in horizontal or vertical orientations)

a. Heat treating metals

b. Annealing metals

c. Spot welding metals and plastics

d. Localized softening plastic for bending or forming

e. Curing silicone and other rubber extrusions

f. Limitations

Medium Wavelength Lamps

a. These lamps are generally used in applications where a surface needs to be dried.

b. High speed drying water or solvent based ink.

c. Removing water after coil coating

d. Heating substances such as Teflon that do not absorb short wavelength

e. Heating lighter colored surfaces

f. Limitations

g. These lamps may only be operated in a horizontal orientation.

Rapid Response

The lamps (both short wave length and medium wavelength) have a low mass tungston wire filament that heats immediately when voltage is applied. This low thermal mass allows the heaters to reach the operating temperature in 1 to 3 seconds when voltage is initially applied and to

respond with the same rapidity when voltage is varied. This ability to change heat output almost instantaneously make them a superior choice in applications where operating conditions such as line speed can change rapidly and the heat must follow this change.

Long Lamp Life

Typical lamps will operate for 5000 hours at rated voltage. This predicted life will be affected by the actual voltage applied. Over voltage will significantly decrease the life and operating at less than rated voltage will increase the life.

All the lamps enclose the tungsten filament in a quartz envelope that is transparent to the infrared energy. It must be kept free of containments such as oil to prevent premature lamp failure. The quartz will not absorb the infrared but the oil contaminate will and the lamp envelope will

heat in the area of contamination. Wiping the lamp down with a clean cloth and alcohol will eliminate the contamination.
