Stop fighting with your oven’s footprint
Standard infrared lamps are great—until they aren’t. If you’re working with a cramped oven chassis or weird glass shapes, off-the-shelf tubes just don’t cut it. You end up with “dead zones” where the heat doesn’t reach, and that’s where the trouble starts. We fix this by building IR lamps that actually fit your specific machine. No forcing a square peg into a round hole.
Getting the heat where it actually needs to be
In glass bending, a few degrees of difference can be the difference between a perfect curve and a stress fracture. Or worse, a sag. If your oven is too tight for straight lines, we can bend those quartz tubes into U-shapes, arcs, or whatever weird contour your machine requires. This lets you tuck the heat source right up against the glass without smashing into the oven walls. The result? No more cold spots. Just a steady, even heat across the whole piece of glass.
The nerdy stuff (and the trade-offs)
Here’s the thing: when you change the length of a lamp, you change its electrical resistance. You can’t just bend a tube and hope for the best. We recalculate the wattage and voltage for every single custom shape. We do this so your lamps don’t burn out the moment you flip the switch. But there is a catch. If we cram a lot of wattage into a short, custom tube, that quartz is going to get hot.**Really hot.**You’ll want to make sure your ventilation is up to the task, otherwise, you might start warping your oven frame.
No headache installation
We don’t want you spending your weekend rewiring your entire shop. That’s why we build these as drop-in replacements. Whether you need a specific lead-wire length or a certain connector, we handle the wiring so it plugs right into your existing control board. It just fits. It hits your temperature set-points exactly where you need them for the glass transition phase, and you can get back to work.
