Slow furnace ramp and a drifting thermal field? You’re dealing with inconsistent sag, edge wave, and rework that eats margins. We built a short-wave infrared heating module to cut the cycle itself, not just chase temperature.</p> <h2 id="what-matters-technically">What matters, technically</h2> <p>We’re using quartz short-wave emitters to drive heat straight into the glass—directional, fast, with minimal convection. Aim for a 12°C/s heating rate from ambient to 680°C, hold ±3°C across the surface, and run at 1.8–2.2 W/cm² power density. The response time sits under 2 seconds, so the control system can track tight profiles without overshoot. That keeps the glass in the right viscosity window for bending, without soaking the furnace and the frame.</p>
