FAQ
Common questions about infrared heating for glass processing.
What information do you need for a quotation?
Share your substrat, ink system, web width, and line speed—YFR engineers will recommend a suitable solution.
What glass processes are suitable for IR heating?
How do I achieve uniform heating without hotspots?
How do I choose short-wave vs medium-wave IR for glass?
What heater distance and dwell time should I start with?
How can I reduce stress marks or distortion during heating?
Can IR heating be combined with convection or airflow?
What controls or sensors ided for glass heating lines?
Use multi-zone control, consistent emitter layout, and staged heating. Mapping surface temperature helps tune edge vs center zones.
IR is widely used for preheating, drying printed/coated layers, assisting tempering/bending, and targeted heating where fast response is needed.
Short-wave responds quickly for high-throughput lines; medium-wave can ofer gentler control for certain thicknesses and heating profiles.
Start with a safe distance and moderate power, then tune by measuring surface temperature and process outcomes at your target line speed.
Avoid excessive gradients by staging power, using zoning, and ensuring consistent glass movement. Stable profiles reduce stress and warping.
Yes. Airflow can help remove molsture and stabilize temperature,especially for drying inks/coatings or when controlling surface temperature is critical.
Zoned power control is essential. Non-contact temperature measurement and feedback control improve repeatability across batches or recipes.
