Getting High-Density IR Heating into Mobile Glass Brackets

Trying to cram rapid heating into a mobile glass repair bracket is basically a fight against physics. You’ve got zero room to work with and strict voltage limits, but you still need the glass to hit molding temperature fast. You can’t exactly haul around a massive power cabinet in your van, so we go with shortwave infrared (SWIR) elements.

The struggle with power and space

When you’re building a mobile unit, bulky transformers are your enemy. There just isn’t space. The trick is to squeeze as much wattage as possible into every millimeter of the quartz tube. We use high-density tungsten filaments to pack a ton of thermal energy into a tiny footprint. The goal? Get that glass to transition temperature in seconds. But here’s the catch: you have to play nice with your onboard power supply. If you try to shove too many watts through thin wiring, you’ll hit a voltage drop that kills your heat-up time. It’s a delicate balance.
