IR-A

Infrared A (IR-A) describes the range of short-wave radiation adjacent to the visible part of the spectrum, with wavelengths between 780 nm and 1,400 nm. IR-A is applied for many contact-free thermal processes.

The high power density of Ushio’s IR-A lamps make these wavelengths the preferred choice for rapid thermal processing (RTP) applications in the semiconductor industry, as well as for PET bottle blow moulding in the thermoforming industry. All Ushio infrared A (IR-A) lamps are manufactured using the highest quality materials, and many of them are handmade, meticulously constructed by our elite production team.

Ushio’s IR lamps are designed in such a way to obtain a specific power at a certain voltage. The operational lifetime of your lamp depends directly on that. A frequent load change in voltage can result in a shorter lifetime for your lamp. Operation at over-voltage will decrease the lifetime significantly. With that in mind, if you enter into discussion with Ushio about your specific application, our experts can design an IR lamp with your exact needs in mind. Ushio can adapt the production and handling of any IR lamp in such a way that its lifetime will not be affected by load changes.
