Thermoplastic composites such as organosheets, which are used in automotive production and in the aerospace industry, must be heated to the exact temperature before forming. Leister infrared emitters (IR emitters) ensure that heat is applied to the material quickly, evenly, and energy-efficiently – for consistently high quality with short cycle times and minimal energy consumption.
Why choose Leister IR emitters?
- modular design – ideal for complex geometries
- very good temperature stability on the relevant parts thanks to fast-responding metal foil radiators
- zone-specific control – perfect for parts with variable wall thickness
- high energy efficiency thanks to optimal wavelength (2–4 µm)
These properties make Leister’s IR emitters the number one choice – even for demanding applications such as hybrid injection molding, which combines thermoforming and injection molding in a single process.
