Ushio QIH480-2500/VS

is a 2500 W, 480 V quartz infrared heater lamp designed for fast, controlled radiant heating in compatible equipment. Its clear quartz construction provides concentrated infrared output across a 635 mm (25.00 in.) lighted length. The lamp features metal-sleeve ends with lead-wire connections, vertical operation, and a 5,000-hour average rated life.

Applications

Curing

Provides rapid infrared heating for compatible curing systems used with coatings, finishes, and other heat-assisted production processes.

Paint and Ink Drying

Supports fast, controlled drying of paints, inks, coatings, and related materials in compatible production equipment.

Semiconductor Processing

Provides localized infrared heating for compatible semiconductor equipment requiring rapid response and controlled thermal processing.

Scientific and Medical Equipment

Provides controlled radiant heat for compatible laboratory, scientific, medical, warming, and environmental-control equipment requiring reliable infrared output.

Solar Simulation

Can provide infrared energy in compatible solar-simulation systems where controlled radiant output is used alongside other light sources to reproduce portions of the solar spectrum.

Features

• Fast-response infrared output supports rapid heating and process adjustment
• Direct radiant heating concentrates energy on the target without relying primarily on heated air
• Non-contact heating supports controlled processing without physical contact with the workpiece
• Extended linear lamp design distributes radiant energy across a large heating area
• Clear quartz construction supports efficient transmission of infrared radiation
• Designed specifically for vertical operation in compatible equipment
• Metal-sleeve ends with lead wires support integration into compatible OEM systems

Specifications

FAQs

How does quartz infrared heating differ from convection heating?

Quartz infrared heating transfers radiant energy directly toward the target rather than relying primarily on heated air, allowing faster response and more localized heating than many convection-based methods.

Can a physically similar infrared lamp be used as a replacement?

Not necessarily. Replacement lamps should match the required voltage, wattage, overall length, lighted length, quartz type, end configuration, burning position, and other specifications required by the equipment manufacturer.

What safety precautions should be followed when using this infrared lamp?

Infrared lamps operate at very high temperatures and can present burn, eye, fire, electrical, and breakage hazards. Do not look directly at the operating lamp or touch it until it has fully cooled. Keep combustible materials away from the heating area and disconnect electrical power before installation, removal, cleaning, or servicing. Handle the quartz envelope with clean gloves or a lint-free cloth and avoid touching it with bare fingers. Always use the lamp in properly rated equipment and follow the equipment manufacturer's installation and safety procedures.
