Using an infrared (IR) lamp for glass cutting is an effective method, particularly for thin glass sheets or delicate glass materials, as it provides controlled heating to induce controlled fractures without mechanical stress. Here's how it works and how to use it:
How an Infrared Lamp Helps in Glass Cutting
1. Localized Heating – The IR lamp emits focused infrared radiation, heating a specific line on the glass. YFR's Infrared lamp 300 degree Gold Reflector ,which provide a line Target Heating . with Special process of Filament can make heating energy much more Stronger.
2. Thermal Stress Induction – The heated area expands, creating stress along the desired cut line. we are pride in the new Tech FMW Gold Infrared lamp . which even Higher efficiency than heraeus Emitter.
3. Controlled Cooling – When cooled (either naturally or with a damp cloth/spray), the glass contracts, causing a clean fracture along the heated line.
Steps to Cut Glass Using an Infrared Lamp
1. Mark the Cut Line
- Use a glass marker or tape to define the cutting path.
2. Position the IR Lamp
- Place the IR lamp 5–15 cm away from the glass surface, ensuring even heating along the line.
3. Heat the Glass
- Turn on the IR lamp and move it slowly along the cut line (or keep it fixed if the glass is small).
- Heat for 10–30 seconds, depending on glass thickness (thicker glass requires longer heating).
4. Cool the Glass Rapidly
- Use a damp cloth or water spray to cool the heated line quickly.
- Alternatively, let it cool naturally for a smoother break.
5. Snap the Glass
- Apply gentle pressure along the scored line to separate the glass.
- If properly heated, it should break cleanly.
Best Types of Infrared Lamps for Glass Cutting
- Ceramic Infrared Heaters (good for even heating)
- Quartz Infrared Lamps (fast, focused heating)
- Halogen IR Lamps (high-intensity, precise control)
Advantages of Using an IR Lamp for Glass Cutting
✔ No physical contact (reduces risk of scratches/cracks)
✔ Clean, smooth edges (minimal chipping)
✔ Works for thin & tempered glass (if done carefully)
✔ No need for a glass cutter wheel
Limitations
- Not ideal for very thick glass (requires laser or traditional scoring).
- Requires practice to control heating time and avoid overheating.
Alternative Methods
- CO₂ Laser Cutting (for precision industrial cuts)
- Traditional Glass Cutter + Snap Method (for thicker glass)
