Getting Your MHM Heating Lamps Right

When you’re hunting for a replacement lamp for your MHM machine, it’s easy to think you’re just buying a glass tube. But it’s more than that. You’re actually trying to recreate a very specific heat profile. If the wattage, voltage, or spectral output is even slightly off, you won’t get that same factory-perfect cure.

The Nitty-Gritty on Power

We build our lamps to mirror the original power density exactly. Why? Because if the wattage doesn’t match the length of the tube, you’ll end up with “cold spots” on your prints. Nothing kills a production run faster than uneven curing. To stop them from cracking under the pressure of heating up and cooling down a hundred times a day, we use high-purity quartz glass. It’s tough. It can take a beating. Then there’s the voltage. This is where people usually get into trouble. If you put a low-voltage lamp into a high-voltage circuit, it’ll fry in a matter of hours. We calibrate the resistance so the heat hits your target temperature the second you flip the switch.
