This isn’t “heat for heat’s sake.” It’s focused, high-intensity heat—built to make resin cross-link quickly and cleanly, on the line, where every minute and every repeatable cycle counts.</p> <h2 id="the-power-voltage-and-sizeplain-talk">The <a href="https://henruite.com">Power</a>, Voltage, and Size—Plain Talk</h2> <p>Carbon fiber curing needs a lot of heat, fast. So our lamps are spec’d to deliver exactly that. A typical unit runs at 400V and pulls 2500W from a 300mm tube. That power density gives you a quick ramp-up, so you hit the resin gel window sooner and shorten the whole cure cycle. The 300mm length isn’t random. It lines up with common pre-preg layup widths and tooling zones, so you get a clean heating footprint—right where you need it—without overshooting the part. You get tight control over the hot zone, and that makes machine layout easier. Just keep in mind: a 400V, 2500W tube puts out serious heat, so your cooling and thermal management need to be properly set up from the start.</p>
