Infrared Across All Industries
From Egg Incubation to Forming Wind Turbine Blades
As you observe your surroundings, you may be surprised by the extensive use of infrared heat technology used to form every day items and components. Your hot lunch stays warm at the delicatessen counter thanks to infrared heat. The electronics in your computer are bonded and formed using infrared heat. your car’s interior was formed using infrared. Even the airplanes flying overhead have a fuselage manufactured using infrared technology.
WECO engineers work with clients every day to help them determine which infrared heat technology will meet their industry’s needs efficiently and affordably. From heating parts the size of a contact lens to creating parts the size of a swimming pool, we have the solution to your needs.
