WECO International of Flushing, Michigan prides itself on having several fully equipped electric infrared oven testing lab test ovens on-site. The test lab equipment features a variety of controlled infrared heaters and flexible ovens configurations to accommodate many applications. Our innovative on-site portable test stand ovens by Ceramicx give you fast, reliable, and consistent material testing.

Our infrared oven testing lab lets you quickly determine the most suitable type of emitter and heating distance you need for a specific material, with consistent results. The test stand includes a range of three different emitter types, each housed in a Ceramicx modified projector. When you connect one of the selected emitter types to begin testing, your material will heat as you place it on the stand’s stainless steel mesh test plate.

Testing is one of the critical steps in developing a proper heating method and process design. Our infrared research and development test stand ovens allow users to quickly determine the most suitable type of emitter and heating distance for a specific material, with consistent results due to the simple, repeatable test setup. An easily adjustable height allows users to position the distance between emitter and material from 50 mm to 200 mm in 50 mm intervals, providing maximum testing range.

Our capabilities include:

• Testing material for emitter selection
• Testing for cycle times
• Testing flash off
• Testing to cure
• Testing for adhesion
• Testing for shrinkage
• Testing forming
• And many more
