Infrared lamp and infrared temperature measuring device
An infrared lamp with stand and an infrared temperature measuring device are required for hardening the 2-component metallic filler for the glue and rivet repair method.
This equipment guarantees hardening of the 2-component metallic filler quickly and professionally in three work stages.
This equipment is essential to prevent adhesion problems and/or visible caving during application of the 2-component metallic filler.
The infrared lamp dries the filler, and the temperature measuring device monitors and checks the three-stage drying process of the 2-component metallic filler.
