Product Overview
The SOLARY IR8S 12000W infrared curing system with distance sensor directs short-wave heat across a 2.2 × 1.5 m catalog baking area using two articulated cassette assemblies. Ultrasonic sensing gives the operator an additional working-distance reference during setup, while separate pre-heating and full-baking controls support a coating-specific treatment schedule. IR8S suits buyers seeking the IR8 family’s wider coverage with distance sensing, without assigning the ST temperature-controller package to this version.
Key Benefits
- 12000W documented output — Match emitter power and 400V, 3PH supply requirements to the repair workflow and workshop installation.
- 2.2 × 1.5 m catalog baking area — Plan a wider treatment zone with the dual-head layout; usable heat distribution depends on setup.
- Cassette A/B selection — Illustrated controls allow the operator to configure cassette operation and single-tube use for the selected treatment.
- Articulated dual-head positioning — The self-balancing arm brings the cassette assemblies to different panel positions; secure the braked base before treatment.
- Ultrasonic distance assistance — The S sensor package provides a working-distance reference when positioning the infrared heads.
Applications
Use this dual-head infrared system for localized refinishing of compatible automotive putties, primers, color coats and clear coats. Position both assemblies to match the repair geometry and use the coating supplier’s approved infrared schedule. It is a targeted repair-area dryer; the catalog area is not a whole-vehicle booth capacity.
Controls and Workflow
The illustrated IR6/IR8 panel provides only-one-tube operation, cassette A/B selection, timer display and memory, separate pre-heating/full-baking settings, and start/pause controls. The IR family also shows cassette fans, reflectors, self-balancing arms and 4-inch braked casters. The S version adds ultrasonic distance sensing for setup assistance. A temperature controller is documented for the ST version and should not be assumed included with this S model.

Model Selection
Choose IR8 for standard timed operation, IR8S for ultrasonic distance sensing, or IR8ST for distance sensing plus a temperature controller. Compare IR6 for a different power, coverage and supply requirement. IR6 is 6000W at 230V single phase; IR8 is 12000W at 400V three phase.
Setup and Coating Compatibility
Confirm the electrical supply and equipment manual, identify the coating and its required flash-off period, then set the approved working distance, head angle and available timer/control settings. Secure the mobile base and verify surface conditions using the measurement method required by the coating supplier. Catalog time comparisons and the 40–100°C range are not universal coating recipes.
FAQ
What emitter power and baking area are specified?
IR8S is listed at 12000W with a 2.2 × 1.5 m baking area. Distance, alignment and panel geometry affect the actual heating pattern.
What electrical supply is required?
The catalog specifies 400V, 3PH. Confirm the nameplate, circuit capacity, connection and installation requirements before commissioning.
Can the two cassette assemblies be selected separately?
The IR6/IR8 panel illustrates cassette A and B selection and only-one-tube operation. Follow the model manual for the permitted combinations.
Which sensor features are included?
Ultrasonic distance sensor; staged timing. Confirm the exact order configuration rather than assigning another suffix’s equipment to this model.
What does 2 × 35 min mean?
The table lists two timed stages associated with pre-heating and full baking. It does not mean every coating requires a 70-minute treatment.
How should a body shop select IR6 versus IR8?
Compare the repair zone, required output, available electrical supply and operator controls. IR8 has the larger catalog area and requires 400V three-phase supply; IR6 specifies 230V single phase.
