New 14mm Aperture Concentrator for InfraStake: Improved Fit and Performance

Written by Jason Dornbos | Nov 17, 2025 7:10:00 PM

We’re pleased to announce the release of our IS32 14 mm Aperture Concentrator, designed to provide greater flexibility and performance for InfraStake applications—especially in tight spaces.

Why This Matters

If you’ve ever struggled with fitting InfraStake into tight locations, this new concentrator is the solution. With a narrower end profile compared to our existing 13.7 mm option, the 14 mm aperture concentrator is ideal for tall bosses (6–10 mm) in confined spaces.

Key Benefits

  • Better Fit in Tight Spaces: The slimmer design makes it easier to integrate InfraStake where clearance is limited.
  • More Even Heating: Achieve consistent melting across the boss, reducing variability and improving weld quality.
  • Simple Setup: Previous applications that required reduced power to avoid smoke can now run at higher power levels.
  • Less Cleaning Required: The improved heat distribution minimizes residue, reducing maintenance and downtime.

When to Use It

The 14 mm aperture concentrator is perfect for tall bosses up to 10 mm tall, especially in tight spaces. For bosses taller than 10 mm or lighter-colored bosses that don’t require reduced power, our 13.7 mm concentrator remains a great option.

As always, we recommend physical testing to confirm performance improvements in your specific application.
