Abstract
A device ( ) for the thermal treatment of friction lining surfaces ( ) (scorching) is characterized in that at least one infrared light source is placed in the heating station ( ) for heating the friction lining surfaces. Short-wave infrared light of approximately 780 to 1400 nm with a maximum at 1200 nm is preferably used. A suction bell ( ) and a fan ( ) for removing the decomposition gas are above the heating station ( ). The irradiation can take place in depression or in special chemical atmospheres. An infrared thermometer ( ) supervises the temperature of the friction lining surfaces ( ) and eventually causes an elimination ( ) of parts. A cooling station ( ) is following the heating station ( ).
