Model No. :
Brand : Q-Lab
The Q-SUN Xe-8 establishes the new benchmark for high-volume, rotating rack xenon arc weathering chambers, delivering unmatched technical capabilities at a significantly lower operational cost. It is designed to reliably simulate the full spectrum of natural sunlight, heat, and moisture, ensuring accelerated testing accuracy for product lifetime prediction.
- Best match for full natural sunlight
- Large rotating rack maximizes sample exposure
- Simultaneous control of humidity and temperature
− Features
Realistic
- Q-SUN Xe-8 xenon arc test chambers are the ultimate research & development and quality control tool for testing materials that are exposed to direct sunlight or sunlight through window glass. With a variety of options, you can customize your Q-SUN Xe-8 chamber to fit your testing needs.
- The Q-SUN Xe-8 is a rotating rack, full-featured weathering, lightfastness, and photostability chamber, and meets virtually all major industry and OEM standards.
- The Q-SUN Xe-8 test chamber is designed to support dozens of different industries and applications to aid in the selection of new materials, the improvement of existing materials, quality control, or the evaluation of how changes in formulation affect product durability.
Affordable
The Q-SUN Xe-8 xenon arc tester has the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry. Its low purchase price, incredibly long-lasting lamps, and low operating costs set a new standard for weathering and lightfastness testing.
Easy to Operate
- The Q-SUN Xe-8 tester’s simple yet sophisticated design makes it easy to install, easy to use, incredibly reliable, and easy to maintain.
- Specimen mounting and evaluations are simplified with user-friendly and reversible specimen holders.
- Automated controls allow continuous operation, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, without supervision
- Self-diagnostic warnings and service reminders notify users when maintenance and calibration are needed
- Multicolored LED allows tester status to be viewed from a distance
- LIGHT/YEAR® lamps are warrantied for 8,000 hours at normal irradiance
Reliable and Easy to Maintain & Repair
Q-SUN Xe-8 subsystems are modular, easy to troubleshoot, and even easier to replace. The Q-SUN Xe-8 is 100% aircooled, for maximum simplicity and reliability. All maintenance and basic repairs can be performed from the front or top of the tester. This saves significantly on the amount of laboratory floor space needed. Typical maintenance and repair of Q-SUN Xe-8 testers is simple enough that you don’t need a field technician (but we’re here if you need us).
