Q-SUN xenon arc test chambers are full-featured lightfastness, weathering, and photostability chambers that reproduce the damage caused by full-spectrum sunlight, heat, and water.

The testers’ optical filters last indefinitely under normal use, unlike many competitive chambers. Xenon arc lamps are long-lasting and inexpensive. 

Q-SUN testers are the simplest, most reliable, and easiest-to-use xenon arc chambers available

Q-SUN® Xe 2


Xenon Arc Chamber    Rotating Rack

The Q-SUN Xe-2 rotating rack xenon arc test chamber reproduces the damage caused by full-spectrum sunlight, heat, and rain. In a few days or weeks, it can reproduce the damage that occurs over months or years outdoors.

The Q-SUN Xe-2 tester is a full-featured weathering, lightfastness, and photostability tester. It provides precise control of critical test parameters including light spectrum, irradiance, relative humidity, chamber temperature, and black panel/black standard temperature. Water spray is also an available option.

The versatile Q-SUN Xe-2 tester is the simplest, most reliable, and easiest-to-use rotating rack xenon arc tester available.

Realistic and Versatile

The Q-SUN Xe-2 rotating rack xenon arc chamber is a full-featured rotating rack weathering and lightfastness chamber. The Q-SUN Xe-2 tester’s xenon arc lamp provides the best match to full-spectrum sunlight.  A variety of optical filters are available to match nearly any global xenon test standard. Simultaneous, precise control of relative humidity, chamber air, and black panel/black standard temperature is standard. Optional water spray can be added to simulate the erosion effects of rain.

Easy To Use

The Q-SUN Xe-2 xenon test chamber is easy to install, easy to use, and easy to maintain.  Specimen mounting and evaluations are simplified with specially-designed specimen holders.  The Q-SUN Xe-2 tester is completely automated and can operate continuously, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.  Other features include:

  • Remarkably simple user interface in 17 user-selectable languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Czech, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese

  • Comprehensive self-diagnostic warnings and service reminders
  • Quick and easy calibration with patented AUTOCAL system
     

Fast Results

A product exposed outdoors to direct sunlight experiences maximum light intensity for only a few hours each day.  The Q SUN Xe 2 tester can subject test specimens to the equivalent of noon summer sunlight for 24 hours a day, every day.  This can highly accelerate the rate of product degradation and shorten test times.

Affordable

The Q SUN Xe 2 tester’s low purchase price, low lamp prices, and low operating costs create an attractive price-to-performance ratio.
