Description

The modern benchtop unit, best-in-class for 3-D specimens, with useful accessories to tailor your SUNTEST towards your needs.

The SUNTEST XLS+ is used to check for property changes of materials and products caused by sunlight, temperature and moisture in a short period of time. The aging which, outdoor or indoor, may take place over months or years, such as fading, yellowing or loss of strength, can often be simulated within weeks inside a SUNTEST.

Benefits:

  • Premium simulation of solar radiation according to CIE85 reference sun
  • Simulation of window glass filtered sunlight or artificial supermarket light
  • Best-in-class chamber design for testing 3-D specimens
  • Easy-to-use touch screen user interface with 13 selectable languages
  • Pre-programmed standards for Quick-start operation
  • Black Standard Temperature Sensor (BST) according to ISO 4892-1
  • Automatic control of irradiance for various testing needs
