Details

When Q-Lab introduced the Q-Sun Xenon Test Chamber in 1998, its flat array design was considered a major change from the rotating rack technology that was widely used at the time.

Less than a decade later, the Q-Sun family has grown to include several flat array models, as well as the new Q-Sun B02 – which updates the traditional rotating rack design to create a more affordable textile lightfastness tester for the 21st century.
Q-Suns are used worldwide for accelerated weathering and light stability testing of products used indoors or outdoors. The testers meet a wide range of ISO, ASTM, AATCC, SAE, DIN and other standards.
Each Q-Sun model has special features that make it the right choice for specific tests, product applications, or budgets. But all Q-Suns share some common “family” characteristics.

Simple and Cost-Effective
The design of every Q-Sun xenon tester is as simple as possible, making it easy to install, operate and maintain. This reduces both the initial purchase price and operating costs for the life of the equipment.

Large Specimen Capacity
Q-Sun Xe-1 and Xe-3 models feature a slide-out specimen tray that can hold unusual shapes and sizes, even large 3-dimensional parts. The Model B02’s specimen capacity is 48% to 92% larger than comparable models.

Efficient Lamps & Filters
The Q-Sun’s air-cooled xenon arc lamps reproduce the full spectrum of sunlight. They cost much less than competitive lamps, are easier to install, and have a long service life. Optical filters are used to realistically reproduce sunlight, sunlight through window glass, or other spectra required by test methods.

Superior Control Systems
Solar EyeTM Irradiance Control ensures maximum repeatability and reproducibility. Calibration is quick and easy with the patented AutoCal system. All Q-Sun models control specimen temperature, and many models feature chamber air temperature and relative humidity control.

Q-Sun Models for Different Applications
Model B02 is a new design rotating rack tester specifically designed to meet the requirements of ISO 105 B02 for lightfastness testing of textiles. Thanks to the simple, practical design of this tester, xenon testing now is more affordable for textile labs around the world.
