Q-Sun Xe-3 series

The Q-Sun Xe-3 series comprise a series of larger size xenon test chambers.

This full-featured, full sized, self-standing tester uses 3 lamps to allow large specimen capacity.

It is especially useful for testing larger 3 dimensional parts or components.

The chamber does not need to rotate the specimens on a carousel for irradiation uniformity. The samples can remain static and still receive uniform irradiation all through the test cycle.

This series is available in the following models:

Q-SUN Xe-3

• Q-Sun Xe-3 (B) - Large basic chamber
• Q-Sun Xe-3 (S) - Large chamber with water spray system
