Atlas Introduces Largest Flatbed SUNTEST Testing Instrument

SUNTEST XXL's size and superior light source set new standard.

Atlas Material Testing Technology LLC, the global leader in weathering testing services and technology, has introduced the SUNTEST XXL - the largest SUNTEST flat-array instrument delivering better irradiance uniformity and control of test parameters in a flat-array screening device than any other in the world. Providing best-in-class performance at an affordable price, the XXL/XXL+ is the latest iteration of nearly 30 years of research and design of the SUNTEST product line.

Developed by experts in solar spectrum simulation, the new SUNTEST XXL/XXL+ uses special xenon lamps specifically designed for weathering testing. These advanced, long-arc xenon lamps are the best available method of simulating natural sunlight and deliver the most uniform, consistent irradiance in flat-array weathering instruments today.

Other manufacturers' devices are typically equipped with simple xenon lamps like those found in ordinary photocopy machines. These low-quality lamps often cause irradiance spikes, which can have unnatural weathering effects on test materials and skew the results.

The new Atlas SUNTEST XXL comes in two versions, with (XXL+) and without (XXL) specimen spray and offers the following benefits:


  • Superior xenon lamps

  • Superior exposure uniformity

  • Reliable, valid testing results

  • Unmatched capacity to handle large objects or numerous test panels

  • Easy access to the testing chamber

  • Simple programming with touch-screen interface

  • Built-in memory chip interface, allowing users to upload test programs

  • Competitive price



With its large 3,000 cm2 exposure area, the SUNTEST XXL allows users to test more samples at the same time. The extra-large exposure area allows large three-dimensional samples like bottles, assembled components and completed products to be tested with accurate xenon light.
