Alpha is Renamed Alpha+ with Additional Features for Comfort and Flexibility
Linsengericht, September 2006 - Atlas Material Testing Technology, the world leader in weathering testing and technology, has made state-of-the-art enhancements to the Xenotest Alpha, renamed Alpha+, to improve ease of use and instrument control.
Equipped with a convenient touch screen display, weathering testing now can be programmed and performed with a touch of a button. The actual test state and the graphical progress of test parameters can be easily read off the full colour display. With the PC interface RS 232, the USB slave port and the SmartMedia™ card, data can be easily transferred. At the heart of the enhancements is the microprocessor control system with the latest generation of fibre optic cables that allows an optimal data transfer between process control and system modules.
Another benefit of the new Alpha+ is the simplified menu driven programming with ten free programmable tests plus up to ten additional pre-programmed standard tests. A rotating Xenosensiv sensor measures irradiance and black standard temperature at the sample level in accordance with ISO/DIN standards while a stationary sensor measures the test chamber temperature and the relative humidity.
The easy to use touch screen display, the reliable sensor technology and the multifunctional instrument features, such as an ultrasonic humidification and specimen spray system, prove the Alpha+ as a universal weathering testing instrument that meets virtually all global weathering and light fastness test requirements of the plastics, coatings, automotive or textile industry.
