Atlas Increases Capacity in the Ci3000+ Fade-Ometer by 50%
October 27, 2009, Chicago, IL — Atlas® is pleased to introduce a two-tier rack option for the Ci3000+ Fade-Ometer®. The two-tier option increases the capacity of the Ci3000+ from 2188 cm2 to 3422 cm2, easily making it the most attractive price-to-capacity ratio of any xenon weathering instrument specifically designed for the textile market.
Other xenon textile testers have two tiers of specimens in a vertical configuration. The innovative design of the two-tier rack combines two sample holders in Atlas' trademark inclined configuration, providing unparalleled irradiance uniformity across the entire vertical exposure area. Each specimen opening is 4 cm x 14.5 cm, ample space to take instrumental color measurements. The specimen holders have a standard insert to easily mask one portion of the specimen for visual color evaluations.
"The Ci3000 is one of the most recognized lightfastness testing instruments for textile testing," says Matthew McGreer, Global Product Manager for Atlas Material Testing Technology. "With this product enhancement, we met our design goals of offering customers increased capacity without sacrificing Atlas' long-standing reputation of quality and uniformity."
The two-tier option is also available as a retrofit option for previously installed Ci3000+ instruments.
