Focused On Your Goals Which Light is Right?
Atlas pioneers innovative ways for companies to test the
weatherability of their products. From our industry-leading
accelerated weathering equipment to the consulting services of our expert laboratory staff, our approach to the market is clear: Provide our customers with superior, easy-to-use
technology and advanced testing solutions to determine how long their products will last. Choosing the “right light” is one of the first steps in creating an accurate and reliable weathering test program. The Ci4000
simulates solar radiation using xenon lamps and advanced filter systems specifically designed for weathering. Atlas xenon
lamps are developed exclusively for weathering to meet high
performance criteria for their spectral
power distribution,
lifetime irradiance stability and lot-to-lot uniformity.The Ci4000 uses interchangeable glass filters that tailor the xenon light spectrum to match light conditions in your products’ end use environment.
The Atlas Vision
Shaping the future of the materialstesting world in partnership with
our customers.
Quality at Every Step
The Atlas Mission
Producing the very best instruments is not something we take
lightly. Every instrument must pass customer specified test
parameters and we visually inspect all xenon lamps and
optical filtration glass per strict quality procedures. We test every instrument
for material compliance before being shipped. The Ci4000
meets relevant CE, UL, CSA, ISO and EN safety and electrical
standards for both machinery and laboratory
test unit.

Making the Most AdvancedInstruments Even Better Common Applications
The Ci4000 is perfectly suited for testing: We’ve overhauled the Ci4000 to include a new simplifiedoperating system and an incredibly fast, fully-digital architecture
to produce the most reliable and efficient instrument we’ve ever
made. It all adds up to the most advanced and easy-to-use xenon
weathering test instrument the industry has ever seen. Automotive Materials Plastics Inks
Simplified Control Navigation
Paints and Coatings Packaging The new digital control system makes access to its most
sophisticated features available to operators. The Ci4000 delivers
exceptionally precise and reliable control of all test parameters
for repeatable, reproducible and reliable results. Photovoltaics Textiles including Industrial and
