High-intensity UV weathering testing with expanded sample area and improved efficiency.
The IWASAKI SUV-W171 EYE Super UV Tester is a metal-halide UV weathering test system designed for accelerated evaluation of material durability and weather resistance.
It provides UV irradiance up to 150 mW/cm² with controlled irradiation, condensation, dark, and shower conditions.
The IWASAKI SUV-W171 EYE Super UV Tester is a high-intensity metal-halide UV weathering tester designed to accelerate weather-resistance and light-resistance evaluation of materials and products.
A water-cooled 6 kW metal-halide lamp provides high-intensity ultraviolet exposure with irradiance up to 150 mW/cm². The system combines irradiation, condensation, dark, and shower conditions to support controlled accelerated weathering programs for research, development, and quality evaluation.
Compared with the previous SUV-W161, the SUV-W171 increases effective irradiation area by approximately 20% while reducing equipment width. The redesigned system also reduces power consumption by approximately 20% and improves lamp replacement, maintenance access, sample visibility, and touch-panel operation.
Optional configurations extend the system to visible-light irradiation from 300 to 800 nm and LAN-based remote monitoring and operation.
A water-cooled 6 kW metal-halide lamp provides UV irradiance up to 150 mW/cm² for accelerated weather-resistance and material durability testing.
The 96,000 mm² effective irradiation area is approximately 20% larger than that of the previous SUV-W161, allowing more specimen area to be evaluated simultaneously.
Irradiation, condensation, dark, and shower conditions can be used to create controlled accelerated weathering test programs.
Controlled UV output and 90% or higher irradiance uniformity support consistent exposure across the effective test area.
Optimized system design reduces power consumption by approximately 20% compared with the previous SUV-W161.
A connector-type lamp system and redesigned lightweight UV unit simplify lamp and jacket replacement and improve routine maintainability.
Updated software improves visibility and operation, including maintenance and calibration notifications and a segmented display of test sequences.
A larger observation window improves visibility of specimens during testing.
An optional visible-light filter extends irradiation capability from the ultraviolet region into the visible-light range from 300 to 800 nm.
Optional LAN connectivity allows test progress and equipment status to be monitored from a PC on the connected network.
