Atlas New Advanced Control System Ci3000+ Weather-Ometer and Fade-Ometer at the ITMA show in Munich
Improved functionality, scalability and ease-of-use to meet exacting test parameters of the textile industry
Chicago, IL, July 2007 – Atlas Material Testing Technology LLC, the global leader in weathering testing services and technology, has added an enhanced digital control system to their Ci3000+ Weather-Ometer and Fade-Ometer giving operators more options, flexibility and control of their accelerated weathering testing. The instrument will be exhibited at ITMA, the international textile machinery exhibition in Munich, on September 13-20 in hall A4, at the SDL-Atlas booth 241/342.
“Using the same logical flow for ease-of-use, we’ve dramatically enhanced the operating infrastructure of the 3000 Series,” says Matt McGreer, General Manager Weathering Instruments Products for Atlas Material Testing Technology LLC. “Employing extensive research and customer insight, we’ve identified new innovative standards and incorporated the most up-to-date technology for the control system upgrade. This translates into a Ci3000+ Weather-Ometer that precisely meets and exceeds customers weathering and lightfastness testing needs.”
One of the most notable changes is a modern, full color TFT touch screen display with intuitive icons for easier interpretation of operating parameters and warnings. However, at the heart of the upgrade is the embedded control system that replaces the PLC controller of the previous generation. Internally, analog control circuits were replaced with a robust digital network for more reliable and accurate control and monitoring of the data. Memory capacity has been significantly increased allowing additional features and functions previously managed by external controllers – such as water resistivity and lamp water temperature. Now with a single control system, operators can be more efficient analyzing instrument performance, monitoring test parameters and performing calibration procedures.
The new system will be exhibited at ITMA 2007, September 13-20 in hall A4, at the SDL-Atlas booth 241/342.
