About Lumartix
Lumartix SA is a Swiss manufacturer of environmental testing and simulation equipment based in Aubonne. The company manufactures climate chambers (LX-PAC, 120–1500 L, -70 to +180 °C, 10–98 % RH, with light irradiation 50–1300 W/m²), thermal shock chambers (LX-KTS, 25–340 L, transition time under 10 s), altitude chambers (LX-AT), benchtop climate chambers (LX-NBT), and Sunirad-series benchtop solar simulators with illuminated areas from 220 × 220 to 450 × 450 mm. The solar simulators are based on an electrodeless plasma lamp technology with up to 40,000 h operating life of the air-cooled LightTron HF module and achieve AAA class according to IEC 60904-9 Ed.3. All machines are assembled by hand in Switzerland, are designed to be repairable, and every part is individually available as a spare. The product range also includes IV measurement tools (including SMU Keithley 2460), calibrated reference solar cells, monitoring software, calibration reports, as well as installation, on-site or online training, and helpdesk support. Customers come from photovoltaics, automotive (DIN-75220), military technology (MIL-STD-810G), and environmental/climate simulation. On request, Lumartix manufactures custom machines to customer specification.
