Because of the increased accuracy of data, measurements from spectrophotometers can be compared against standards, without the need to conduct parallel tests, effectively saving time and money in the process.
Providing versatility and color measurement accuracy, MetaVue VS3200 noncontact imaging spectrophotometer streamlines measurements in both lab and quality control operations.
Surface appearance can change your perception of color. Think of a glossy magazine. If the light is shining directly on the page, you may need to tilt the magazine and change the reflection angle to clearly see the colors.
The CM-M6 multi-angle spectrophotometer from Konica Minolta Sensing Inc. allows customers to measure nonflat automotive samples that in the past have been difficult or impossible to measure with excellent repeatability of color values.
The new MA-T12, a 12-angle device, and the MA-T6, a six-angle device, are the first instruments to combine color imaging and multi-angle spectral measurement to quantify color, sparkle and coarseness.
The CM-M6 is a portable, multi-angle spectrophotometer using a patented double-path illumination system with directed 45° illumination and 6-angle observation
For manufacturers of paint and painted products alike, then, it is important to not only measure both wet and dry samples, but to establish standards for both.
The spectrophotometer enables accurate color measurement of painted surfaces, plastic parts, packaging labels, automotive parts, furnishings and other manufactured goods. Measurements check the visual impression of the color, gloss level and effect of the surface texture.
