High-precision spectrophotometer with an integrated ISO compliant gloss sensor and stability check
Elevate your quality control standards with the industry’s pioneering bench-top spectrophotometer, the Spectrophotometer CM-36dG. Boasting an integrated ISO 2813 compliant 60° gloss sensor, this high-precision instrument revolutionizes color and gloss measurement by offering simultaneous assessment. By consolidating these values into one streamlined process, you can enhance workflow efficiency, minimize operator errors, and optimize equipment and maintenance expenditures.
The Spectrophotometer CM-36dG sets a new standard for precision and reliability in bench-top color measurement, catering to diverse applications in industries such as Plastics, Paints, Ceramics, and Chemicals. With the capability to measure color in both reflectance and transmittance, it provides unparalleled versatility for various materials.
Equipped with the patented Numerical UV Control (NUVC) technology, the Spectrophotometer CM-36dG ensures accurate UV adjustments, particularly crucial for samples containing optical brighteners like pulp, paper, textiles, or chemicals.
This advanced instrument introduces several user-centric features to enhance usability. Status LEDs offer clear visual feedback, while a camera preview system aids in sample positioning and reporting. Additionally, its versatile port alignment allows for 90° rotation, facilitating the measurement of powdery materials in “Top-port” style.
Opt for the optional Wavelength Analysis & Adjustment (WAA), an innovative Konica Minolta Sensing solution, to compensate for minor shifts in measurement values caused by external factors. When combined with annual calibration and maintenance, WAA guarantees unrivaled accuracy and repeatability.
Compatible with SpectraMagic NX2 software, the Spectrophotometer CM-36dG enables measurement recording and comprehensive color analysis. It also integrates seamlessly with other software for formulating color recipes across diverse applications and sharing real-time measurement data.
