Product Features
Core Performance
D/8 Illumination Viewing Geometry: Adopts the internationally accepted D/8 structure with SCI (Specular Component Included) mode, complying with CIE No.15, GB/T 3978 and other international and domestic standards, ensuring authoritative and universal measurement results.
Dual Optical Path Design: Equipped with a dual row 16 group silicon photodiode array sensor and Φ40mm integrating sphere for more efficient and accurate color data processing.
Full Spectrum Balanced LED Light Source: Captures spectra from 400-700 nm with sufficient spectral distribution in the visible range, avoiding spectral gaps typical of ordinary white LEDs and ensuring high measurement accuracy.
Repeatability: Chromaticity value standard deviation ΔE*ab ≤ 0.02, ensuring high consistency of measurement results.
Inter Instrument Agreement: ΔE*ab ≤ 0.35, providing excellent consistency among multiple instruments for multi device color management.
User Friendly Interface: 2.8 inch TFT true color capacitive touch screen, supporting one button measurement. The interface clearly displays spectral graphs, chromaticity values, color differences, pass/fail judgments, color simulation, and color tendency.
Multi Device Connectivity: USB and Bluetooth® 5.0 for connection with PCs and mobile phones (Android, iOS, HarmonyOS) and WeChat Mini Program (Color Matching Cloud). Professional quality control software enables real time data synchronization, report generation, and cloud storage (200 standards + 10,000 samples on APP/PC), supporting remote collaboration and mobile office.
Functional Highlights
Color Spaces & Formulas: Supports CIE LAB, XYZ, HunterLab and other color spaces; ΔEab, ΔEcmc, ΔE*00 and other mainstream color difference formulas. Measures spectral reflectance, whiteness index (WI), yellowness index (YI), metamerism index Mt, staining/color fastness, and other chromatic indexes. Advanced functions (Munsell, CMYK) are available via mobile APP.
Wide Illuminant Coverage: Built in 30+ standard illuminants including D65, A, C, D50 (some extended via mobile APP) to meet color evaluation under various lighting conditions.
Ergonomic Design: Smooth, stylish housing with comfortable grip, suitable for continuous inspection. Auto measurement sensing device ensures portability and ease of use.
Flexible Apertures: Φ4mm/Φ5mm (flat + conical) apertures adapt to small or curved samples (e.g., electronic components, coated surfaces). Stable sheet positioning ensures accurate measurement placement.
