Description
The MS3006 Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer is a precision instrument designed for accurate and consistent color measurement, especially for metallic, pearlescent and other complex special-effect finishes.
With its industrial-grade MCU and six measurement angles, it ensures high accuracy in measuring color variations under different viewing conditions. The advanced optical system guarantees repeatability in measuring key parameters such as Sparkle Grade (SG), Diffuse Coarseness (DC), and Color Variation (CV).
The MS3006 is ideal for analyzing surface paints affected by different viewing angles, providing precise results even on curved surfaces. This versatile device not only measures multi-angle color differences but also characterizes special finishes with outstanding accuracy and stability. Its user-friendly interface and robust performance make it an indispensable tool for quality control in industries requiring high standards of color consistency and special-effect finish measurement.
Key Features:
- Multi-angle measurement: Simultaneously measures from six angles with six illumination sources and one receiver.
- Intuitive display: Touchscreen shows comprehensive data for all measurement angles.
- Effect measurement discrimination: Accurately distinguishes Sparkle Grade (SG), Diffuse Coarseness (DC), and Color Variation (CV) for efficient quality inspection.
- 256-element double-array CMOS sensor: Ensures high speed, accuracy, stability, and consistency.
- Full spectrum LED light source with blue enhancement: Provides a broad spectral range for precise measurements and low maintenance costs.
- Concave grating technology: Delivers higher resolution for more accurate color measurement.
- Durable professional-grade white board: Offers stable optical performance with a high-hardness surface.
- Ergonomic design: Comfortable to use, with a smooth surface and well-placed controls for various hand positions.
- Color camera preview: Enables precise positioning of the measured area for improved accuracy.
- Multiple color spaces and light sources: Supports a variety of color spaces (CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy) and light sources (D65, A, C, D50, etc.).
- Easy data analysis: Displays detailed measurement data, including chromaticity values, color differences, pass/fail results, and more for enhanced work efficiency.
