BYK spectro-guide gloss
Color measurement with 45:0°- or d:8° spheric-measurement geometry and 60° gloss measurement with equipment
Color appearance on the surfaces of items is characterized by two factors: color and gloss. Two surfaces with similar color but with different gloss do not look the same visually. The 45°/0°-measurement geometry is affected by the human eye. In order to measure a pure color tone without taking optical properties into account, just as gloss or structures, the sphericmeasurement (Ulbricht’s sphere). The BYK spectro-guide spectro photometer cannot only be ordered in usual measurement geometries. Respectively a 60°-measurement is integrated. 60°-gloss measurement is sufficient for most of the applications. Only in extreme cases under 5 GE or over 80 GE (gloss units) seperate gloss meters with 85° resp. with 20° measurement
geometry are required.
Advantages of the integrated gloss measurement of spectro-guide:
- Color (45/0 resp. sphere) and 60° gloss are displayed at the same time
- Color and gloss measuring through one target window without moving the instrument
- Agreement with international standards
- Input of tolerances for color and gloss – ideal for fast pass/fail decisions in production
An overview of the key aspects:
- Patented lighting technology with spectral LEDs at 45°/0-degree geometry. Because of a white coated hemisphere there is homogene lighting of the sample, no influence on the measurement direction and excellent repeatability even on structured surfaces
- New, patented measuring principle in order to achieve a complete all-round lightning
- Independent from measuring results between 10° and 42° C ambient temperatures
- Longtime calibration
- Configurable display, easy handling
- Measurements also on bent surfaces
- The supplied software „easy-link“ for an easy archieving of all measurement data and graphical displaying of all measuring results (opt. prof. QS-Software "autoqc" available).
- 10 years of guaranty for light source
- Leasing from ca. 200,00 Euro per month (only for German customers)
