Spectrophotometer CM-36dGV
Click to Enlarge Thumbnails
The Spectrophotometer CM-36dGV is a high-precision and high-reliability benchtop color measuring instrument with advanced functions catering to today’s measurement needs.
The CM-36dGV can measure color in either reflectance or transmittance. Equipped with a 60° gloss sensor (ISO 2813 compliant), it enables simultaneous color and gloss measurement, improving work efficiency.
It comes with the patented Numerical UV Control (NUVC) that offers accurate and simple UV adjustments when measuring samples that contain optical brighteners (OBA) such as pulp, paper, and textiles.
The CM-36dGV offers a tight inter-instrument agreement (IIA) of ΔE*ab< 0.12 ΔE*ab< 0.12 and repeatability of σ∆E*ab < 0.02, assuring the measurement and its data are communicated within the supply chain, from suppliers to finished product maker, consistently.
Designed with enhanced usability in mind, with the sample viewing function that uses an integrated camera, the CM-36dGV enables accurate and easy positioning of samples. Its vertical orientation allows for easy handling of samples such as cloth and paper.
The CM-36dGV has an easy-to-read status panel with a measuring button. It can display the measurement status and condition settings to minimize operator error and improve work efficiency. It also has four different aperture sizes (Ø 4.0 mm, 8.0 mm, 16.0 mm, and 25.4 mm) to cater to different measurement needs.
With the innovative WAA (Wavelength Analysis & Adjustment) function (optional) that analyzes and adjusts any wavelength shift during each calibration, the CM-36dGV can ensure the instrument and its measurement remain accurate and reliable over time.
