The CM-512m3 is a multi-angle spectrophotometer especially designed for metallic paints. It uses an exclusive geometry with 0° viewing and illumination at 25°, 45° and 75° angles.
This special geometry is truly symmetric and therefore free of orientation errors often found in traditional multi-angle instruments. In addition, this illumination gives very accurate results even when curved surfaces are measured. Therefore difficult samples such as vehicle mirror bodies or door handles can be measured easily. The CM-512m3 is extremely rugged because it is free of any moving parts.

The temperature data of the sample is measured at each measurement. This data is memorised with each sample reading, so that thermochromatic effects can be analysed. Another practical feature is the infrared data transfer to an external PC, which frees you from troublesome cable connections.
