LED spectrophotometer ColorRanger 580-CG

reflectanceUSBportable

Product description Compact portable solution for color and gloss measurement according to DIN 5033 and DIN EN ISO 2813. 45°/0° measurement geometry for color and a 60° measurement head for gloss. PTB-certified white and gloss standards included. Machined from a solid aluminium block, the instrument weighs only 270 g and performs spectral scans in 3.5 nm steps with a total measurement time under 1 second. High-contrast O-LED color display for easy reading. The 45°/0° measurements correspond to human visual perception.

Advantages

• Combined 45°/0° color measurement and 60° gloss measurement
• Long-life, powerful LED light source
• Intuitive user interface for straightforward operation
• Storage for 1000 standards and 350 sample photos

Description This compact spectrophotometer offers state-of-the-art technology. Despite its small size it delivers high resolution, rapid measurement cycles and a clear menu structure to ensure fast, repeatable and error-free measurements. The sample is illuminated at 45° by a direct light source and reflected light is measured at 0°, giving results that align with the human visual impression.

Applications

• Color measurement for incoming/outgoing goods control in QM systems according to DIN EN ISO 9000
• Objective quality control of product color
• Color difference checks against a reference standard
