The CM-512m3A spectrophotometer is a handheld, multi-angle device that works ideally with metallic colors.
The Konica Minolta CM-512m3A Spectrophotometer is a multi-angle spectrophotometer that was created for use with metallic paints. The device has 0° viewing and illumination angles at 25°, 45°, and 75° that work with an exclusive geometry.
The device’s unique geometry offers an orientation error free symmetry that is often found lacking in other multi-angle devices. This device’s illumination provides impressively accurate results on both traditional and curved surfaces making formerly difficult samples such as door handles and vehicle mirror bodies easily measurable. The lack of moving parts means the handheld CM-512m3A Spectrophotometer is very hearty and rugged.
Multi-angle design – A single operation allows measurements to be taken simultaneously from three different angles (25°, 45°, and 75°)
Ring illumination – With illumination provided from 18 radial directions, the effect of workpiece orientation on measurement results can be eliminated.
Line graph display – The graph display function enables easy color judgment even on production sites without using a personal computer. Evaluation equation suitable for measurements of metallic/pearl coating correlates well with visual evaluation with the CM-512m3A, the ΔE00 (CIE 2000) equation is used with parameters fine-tuned based on proprietary knowhow to provide measurement data for metallic/pearl coatings which correlate well with visual evaluation.
