OverviewThe Konica Minolta CM-17d and CM-16d spectrophotometers are vertical portable color measurement instruments designed for a wide range of applications, including plastics, consumer electronics, paints and coatings, personal care products, automotive interior, packaging, building materials and more. They succeed the CM-700d and CM-600d models and offer improved accuracy, repeatability, faster measurement speed and enhanced usability.
Key Features- High inter-instrument agreement and high repeatability for consistent color communication across the supply chain.
- Fast measurement speed: approx. 0.7 s (SCI or SCE).
- Various measuring apertures for different sample sizes, including shaped or curved surfaces; MAV and SAV options.
- Camera viewfinder (live preview) available on CM-17d for easy measurement positioning.
- Optional wireless LAN/Bluetooth module for data transfer and connectivity.
- Screw/tripod hole at the front for mounting custom adapters, jigs or robotic arms; optional adapter/jig available for upside-down measurements.
- New cradle for CM-17d enabling zero calibration and charging; dedicated compartment for storing the white calibration cap.
- Supported software: Configuration Tool CM-CT1 for setup/standardization; optional SpectraMagic NX2 (advanced color formulas, custom illuminants, QC templates, tagging, etc.).
- Wavelength Analysis & Adjustment (WAA) function for routine performance checks and wavelength shift correction.
Trusted by IndustryUsed for color quality control and analysis across multiple industries requiring accurate color measurement and reliable inter-instrument agreement.
