Portable Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer

The Portable Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer delivers unmatched precision and consistency in measuring color, sparkle, and coarseness across various effect finishes. Designed with six angles of measurement and advanced polychromatic LED illumination, it ensures readings that closely match the way the human eye perceives color. With industry-leading repeatability and reproducibility, this instrument minimizes waste and rework across production lines. Its intuitive 3.5-inch touchscreen, automatic internal calibration, and compatibility with legacy X-Rite devices make it an ideal choice for industries such as automotive, plastics, coatings, and cosmetics requiring superior color harmony and process control.

Features

• Precise readings of colored sparkle and coarseness make repeatability and reproducibility more than twice as good as that of other devices on the market, minimizing waste and re-work across the production process
• Ability to characterize effect finishes across a variety of applications, from automotive paint to plastics and cosmetics through 6 angles of measurement
• Results you expect — measurements that more closely approximate the way the eye perceives color — streamline approval process
• Intuitive interface reduces the learning curve and increases measurement efficiency
• Automatic internal calibration reduces the risk of inaccurate measurements due to insufficient device calibration, and limits the need for external calibration to once per month
• Backwards compatibility with X-Rite MA68, MA94, MA96, and MA98 ensures a smooth transition with no loss of legacy data
• The ability to set and digitally communicate global tolerances and measurement procedures for color, sparkle, and coarseness across the supply chain improves ongoing conformance
• Real-time monitoring of color harmony across the supply chain enables quick adjustments to improve operating efficiencies
• New visual tools enable quick analysis and resolution for noncompliant product
