Main Features
• Targeted for QC, testing and research, applications in pulp, paper and board industry, textiles, felts, pigments, plastics, minerals, paints and coatings, printing, boards, papers, most solid materials and most fibre materials
• Installed to many positions in production machines
• Simple to use, accurate readings, excellent stability
• Small size, light weight
• A self-contained system, powerful DSP technology is used for signal processing
• Geometry is 0 deg /45 deg CIE 1964 10 deg observer
• Illuminant: A / C / D50 / D55 / D65 / D75 selectable
• Analyzing X, Y, Z, chromaticity coordinates x,y,z, CIE L*a*b*, Lu'v' and L*u*v*, Yellowness J, TAPPI Brightness R457, CIE whiteness W, CIE Tint, colour differences for L*, a*, b*, v', u*, v*, chromaticity, hue, saturation. A special Primary reflectance data R(lambda)
• One sensing head, self-calibrating optics
• Spot size 8.75 mm in diameter allows small-scale measurements, size dictated by standards and distance
• LED light source with wideband excitation of 420 - 760 nm and a separate UV excitation 390 - 420 nm is user adjustable. This eliminates flurescence effects if FWA is used
• Operating distance: 50 mm one headed observation
• Uses a CCD spectrometer as a detector for analyzing the spectra, the architecture compensates against the light source and other variations. The spectrometer resolution is about 1.6 nm. A category B device
• USB, RS232, analog outputs 5 V (4) and 4-20 mA (1), data to channel selectable
• Process connection max. distances: Wireless Bluetooth 100 m, RS232 9600 bauds 40 m, 4-20 mA 1000 m. 115200 bauds for RS232 allows for 10 m max.
• Conforms to CIE 15:2004 and CIE 176:2006 requirements
• Reel counter
• Superior stability, based on proven technology of Visilab
• In laboratory the FrontColour program can be used via USB/RS232/Bluetooth, all data for archival, statistics and reporting, big numeric and graphic displays
• Extremely long service interval - designed to run 24/7
• IP67 case for protection. A dust cover optional
• Other options: Spectralon reflectance standard, ceramic colour tiles, wavelength calibration light. The reflectance standard is the one good to have.
