XRite SP60 Portable Sphere Spectrophotometer

XRite SP60 Portable Sphere Spectrophotometer

Brand: X-Rite

Made in U.S.A.

 

Details

The SP60 Portable Sphere Spectrophotometer is a convenient, cost-efficient instrument designed to provide fast, precise color measurement information on a wide range of materials, such as paper, paint, plastics, and textiles. Absolute and difference measurements are obtained for the following colorimetric systems: L*a*b*, ??L*??a*??b??, L*C*h?? ??L????C*??H*, ??E*ab, ??ECMC, ??E CIE94, XYZ, Whiteness and Yellowness 

1. Versatile—use for lab, plant or field operation.

2. Easy to read, large graphical LCD display.

3. Permits quick measurement and comparison of two colors without need to create tolerances or store data.

4. Up to 1,024 standards with tolerances can be stored for easy pass/fail measurement.

5. Superior agreement capabilities ensures integrity of multiple-instrument color control.

6. Device measures opacity, color strength in chromatic, apparent, and tri-stimulus calculations, and 555 shade sorting for precise color control of products involving plastic, painted, or textile materials.

7. Simultaneous measurement of both specular-included (color) and specular-excluded (appearance) enabled to determine the influence of the specular component.

8. A wrist strap and tactile side grips facilitate holding and a flip back target shoe adds flexibility.

9. Rechargeable battery allows for remote use.

Advanced color measurement

The SP60 is an affordable sphere spectrophotometer, designed to give fast, precise and accurate color measurement information on materials ranging from paper and paint to plastics and textiles.

Measuring Functions and Indices

The SP60 provides absolute and difference measurements for the following colormetric systems. These values can be obtained from any of nine illuminants with 2??or 10??observer angle: L*a*b*, L*a*b*, L*C*h?? L*C*H*, E*ab, ECMC, E CIE94 and XYZ. Whiteness and yellowness per ASTM E313-98 + AATCC Gray Scale.

Pass/Fail Mode

The SP60 stores up to 1,024 standards with tolerances for easy pass/fail measurement. A red/green LED indicator and the LCD display provide visual confirmation of results. A tone also sounds to indicate a fail result.

Quick Color Compare

An operator can take a quick measurement and comparison of two colors. This allows the operator to take quality-control readings in a time-efficient manner without having to create tolerances or store data.

The Sphere

The SP60’s diffusing sphere is made of Spectralon?? a durable, highly reflective material designed to perform in a rigorous production environment. The diffusing material prevents premature degradation due to the flaking and chipping of the sphere wall material.

Opacity, Color Strength and Shade Sorting

The SP60 can measure opacity as well as three color-strength options: chromatic, apparent and tristimulus calculations. The SP60 also performs 555 shade sorting. These are important considerations in the color quality control of manufactured products involving plastic, painted or textile materials.

rture and Gloss Influence

To determine the influence of the specular component, the SP60 allows simultaneous measurement of both specular-included (color) and specular-excluded (appearance).

User-Friendly Ergonomics

In addition to on-board programs to assist the operator in the measurement process, the instrument itself is highly user-friendly. It is compact and lightweight. A wrist strap and tactile side grips make it easy to hold. Read-outs are large and easy to see. A rechargeable battery pack allows extended operation of the instrument.
