Product Description
The multi-angle spectrophotometer model YR05491 stands out for its remarkable capability to provide precise color measurements, catering specifically to complex special effect color products such as metallic and pearlescent finishes. It employs a sophisticated measurement geometry comprising eight angles—six illumination sources and two receivers—ensuring comprehensive and accurate data collection.
Equipped with a full spectrum LED light source enhanced with blue lighting, this device guarantees measurements with high spectral accuracy. The concave grating spectrophotometric mode, paired with a 256-image element double array CMOS image sensor, covers a wavelength range from 400nm to 700nm at intervals of 10nm, ensuring detailed capture of color nuances. With a robust design allowing a measurement range of 0~600%, the spectrophotometer’s semiband width and measuring aperture are set at 10nm and Φ12mm, respectively.
The device supports various color space formats like CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, among others, making it compatible with a wide range of industry standards, including ASTM, DIN, ISO, and SAE. Users benefit from a quick approximate measuring time of 1 second per angle or approximately 8 seconds for all angles, combined with remarkable repeatability in spectral reflectance and chromaticity values. The instrument offers multiple measuring modes, locating capabilities, and is packaged in a compact and portable form factor, making it ideal for field applications.
