spectro-guide / color guide

Color and gloss measurement for basic applications

Visual colour sampling is subjective and depends on the environmental conditions. The spectro-guide and colour guide are easy-to-use instruments to objectively measure colour and gloss against physical standards and document the results in EXCEL. The S family has improved technical performance for gloss (< 10 GU), ideal for low gloss applications.

  • Colour and 60° gloss measurement in one instrument
  • Easy handling due to defined keys for standard and sample measurement
  • Innovative LED technology ensures long-term and temperature-stable measurement results
  • Stable calibration - only necessary every three months
  • Low maintenance
  • Data transfer to easy-link for simple documentation in EXCEL

spectro-guide 45/0 gloss (S)

  • 45/0 Measuring geometry
  • Complete appearance control - colour and gloss in one unit
  • Highly repeatable results on textured surfaces thanks to patented true circumferential illumination
  • S-version: Improved technical performance for 60° gloss < 10 GU

spectro-guide sphere gloss (S)

  • d/8 measurement geometry spin (gloss included)
  • Complete appearance control - colour and gloss in one unit
  • Highly repeatable results on textured surfaces thanks to diffuse sphere illumination
  • S-version: Improved technical performance for 60° gloss < 10 GU

color-guide 45/0

  • 45/0 measurement area:
    - 4 mm aperture for small parts
    - 20 mm glass sealed aperture for granular and powdery material

Standards

  • Color: ASTM D 2244, E 308, E 1164 / DIN 5033, 5036, 6174 / DIN EN ISO 11664
  • Gloss: ASTM D 523, D 2457 / DIN 67530 / ISO 2813, 7668

easy-link Software

Features / Equipment:

  • Easy and direct data transfer from the spectro-photometer to predefined color control templates
  • CIELab graph to show at one glance whether all parts are within specification
  • Trend graph to monitor process changes over time
  • CIELab graph for three illuminants
  • Easy standard management:
    - Manual entry of spectral data if the physical standard is not longer available
    - Standard data back-up for download to the spectrophotometer
  • Auto tolerancing function for assistance in setting up Pass/Fail limits

spectro2go

Controlling the colour harmony of multi-component products within a global supply chain is a challenge. The outstanding technical performance of the spectro2go enables the use of digital standards. This ensures that everyone uses the same colour and gloss specifications.

  • Colour and 60° gloss measurement in one instrument
  • available in 45/0 geometry or as spherical spectrophotometer (d/8)
  • Interchange of digital standards thanks to excellent instrument matching
  • Balanced design with large, colour touch screen
  • External test and calibration standards
  • Live preview of the measurement spot with integrated camera
  • Intelligent high-tech LED illumination with outstanding short-, long-term and temperature stability
  • 10-year warranty on the LEDs - no lamp replacement necessary
  • Professional data analysis with smart-chart combined with WiFi or USB connection

spectro2guide

spectro2guide represents the next step in the evolution of colour measurement. The device combines a spectrophotometer with a fluorimeter in one portable device. For the first time, colour and 60° gloss are measured and light fastness is predicted.

  • Colour, gloss and fluorescence measurement in one device
  • Smart docking station with intelligent auto-diagnostics that tell you when to calibrate
  • Smart high-tech LED lighting with outstanding short-, long-term and temperature stability

spectro2guide Pro

with increased accuracy for measuring the black count of deep black colours (jetness).

Standards

  • Color: ASTM D 2244, E 308, E 1164 / DIN 5033, 5036, 6174 / DIN EN ISO 11664
  • Gloss: ASTM D 523, D 2457 / DIN 67530 / ISO 2813, 7668

smart-lab Software

Features / Equipment:

  • Powerful standards management for setting tolerances and limits
  • Export and import of digital standards within the supply chain ensures smooth communication
  • Customised colour scales are predefined
  • Simultaneous display of results as data table and graph: Lab graph, line/travel graph and spectral curves
  • Easily switch measurement conditions such as illuminants and colour difference methods
  • Pass/fail tolerances based on common colour difference formulas or custom colour scales
  • Exchange of standard and sample guarantees highest flexibility
  • Calculation of the mean value from a series of samples and use as a new standard
