User-friendly spectrometric Colour Measuring Instrument with miniature sensor ColorTector-Alpha® Virtueller Simulator: ColorTector Alpha - Color Measuring Instrument

Micro-System-Technology for precise colour measurement
ColorTector Alpha^® is a portable colour- measuring instrument equipped with an external sensor having 45°/0° measuring geometry according to DIN 5033 specification. The modern, accurate microprocessor based technology uses the spectral analysis method to determinate the colour of the sample: A defined light source illuminates the samples and the reflected surface light is spectrometrically analysed.

ColorTector Alpha^® has extensive application for:

• The objective quality control of colour during production, resulting in fewer reject

• The colour measurement and recording of products supplied by O.E.M suppliers to check for conformity with DIN and ISO 9000 specifications

• The comparison of colour samples against colour standards

• The spot measurement of colour for colour shade with a predetermined illumination method and selected angels of focus

• The interpretation and statistic evaluation of all measurements taken

Equipment characteristics:

• Excellent repeatability due to the spectroscopic analysis technique used

• Multiply interpretations of measurement data 

• External sensor with ergonomic handle with automatically initiates measurements. This is very advantageous for soft materials like textiles and leathers

• The small, user-friendly sensor head uses white LED's as defined light source

• Non-volatile memory capacity for 1000 colour measurements and 100 colour samples with remission spectrometry

• User-friendly menu guarantees easy of use

• Measurements are date and time stamped

• Interchangeable and rechargeable batteries for continuous use

• Serial RS-232C Interface

• Illuminated LCD graphic display
