MA-T6 Portable Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer
Overview
Color is a decisive buying factor when it comes to the purchase of new products – from cars, to consumer electronics and household appliances. In today’s competitive marketplace, manufacturers increasingly use extreme effect finishes to differentiate themselves. As a result, measurement of color alone is no longer sufficient to completely characterize these materials, or to ensure consistency across adjacent parts and distributed supply chains. The new MA-T6 coupled with AutoQC software is the ideal solution for quickly and accurately evaluating and verifying color, sparkle, and coarseness characteristics of effect finishes.
Key Benefits
The MA-T6 is part of the most advanced range of multi-angle spectrophotometers available today. A new design featuring an RGB color camera and 6 angles of measurement makes the MA-T6 a significant upgrade that will deliver more precise measurements and ensure your conformance with even the tightest tolerances. An ergonomic design features a centrally located aperture and positioning pins to ensure stable measurement. Modern touch screen navigation and live camera measurement previews make the MA-T6 simple and intuitive to use.
AutoQC, a software package included with the MA-T6, is a cloud-based solution that simplifies the process of defining, communicating, and ensuring conformance with standards and measurement procedures for color, sparkle, and coarseness across distributed supply chains. AutoQC’s new visual tools, including performance trend charts and stored images of specific measurements, enable real-time performance monitoring and provide actionable insights that speed up the process of troubleshooting out-oftolerance product.

Key Benefits
The MA-T12 is the most advanced multi-angle spectrophotometer available today. The RGB color camera coupled with 12 angles of measurement makes this instrument the preferred choice for establishing the strictest color standards. The new ergonomic design includes a centrally located aperture and positioning pins to ensure stable measurement. The MA-T12’s intuitive interface offers modern touch screen navigation and live camera measurement previews, which makes it easy to learn and simple to use.

Ci7860 Benchtop Spectrophotometer
Overview
The Ci7860 benchtop sphere spectrophotometer is the most advanced colour measurement instrument in the market. By generating digital master standards using the Ci7860, brand owners and specifiers can be assured of best-in-market colour accuracy when communicating those standards to suppliers and other supply chain stakeholders. When combined with NetProfiler and Color iMatch or Color iQC, the Ci7860 delivers a complete colour specification and management solution. By relying on its maximum 0.06 Avg. DE* inter-instrument agreement, brand owners and other specifiers will benefit from 25% tighter specification than any other available instrument and be certain that accurate colour is reliably specified across the entire supply chain.
Key BenefitsThroughout the design and manufacturing process, there are numerous opportunities for colour errors to creep in, building an error stack that ultimately can affect the quality of final production. Errors at that stage are costly, resulting in significant delays, waste and rework.
By using the industry-leading Ci7860 benchtop spectrophotometer with its market leading inter-instrument agreement in the very beginning of the specification process, brand owners and key suppliers to manufacturers can reduce these risks.
• The Ci7860 delivers 25% tighter specification than any other colour measurement
instrument At 0.06 Avg. DE* maximum inter-instrument agreement. It acts as a master
instrument and the go-to specification tool for use upstream in the supply chain.
• Fits seamlessly into operational environments including the ability to conform to legacy data formats.
• Complete audit trail and internal humidity and temperature sensors ensure accurate track and trace for all measurements.
• Calibrated UV for advanced optical brightener control in paper, textiles, plastics and paint & coatings. 400nm cut of filter is standard; 420nm and 460nm are optional
• Includes four reflectance apertures plus one optional 3.5mm. The measurement lens zooms automatically when the aperture is changed.
• Compliant with industry standards, including CIE No. 15, ASTM D1003, ISO 7724/1
