Overview

In many laboratory and manufacturing processes, it is beneficial to measure wet samples to make a wet-to-wet comparison as a proxy for a final dry-to-dry comparison. This can save as much as 24 hours of wait time while samples dry, enabling operators to make changes in production quickly, reducing scrap and making production more efficient while delivering better colour accuracy. The VS450 is a unique, non-contact colour measurement instrument for measuring colour accuracy of a variety of wet and dry samples including cosmetics, paints, plastics, powders and food.

Key Benefits

The X-Rite VS450 is unique in the market as the only benchtop sphere spectrophotometer that operates in a non-contact mode. In addition, it can measure a sample from a distance without being affected by ambient light. The VS450 is ideal for measuring wet samples including liquids or pastes, large or bulky items, or substances such as food that would require a protective barrier for conventional measurement. It eliminates surface distortion caused by contact-based measurements.



• Better control day-to-day color production with a defined, standard procedure that saves time, cost and effort.
• Establish a “wet tolerance” that wet samples need to meet to produce a good result in a final dry-to-dry comparison, saving as much as 24 hours waiting for samples to dry in the lab and in production.
• In combination with Color iMatch, measure samples and use the adjust feature to compensate for the difference in appearance between wet and dry standards for more accuracy and significant time savings.
• Use this non-contact measurement solution for samples that change appearance when pressed behind glass or other presentation devices; they can now be measured in their natural, unaltered state, just as the human eye would see them. A mounting stand is available for easy, accurate height adjustment.
• Benefit from minimal maintenance requirements since the optical system never comes in contact with samples and thus remains uncontaminated.

MetaVue VS3200 Imaging Spectrophotometer

Overview

For industrial applications in coatings, plastics, food, cosmetics and more, accurate, consistent color is vital. Whether measuring plastic parts, liquids, powders, or gels, this versatile, non-contact imaging spectrophotometer can speed up color formulation, production color checks and quality control operations, reducing waste and rework

while shrinking cycle time. This is especially important in environments with frequent production color changes.

Key Benefits

The MetaVue VS3200 non-contact imaging spectrophotometer delivers unmatched versatility and color measurement accuracy. Its unique capabilities streamline measurements in both lab and quality control operations. Manufacturers can take advantage of MetaVue VS3200’s non-contact imaging to measure difficult samples such as small and non-planar items as well as liquids, pastes, powders and gels without

contaminating the instrument.

• Features flexibility and ease of use, with aperture sizes ranging from 2mm to

12mm, enabling users to measure a wider variety of samples.

• Delivers precise digital targeting, allowing the user to quickly and easily select the

exact target area being measured.

• Provides stored image samples, ensuring users have a measurement audit trail and

easy retrieval of images for future reference.

• Integrates into existing workflows, eliminating the need to build new databases.

Backward compatible with X-Rite VS450 and 964 data.
