In the automotive sector, maintaining color harmony between mismatched materials—bumpers, side mirrors, door handles, and body panels—is a critical challenge. The Ci7860 Benchtop Spectrophotometer is the industry's most advanced color measurement instrument designed to solve this.
By generating digital master standards using the Ci7860, Automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers can ensure best-in-market color accuracy. With a maximum 0.06 Avg. DE* inter-instrument agreement, the Ci7860 allows for a 25% tighter specification tolerance, significantly reducing rejection rates and rework costs in paint shops and assembly lines.
Operational Benefits
Throughout the design and manufacturing process, there are numerous opportunities for color errors to creep in, building an "error stack" that ultimately can affect the quality of final production. By using the industry-leading Ci7860, brand owners and key suppliers to manufacturers can reduce these risks.
Tighter Tolerance Specs
Delivers 25% tighter specification (0.06 Avg. DE*) than any other instrument. Essential for matching metallic paints and pearlescent coatings across suppliers.
Supply Chain Consistency
Acts as the master instrument for upstream specification. Ensure that Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers are measuring against the exact same digital standard.
Legacy Data Compatible
Fits seamlessly into existing automotive quality control environments, preserving the value of historical data and legacy color libraries.
Optical Brightener Control
Calibrated UV control for accurate measurement of interior textiles, dashboard plastics, and brightened papers. 400nm filter standard.
Multi-Aperture Flexibility
Includes four reflectance apertures to measure parts of varying sizes—from small interior knobs to large body panels. Auto-zoom lens reduces operator error.
Audit & Traceability
Internal humidity and temperature sensors provide a complete audit trail for every measurement, ensuring ISO compliance and reliable tracking.
