KEY
FEATURES

Measuring
Functions and Indices
The SP62 provides absolute and
difference measurements for the following colormetric systems. These values can be obtained from any of the nine illuminants
with 2° or 10° observer angle: CIE XYZ, CIE
Yxy, CIE L*a*b*, Hunter
LAB, CIE L*c*hº (calculated
from ab or uv space), CMC and CIE94. Whiteness
and Yellowness in accordance with ASTM E313-98, Metamerism
Index and DIN 6172.
|
Special PROJECT
Modes
Multiple color standards can also
be collected under an identified
PROJECT, a feature that supports corporate color standards
programs.
|
Pass/Fail
Mode
The SP62 stores up to 1,024 standards
with tolerances for easy pass/fail measurement.
A red/green LED indicator and the instrument’s LCD display
provide visual confirmation of results.
A tone also sounds to indicate a fail result and measurement
completion.
|
Quick Color
Compare
An operator can take a quick measurement
and compare two colors. This
allows the operator to take quality-control readings in a time
efficient manner without having to create tolerances or store
data.
|
The Sphere
The SP62’s diffusing sphere is
made of Spectralon®, a durable, highly reflective material designed
to perform in a rigorous production environment.
The diffusing material prevents premature degradation due
to the flaking and chipping of the sphere wall material.
|
Inter-Instrument
Agreement
The SP62 has superior inter-instrument
agreement – essential in multiple instrument color-control programs. The SP62 offers excellent inter-instrument
agreement with X-Rite SP64 Sphere Spectrophotometer. Both input data into X-Rite
line of Windows-based color quality assurance and color formulation
software.
|
Opacity,
Color Strength and Shade Sorting
The SP62 can measure opacity as
well as three color-strength options:
chromatic, apparent and tri-stimulus calculations.
The SP62 also performs 555 shade sorting. These are important considerations in the color quality control
of manufactured products involving plastics, painted or textile
materials.
|
Texture and
Gloss Influence
To determine the influence of
the specular component , the SP62 allows simultaneous measurement
of both specular-included (color) and specular-excluded (appearance).
|
User-Friendly
Ergonomics
In addition to on-board programs
to assist the operator in the data collection process, the instrument
itself is highly user-friendly.
It is compact and lightweight.
A wrist strap and tactile side grips make it easy to hold.
Read-outs are large and easy to see.
A rechargeable battery pack allows extended operation of
the instrument.
