KEY
FEATURES

Measuring
Functions and Indices
The SP64 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 LAB,
Hunter LAB, CIE LCH, CMC and CIE94. Whiteness and Yellowness per
ASTM E313-98, Metamerism Index and DIN 6172.

Special
JOB and PROJECT Modes
The JOB function
is a programmed sequence of specific steps to assist the operator
in the color measurement process. Up to six lines of specific
instructions per measurement routine can be downloaded from X-Rite
software and displayed on the SP64's LCD screen. Multiple color
standards can also be collected under an identified PROJECT, a
feature that supports corporate color standards programs.
|
Pass/Fail
Mode
The SP64 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.
|
Switchable
Apertures
The internal
apertures can be quickly changed with the flip of a switch for
4mm or 8mm measurement areas. The instrument will recognise which
aperture is being utilized and automatically adapt calibration
data. This allows the operator to change measurement mode quickly
and efficiently, depending on the sample size.
|
The Sphere
The SP64'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 SP64 has
superior inter-instrument agreement - essential in multiple instrument
color-control programs. The SP64 offers excellent inter-instrument
agreement with X-Rite SP62 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 SP64 can
measure opacity as well as three color-strength options: chromatic,
apparent and tri-stimulus calculations. The SP64 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 SP64 allows simultaneous
measurement of both specular-included (color) and specular-excluded
(appearance).
|
User-Friendly
Ergonomics
A wrist strap
and tactile side grips make the instrument easy to hold. Read-outs
are large and easy to use. A rechargeable battery pack allows
extended operation of the instrument.
