User manual MINOLTA MAXXUM 650SI

[. . . ] Designed to keep an eye on the optical properties of pulp and paper during the complete production process, the MAXXUM 650SI measures brightness, opacity, fluorescence, color, whiteness and tint. To meet your exacting standards, PaperControl software has been developed in close cooperation with the paper, pulp and cellulose industry. Finally a professional solution to ensure uncompromised quality Your professional quality agent right on the production line: Uncompromised quality thanks to advanced PaperControl software and perfect adherence to ISO standards. [. . . ] Measuring Color Difference In addition to production control and whiteness measurement, PaperControl also provides a Color Difference module, which displays the measurement readings as numerical data, spectral reflection curves or color space plots. Quick Opacity Measurement Measuring opacity can be done in a matter of seconds: Simply position the opacity jig on the white side and measure. Then rotate the opacity jig to the black side, measure again ­ that's it! Patented* Numerical UV Control Numerical UV Control (NUVC) makes calibration and ISO standards The MAXXUM 650SI ensures adherence to ISO optical standards and a wide array of national standards worldwide. It provides exact conformity with ISO standards 2469 and 2470 for measuring ISO brightness. With PaperControl software, brightness, opacity, whiteness and yellowness indices are calculated and displayed in accordance with several international and national standards such as: ISO, SCAN, DIN, TAPPI, CPPA, and AFNOR. adjustments to whiteness and tint a swift and quick procedure. In fact, the whole process is much faster than current methods used in conventional instruments. Since it's all done digitally, exact and reliable results are assured. And with the total absence of moving parts in the spectrophotometer's optical system, it is absolutely robust and completely maintenance-free!The production control module allows programming and labelling for a large number of jobs. Up to 9 different processes can be displayed in easy-to-understand menus. Thus, the operator gets valuable assistance in performing the most commonly used measurement routines. The end result is overall increased productivity. The measurement data can be transferred to the production control process system. This ensures that specific test runs are being done under the same conditions ­ providing consistent, reliable results. And to make it even easier, all settings and measurements of this Windows-based software (Windows®95, Windows®98, and Windows NT®4. 0) are keyboard-controlled. Automatic calibration Calibration is performed automatically for every conceivable combination of measurements in a few seconds.
