User manual KONICA CM-508C

[. . . ] Unlike conventional spectrophotometers, correlation of the measurement results with visual evaluation of such subjects can be achieved. The ring-shaped illumination ensures stable measurement without being affected by the orientation (rotational deviation) of the instrument. [. . . ] With the CM-512m3, the E00 (CIEDE2000) equation is used with parameters fine-tuned based on proprietary knowhow to provide measurement data for metallic/pearl coatings which correlate well with visual evaluation. Measurement button Extension feet Multi-angle method (Ring illumination from three angles / Light reception in one direction) Illumination: 25º, 45º, 75º Light reception: 0º The measurement sample is illuminated from three angles and the reflection in one direction is received. Metallic/pearl colors may result in great differences in color appearance depending on the observation angle. Like visual evaluation, the multi-angle method obtains measured data by applying illumination from three different angles. Consequently, it is suitable for the evaluation of metallic/pearl colors. Applications for coating measurements Automotive exterior Even curved surfaces of car bodies or bumpers can be measured stably. The portable, handheld design ensures easy and stable measurement on production sites. The instrument can be held easily and firmly, and measurements can be taken without being concerned about its orientation (rotational deviation).
