SENSEGOOD SPECTROPHOTOMETER
Versatility and ergonomics:
Sensegood Spectrophotometer is one of the most versatile and ergonomic color analytical instrument that adapts to work as portable/handheld, bench-top/table-top or in-process/online instrument. Each color can be distinctly represented with unique numerical values using Sensegood Spectrophotometer. It can capture, evaluate and communicate the color of any sample; be it solid, liquid, powder or paste. It is engineered with proprietary technology which enables the same instrument to serve for contact as well as non-contact type measurements.
Low field maintenance costs:
The sensor is mounted in a protective housing at a distance from the measuring surface. This eliminates the direct sample contact to the sensor or its optical assembly even in contact type measurements. Because of this, sensor and the optics remain scratch proof, enabling long life in retaining the calibration. This reduces the production down time and the maintenance cost incurred due to scratches and so optics replacements and factory calibrations if required.Color difference:
It is more desirable and informative to determine the color difference to ensure the product’s color consistency. Hence the color difference is more important parameter rather to that of the absolute color measurement. Sensegood Spectrophotometer has improvised to represent the color difference as a match percentage, a single number representation. It further alarms – audible alarm and also by displaying color codes; based on manufacturer’s set alarm threshold so that any production-line-operator can easily understand and take corrective actions.
Auto measurement mode:
This is a continuous measurement mode with user selectable repeat measurement intervals. This mode is highly desirable in online/in-process applications where color consistency can be maintained by establishing color tolerances and evaluating color match percentage.Averaging:
Sensegood Spectrophotometer has rotating sample platform and a large field of view. This along with the averaging mode active; ensures best reproducibility in measurements even in non-uniform samples. Averaging option can also be enabled in auto measurement mode to determine averaged real-time color attributes.
Color Indices:
Sensegood Spectrophotometer features a set of color indices which are quite desirable in many diversified industries.Affordable:
After a long dedicated cutting edge research, we could develop Sensegood Spectrophotometer which is probably one of the most economic solutions in the world.
Apart from these, it is easy to operate; it comes with a color TFT touch display. Further, it is compact in design and comparatively light in weight. It is engineered with niche electronics and robust firmware algorithm and also it does not need any warm up time.
Sensegood Spectrophotometer is thoughtfully developed considering all the facilities that you desire, to assist you in optimizing the color quality of your products.
