Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer KS003
Designed specifically for evaluating the appearance of effect finishes, the 3NH KS003 precisely captures color variations at multiple angles. It delivers accurate and consistent measurements for solid colors, metallic finishes, and other special effect coatings, making it an ideal quality control solution for industries such as automotive and plastics.
Powered by an industrial-grade MCU and equipped with three measurement angles, the KS003 ensures high precision and stability on both flat and curved surfaces. With an inter-instrument agreement as low as 0.2 ΔE*00, it effectively detects color inconsistencies during production, helping to prevent unnecessary rework.
1. 3-Angle Simultaneous Measurement - Precisely captures special effect colors.
Synchronous 3-Angle Measurement： Employs a 1-receiver, 3-light-source design to simultaneously measure three angles (45°as15°, 45°as45°, 45°as110°). Eliminates the need for multiple adjustments, boosting measurement efficiency by 3x.
Comprehensive Surface Coverage： Accurately evaluates appearance variations across all types of effect finishes, including automotive paints, plastic components, and cosmetic packaging.
Globally Accepted Standards： Compliant with 12 international standards, including ASTM D2244, DIN 5033, and ISO 7724, ensuring universally valid measurement results.
2. 10-Year Light Source Life - Industry benchmark for reliability.
Extended Durability： Blue-enhanced, full-spectrum LED source lasts for 10 years or 5 million measurements, more than triple the lifespan of standard light sources.
Spectral Integrity： Covers the full visible range (400nm-700nm) with no missing bands, enhancing measurement accuracy for metallic and pearlescent colors.
Low Maintenance ： Eliminates frequent source replacements, reducing annual maintenance costs. Ideal for 24/7 continuous factory operations.
3. Concave Grating Spectroscopy + CMOS Technology - High-Precision Measurement
Core Hardware Configuration： 256-pixel dual-array CMOS detector combined with concave grating spectroscopic technology delivers higher resolution for precise color measurement.
High Repeatability： Chromaticity value repeatability of 0.02 ΔEab and inter-instrument agreement of 0.2 ΔE00 ensure seamless data comparison across different factories or devices.
Fast Response： Measures a single angle in just 1 second and completes full three-angle measurement in 3 seconds, offering enhanced efficiency over traditional instruments.
4. Full-Dimension Visualized Data - Zero Learning Curve
Intuitive Display： 3.5-inch true-color touchscreen directly shows spectral graphs, color difference values, pass/fail judgments, and color simulations.
Smart Positioning： Built-in color camera preview accurately locates the measurement area, preventing errors caused by misalignment.
Flexible Operation： Supports button and software dual triggers, with single, continuous, and average (1-99 times) measurement modes for diverse application needs.
5. Comprehensive Color Compatibility - Tailored for Diverse Industries
Multiple Color Spaces： Supports 8 color spaces, including CIE LAB, XYZ, LCh, and Hunter Lab, meeting industry standards for automotive, plastic, and cosmetic applications.
Wide Range of Color Difference Formulas： Features mainstream formulas such as ΔEab, ΔE94, ΔE*cmc (2:1/1:1), ΔE*00, DIN ΔE99, ΔE DIN6175, various automotive brand-specific formulas, ΔE(Hunter), ΔEch, and ΔEuv.
Versatile Observation Conditions： Offers 30+ illuminants (D65, A, D50, etc.) and dual 2°/10° observer angles to meet testing requirements across different countries and regions.
6. Applications
Automotive Industry： Multi-angle color control for metallic body paints and pearlescent bumpers, ensuring color consistency across entire vehicles.
Cosmetics Industry: Batch-to-batch comparison of pearlescent effect colors (lipstick, eyeshadow, etc.), reducing customer complaints caused by visual discrepancies.
Plastics Industry: Measurement of special effect colors on appliance casings and toys, guaranteeing color uniformity across different manufacturing sites.
