Konica Minolta Portable Spherical Spectrophotometer CM-26d
The CM-26d is the next generation of portable sphere spectrophotometer with a horizontal alignment, a design convenient for measuring the color of flat or large samples and narrow spaces and easy operation by right or left handed users.
The CM-26d portable spectrophotometer offers unprecedented accuracy/inter-instrument agreement (IIA), usually reserved for laboratory-grade instrumentation. This precision will allow superior color communication throughout the supply chain, from supplier to final assembly. The CM-26d has an IIA of 0.12 DE* (average of 12 BCRA tiles), which is approximately 40% better than its predecessor.
The CM-26d can switch between Ø8mm and Ø3mm measurement areas for measuring parts of different sizes. It is equipped with an illuminated viewfinder for accurate positioning on patterned subjects or small parts, and instrument surfaces that come in contact with the measurement subject are designed to minimize subject damage, giving repeatable results.
With its lightweight ergonomic design, optional Bluetooth™, and high-resolution TFT color display, the CM-26d is perfectly suited for applications in the field. Being able to filter stored data based on additional information (tagging) as well as image-based workflows for easy and simple usage by operators with limited instrument experience, it sets a new standard for easy and fast data handling.
The CM-26d offers additional features to improve workflow, eliminate waste/rework, and offer customers general cost savings on color-related processes. The new Job function allows for graphical representation/instructions for routine color measurements to be made within specific processes. Combined with a reduced measurement time, this allows users of all levels to maintain high levels of productivity, accuracy, and consistency. Also available as a free download is the CM-CT1 Configuration Tool software that allows users to create/write instrument settings as well as compile them into a file and share them within its supply chain to ensure instrument settings are consistent.
Features:
- d:8° geometry with Xenon Flash technology and Illuminated Sample Viewfinder
- Two measurement areas: MAV (8mm) and SAV (3mm)
- Best-in-class Inter-Instrument-Agreement for true “Digital Color Data Management”
- Connectable via USB and optional Bluetooth™
- Large and easy-to-read high-resolution 2.7” TFT color display
- Group sorting of data by user-definable tags
- Image-based workflows
2 measurement apertures: Choice of either medium aperture measurement (8mm) or small aperture measurement (3mm) to adapt to small or patterned samples.
Large color display: Simple user interface minimizes the risk of operator errors, and measurement data is displayed both numerically and graphically.
Rechargeable battery: lithium-ion battery is charged via USB bus power, and additional batteries can be charged with an external charger (optional).
Sample observation port: Illuminated sample positioning window allows the operator to accurately and repeatably position the measurement aperture.
Configuration Software: Compatible with the CM-CT1 software that allows an administrator to quickly configure multiple instruments, lock device settings, and perform remote troubleshooting and training over screensharing software.
Close tolerance by default: Maximize the accuracy and certainty of digital color data throughout the supply chain, confident that all measurement data is traceable.
