The CM-26d series of portable spectrophotometers by Konica Minolta has been upgraded and completed. It allows simultaneous colour and gloss measurements.
The CM-26dG, CM-26d, and CM-25d are the successors to the CM-2600d and CM-2500d spectrophotometers widely used in the industry. The new devices are portable sphere type spectrophotometers with horizontal alignment, a design most convenient to measure the colour of flat or large samples.
All devices deliver measurement data including (SCI) and excluding (SCE) surface conditions in one measurement sequence, at Ultra-High Speed. With their additional 3mm measuring aperture, the devices perfectly adapt to small sample sizes (not for CM-25d), with the CM-26dG being able to also measure the gloss of a surface with a true, ISO compliant 60° gloss sensor.
While the sample observation port allows perfect sample positioning for measurements, the large colour display shows measurement data either numerically or graphically. With the additional Configuration Tool Software CM-CT1 and the new image-based workflow feature, the devices enable easy configuration across a network and make the actual work for users in the field less erroneous and more convenient.
Working features
While the CM-25d is the perfect choice for cost-effective applications, the CM-26d and CM-26dG were developed with the aim to reduce the exchange of physical samples throughout the value chain. The CM-26d series allows communication of measurement data based on absolute values to enable true "Digital Colour Data Management".
By default, all CM-26d and CM-26dG devices are true Close Tolerance (CT) grade instruments, and thus Konica Minolta proofs once more its unsurpassed ability and expertise in optical precision technology. Highest Inter-Instrument-Agreement (IIA) of just ∆E*ab 0.12 (Average on 12 BCRA tiles) defines a new level of performance.
With its lightweight ergonomic design, optional Bluetooth and high-resolution TFT colour display, the CM-26d series 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 uneducated users, it sets a new standard for easy and fast data handling.
With the additional Configuration Tool Software CM-CT1, administrators can setup and share settings all across their company network, even globally. With the Remote Support feature, support and training of user becomes as easy as never before.
