CM-M6 Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer

The CM-M6 is a portable multi-angle spectrophotometer especially designed for color measurement of metallic or effect paints, such as pearlescent coatings, which can exhibit a noticeable visual change with specific angles of view. It uses a new, patented double-path illumination system with directed 45° illumination and 6-angle observation (-15°/15°/25°/45°/75°/110° aspecular) from two sides to accurately measure painted parts at the automotive production floor.

Features

  • ◉ Measurement of automotive exteriors with high precision
  • ◉ Multi angle model which can measure from 6 angles
  • ◉ Patented “Double path optical system” for stable measurement on curved surfaces
  • ◉ Compact and lightweight model for measuring exteriors of the vehicles
  • ◉ 6mm diameter viewing beam for small surface measurement
  • ◉ 3.5” color LCD screen that can show results by numerical and colored graphs

Application

  • Designed for color measurement of metallic or effect paints, such as pearlescent coatings, which can exhibit a noticeable visual change with specific angles of view - Automotive Exterior.
