X-Rite In-Line Color Measurement System ERX130 Non-contact, spectral color measurement on a production machine with coaxial measurement geometry. Advantages of In-Line color measurement Possible corrections before production is out of tolerance result in reduced waste Continuous process monitoring, therefore early identification of disturbances (material, process, control) In-Line color measurement is needed for fast manual control and automatic control, resulting in stable production and faster and better color changes With the coaxial geometry even rough surfaces are measured reliably Large distance to the measured product Large measurement area for good averages Excellent results with real spectral resolution of 1 nm Stable against distance variations Ambient light, web speed and normal flutter do not influence the accurate measurement results Compact style based on the well-known, proven model ERX50 Modular setup, thus even easier to service CAN Bus for faster and more secure data transfer measured sample Functional description ERX130 The ERX130 is a compact In-Line spectrophotometer with the coaxial geometry, typical: illumination at 22.5°, measurement at 22.5° coaxial. The sample is measured non-contact at a distance of 300 mm (11.8 inch) with a measurement spot of Ø90 mm. (Figure 1). For a measurement a sample will be illuminated by white light (Xenon flash lamp, daylight) typically at 22.5° for approx. 2 / 1000 sec. In the same direction (under 22.5°) the reflected light will be collected and guided to a high resolution spectrometer (Figure 2). Simultaneously with the sample measurement a reference measurement of the lamp will be taken with a second high resolution spectrometer (full dual beam design). rnal inte ration calib Power supply External signals ERX130 Non-Contact Spectrophotometer for reflectance measurements Learn More measured sample USB-CAN conv.

Monitoring Color Every Step of your Process In both spectrometers the optical measurement signals will be separated into 401 different wavelength signals via corrected holographic concave gratings and measured via 401 photoelectrical sensors. The result is a true 1 nm spectral measurement resolution. The measurement signals will be amplified and digitised with high resolution. A fast processor calculates corrected spectral reflectance data. These 401 reflectance results (from 330 nm to 730 nm) are the basis for all further colorimetric calculations for any possible illuminant and observer...
