BYK-mac Total color impression of effect finishes The appearance of effect finishes is influenced by different viewing angles and viewing conditions. Apart from a light-dark flop and color shift special sparkling effects can be created. The BYK-mac spectrophotometer is unique as it measures both multi-angle color and flake characterization in one portable device. ■ Traditional 5-angle color measurement: 15° / 25° / 45° / 75° / 110° ■ Additional color measurement behind the gloss for color travel of interference pigments: -15° ■ Sparkle and graininess measurement for flake characterization Ergonomic design and easy operation The shape of the instrument is designed to ensure easy handling and true portability. Due to its intuitive menu quality control of metallic finishes has never been easier. ■ Menu guided operation according to your own sampling procedure ■ Designated buttons for standard and sample readings ■ Scroll wheel to select menu functions ■ Large display: complete statistics for selectable values and alphanumerical name input ■ Storage of up to 1000 readings in selectable memories ■ auto-chart software for professional analysis, documentation and data management Reliable readings at any time In order to guarantee stable positioning, the BYK-mac is equipped with trigger pins on the bottom plate of the instrument. If the pins do not have contact with the surface, an error message will be displayed. This ensures reproducible results on test panels as well as curved parts (r > 500 mm). Additionally, the surface temperature is measured and saved with each measurement. 100 BYK-Gardner GmbH • Lausitzer Strasse 8 • 82538 Geretsried • Germany • Tel +49 8171 3493-0 • Fax +49 8171 3493-140
