Industry spectrophotometer sph9i

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The ColorLite sph9i is an advanced online spectrophotometer designed for continuous quality control in various industries, including plastics, textiles, and paper. It offers high-resolution color measurement to detect even the slightest color deviations, ensuring product quality and reducing waste.

Specifications
The spectrophotometer features a durable LED light source, real optical gratings, and flexible optical fiber connections. It measures spectral characteristics in 3.5 nm steps, providing approximately 115 values per scan. The system is equipped with a d/0° stainless steel probe head and offers various probe head geometries for different applications, with measuring areas ranging from 2 mm to 38 mm.

Advantages
ColorLite sph9i stands out due to its long-lasting LED light source, which allows for 24/7 operation with minimal maintenance. The system's high scan frequency improves reproducibility, especially for inhomogeneous samples. The spectrophotometer's automatic temperature compensation ensures accurate color measurement despite temperature variations.

Connectivity and Integration
The device supports multiple interfaces, including PROFI-Bus, Ethernet, and Wireless LAN, allowing seamless integration into existing process control systems. It can operate independently of a PC, transferring color data directly to the plant's control system.

Calibration and Maintenance
ColorLite provides automatic calibration units that ensure low maintenance and excellent result stability. The calibration is based on standards certified by the BAM (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung, Berlin), ensuring traceability and accuracy.

Applications
The spectrophotometer is suitable for various industrial applications, including coil coating in the steel industry, where it uses motor-driven probe heads and thermochromatic compensation for precise color measurement.

Technical Data
The main unit dimensions are 210 mm x 110 mm x 45 mm, with a supply voltage of 24 VDC. It operates within a temperature range of 15° to 55° C and a maximum humidity of 85% (non-condensing). The device supports serial communication via USB, RS232, CAN, Profi-Bus, and Ethernet, with isolated digital I/O channels for industrial control systems.

OnlinG SpGCtrOphOtOmGtGr Innovative Farbmesstechnik What are the advantages of the ColorLite sph9i over The systems from ColorLite implement: Extremely durable and long lasting operation - Ideal for online applications i.e. 24 hour/365 day use, LED offer the longest interval before any parts need to be replaced. This means lower servicing costs but also higher reliability. The long life time of the LEDs also means higher scan frequency is possible which improves reproducibility especially on inhomo- geneous samples such as granules As the illumination power remains at the same level over many...
