Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed technical specifications and features of the PICOGLOSS series of gloss measuring devices, specifically models 560 MC-X, 560 MC-XS, and 562 MC. These devices are used for measuring gloss levels on various surfaces, particularly in the automotive industry.
Specifications:
  • Model 560 MC-X: Features a 60° measuring geometry, three measuring modes, and is compliant with standards such as EN ISO 2813 and ASTM D 523. It is designed for mobile gloss measurement with a focus on ease of use and portability.
  • Model 560 MC-XS: Similar to the 560 MC-X but with a smaller measuring aperture (3 mm Ø) for small parts. It is highly sensitive to surface variations and requires careful handling.
  • Model 562 MC: Offers dual-angle measurement (20°/60°) and is suitable for high and medium gloss surfaces. It is compact and designed for on-site measurements.
Features:
  • All models feature single-key operation, automatic calibration, and a high-contrast LCD display.
  • They include a USB interface for data transfer and evaluation using PICOSOFT software.
  • Power is supplied by round cells, with the option to use USB power when connected to a PC.
Special Features:
  • 560 MC-X: Automatic change-over for mirror-gloss measurements, statistics function, and automatic display resolution adjustment.
  • 560 MC-XS: Designed for small parts with high sensitivity, requiring multiple measurements for accuracy.
  • 562 MC: Detects external light interference and provides a wide range of gloss measurement capabilities.
Accessories: An adapter is available for gloss measurement on curved surfaces, designed to fit the radius of the surface being measured.
Technical Data:
  • Dimensions and weight vary slightly between models, with the 562 MC being the heaviest.
  • All models use LED light sources and Si photo cells for detection.
  • Reproducibility and permissible temperature ranges are specified for each model.
Order Information: Each model comes with a high gloss standard, battery, USB cable, lens cloth, transport case, and operating instructions. Software is available for free download.

Especially in the automotive industry, many users are obliged to arrange themselves with various prescriptions for gloss measurement. The small portable gloss meter PICOGLOSS 560 MC-X was designed for the non-complicated mobile gloss measurement in accordance with the most frequently requested, standardized measurement angle of 60°. But, it considers even also the requirements of some uncommon 60° gloss measurements deviating from the standard, which indeed a lot of users within their daily testing reality are faced with. Single-key operations make gloss measurements extremely easy and comfortable....

Special Features The PICOGLOSS 560 MC-XS is as well as the PICOGLOSS 560 MC-X one of the smallest portable gloss-measuring devices ever designed. Especially even due to the continuously increasing number of enquiries from the automotive range regarding gloss measurements on small parts, the PICOGLOSS 560 MC-XS provides with its remarkably small measuring aperture (round, 3 mm 0) the possibility of gloss measurements. Up to now only a user-dependent non-communicable visual valuing of gloss values was possible. Gloss measurements on small parts require some attention to a few essential facts: It...

Technical Description Model 560 / 562-4

The two-angle gloss meter PICOGLOSS 562 MC with the measuring geometries 20° and 60°, is one of the smallest gloss measuring instruments that have ever been designed. As a consequent logical further development of the one-angle (60°) gloss meter PICOGLOSS 560 MC-X, also the Model 562 MC is as small as a PC mouse and therefore it is extremely suitable for on-site measurements. The 20°/60° measuring geometries and the automatic change-over of mirror-gloss meet the requirements of the gloss ranges “high gloss” (20°) and “medium gloss” (60°) that are mostly used. Due to the compact dimensions of...

Accessories for PICOGLOSS 560 MC-X and PICOGLOSS 562 MC Adapter for gloss measurement on curved surfaces Due to the daily reality of various measurement requirements, the desire for a measurement on curved surfaces is successively increasing and a measurement limited by physical facts is still much more appreciated by many users, than purely visually “confirmed“ estimation. Unfortunately, a standard-compliant measurement on curved surfaces is not really possible, although it also provides measured values that can, however, be quite useful for individual solutions, in which case the following...
