Colour & Appearance Solutions Spectrophotometer CM-25cG The CM-25cG is a state-of-the-art solution for colour measurement of interior trim in the automotive industry, with excellent correlation to visual assessment and the benefit of a built-in gloss sensor. Automotive interiors combine different materials, textures and levels of gloss with the aim of creating a quality environment for the customer. Each element must be considered as part of the whole assembly where it is viewed at different angles and in real-world lighting. The 45°:0° geometry of the CM-25cG (and its predecessor the CM-2500c/CT)...

Spectrophotometer CM-26dG Unsurpassed usability for the measurement of all kinds of materials from glossy to matt, curved or flat. Within global supply chains, manufacturers and suppliers have to work hand-in-hand when it comes to Total Quality Assurance. Reliable colour data is essential for flawless colour communication throughout the manufacturing process, from R&D to Production and Quality Assurance. Especially where components may have different surface characteristics, a device that can evaluate or ignore gloss is required. The 26dG-series is Konica Minolta’s newest user-friendly d:8° spherebased...

Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer CM-M6 Portable and reliable colour measurement of metallic or effect coated parts and surfaces. Designed for reliable and repeatable colour measurement of metallic and effect surfaces, the CM-M6 is particularly suitable for measuring small, curved or complex parts. The innovative, patented, multi-angle optical measurement system of the CM-M6 is optimised to give accurate and stable results on all exterior parts, even mirror bodies and door handles. The patented double-path illumination system with directed 45° illumination uses high-colour rendering white LEDs and...

Close-Tolerance Glossmeter Rhopoint IQ-S Designed to exceed automotive Interior and Exterior measurement standards for gloss. The Rhopoint IQ-S measures not only gloss but also additional gloss-related values that affect the surface appearance. Standard glossmeters only measure gloss, meaning that the values obtained do not always match the visual assessment, leaving room for subjectivity and uncertainty. While standard glossmeters only measure how much light is reflected from a surface, the IQ-S profiles how light is reflected from a surface and characterises effects which dramatically reduce...

Rhopoint IQ-FLEX 20-S Remote-head glossmeter for automotive exterior gloss and appearance measurements of complex-shaped parts and surfaces. Rhopoint IQ-Flex 20-S allows operators to measure gloss for parts that would have previously been impossible, facilitating quality control of small and complex parts such as door handles or anodised brand emblems to check that these fulfil the requirements of the manufacturer. Featuring the same technology as the Rhopoint IQ-S, the small footprint of the IQ-FLEX 20-S remote sensor head brings this technology to a new format, specifically designed for difficult...

Rhopoint TAMS™ Rhopoint TAMS™ (Total Appearance Measurement System) is the first device to quantify the visual quality perception of the complete vehicle finish “as the eye sees”. Rhopoint TAMS™ is a new way of quantifying surface appearance quality, developed in collaboration between Rhopoint Instruments, Volkswagen AG and AUDI AG. This innovative new technology models the human perception of surface appearance quality, analysing a range of measurements (contrast, sharpness, waviness and dominant structure size) to characterise “QUALITY” and “HARMONY”. TAMS™ revolutionises the understanding...
