Spectrophotometers / Portable CM-512m3

Product catalog summary
Overview: The CM-512m3 is a multi-angle spectrophotometer designed for on-site operations and curved surface measurements, particularly suitable for metallic and pearl coatings. It uses a unique illumination method from three angles (25º, 45º, and 75º) to measure color changes based on illumination angle, correlating well with visual evaluations.
Key Features:
  • Multi-Angle Illumination: Provides stable measurements unaffected by instrument orientation, suitable for both flat and curved surfaces.
  • Graph Display Function: Allows easy color judgment on production sites without a computer, with tolerance settings for target data.
  • Evaluation Equation: Utilizes the ∆E00 (CIEDE2000) equation for accurate correlation with visual evaluations, especially for metallic/pearl coatings.
  • Pre-Flash Function: Optimizes measurement intensity, reducing power consumption and improving repeatability for low reflectance samples.
Applications:
  • Automotive Exteriors: Ideal for measuring metallic/pearl coatings on car bodies and bumpers.
  • Textured Materials: Suitable for automotive interiors with large, deep patterns.
  • Other Uses: Applicable to personal computers, home appliances, construction materials, and office furniture.
Specifications:
  • Illumination/Viewing System: 3-angle circumferential illumination with 1-angle perpendicular viewing.
  • Detector: Silicon photodiode array with spectral filter array.
  • Wavelength Range: 400 to 700 nm with a 20 nm pitch.
  • Reflectance Range: 25º: 0% to 300%, 45º and 75º: 0% to 200%.
  • Light Source: Three pulsed xenon lamps.
  • Measurement Interval: Minimum 7 seconds.
  • Battery Life: Approximately 400 measurements at 10-second intervals.
  • Interface: RS-232C Terminal with IrDA.
  • Display: Dot-matrix reflective LCD.
  • Operating Conditions: 0ºC to 40ºC, relative humidity 85% or less.
Safety Precautions: Users are advised to read the instruction manual before use, ensure proper power supply connection, and use specified batteries to avoid fire or electric shock.
Accessories: Includes standard and optional accessories such as a hand strap, calibration boxes, grip, hard case, and color data software.

Spectrophotometers / Portable CM-512m3-2

The CM-512m3 measures colors by illuminating subjects from three angles simultaneously (25º, 45º and 75º), making it suitable for subjects such as metallic/pearl coatings used for automotive exteriors or for the textured materials used for automotive interiors and allowing the changes in color according to the illumination angle to be measured. Unlike conventional spectrophotometers, correlation of the measurement results with visual evaluation of such subjects can be achieved. The ring-shaped illumination ensures stable measurement without being affected by the orientation (rotational deviation)...
