CHN SPEC DS-1050 Bench-top Image Spectrophotometer (d/8, SCI, ΔE*ab≤0.01)

CHN SPEC DS-1050 Bench-top Image Spectrophotometer (d/8, SCI, ΔE*ab≤0.01)

The CHN SPEC DS-1050 Bench-top Image Spectrophotometer is a premium bench-top color measurement instrument belonging to the high-tech equipment generation by CHNSpec. Similar to the premium DS-1100 version, the DS-1050 model features a unique pixel-by-pixel spectral measurement capability, providing a visual and absolutely precise color analysis solution for complex surfaces.

Outstanding Technological Features

Advanced Image Spectrophotometry Technology: Instead of just taking the average value of a large surface area like traditional colorimeters, the DS-1050 is capable of capturing images and analyzing the color data and reflectance of each individual pixel. This technology allows the device to easily isolate and accurately measure small patterns, micro-details, or non-uniform color surfaces.

Extremely Precise Repeatability (ΔE*ab Less Than or Equal to 0.01): The repeatable error margin reaches an ultra-small level (less than or equal to 0.01) when measuring on the standard tile. This confirms the ultimate stability of the hardware, ensuring that measurement results across tests remain consistent and do not drift over time.

d/8 Geometry and SCI Measurement Mode:

• d/8-degree Geometry: Utilizes diffuse illumination conditions and an 8-degree viewing angle, strictly complying with international standards such as CIE No.15 and ISO 7724-1.
• SCI Mode (Specular Component Included): The measurement includes the specular reflection component. This mode helps measure the actual color nature of the material without being misled by the gloss or roughness of the surface.

Visual Measurement Area Positioning: An integrated high-resolution camera allows users to visually observe the test sample directly on the screen. You can precisely select the required position to measure on microcircuits, fabric fibers, or fine text details without any off-center deviations.

Stable Pulse Xenon and LED Light Source: The combination of a Pulse Xenon lamp and an LED system allows the device to fully reproduce the visible light wavelength range, extending the light source lifespan and delivering highly reliable spectral measurement results.

Practical Applications

Thanks to the integration of a digital camera and spectral analysis technology, the CHN SPEC DS-1050 thoroughly solves difficult color-matching challenges in research & development (R&D) labs and quality control (QC) departments:

• Textiles, Fibers, and Footwear Industry: Measuring color accurately on multi-colored fabrics, checkered patterns, embossed leather surfaces, or fine threads.
• Printing, Labels, and Packaging Industry: Checking the color deviation of micro-text details, brand logos, or halftone dots where conventional measurement devices fail to isolate the target area.
• Electronics Component Manufacturing: Measuring the color of phone buttons, earphone casings, small plastic components on circuit boards, or the color uniformity of display screens.
• Paint, Plastics, and Automotive Industry: Measuring the color of complex curved surfaces, small plastic resin samples, or thin films.

CHN SPEC DS-1050 is a professional image color analysis system. It helps enterprises optimize visual color inspection workflows, performing exceptionally well with small-sized, multi-colored samples, or complex surface textures where standard handheld colorimeters are ineffective.
