Outstanding Features

Standard D/8 Optical Technology: The device utilizes an integrating sphere to create a uniform diffuse light source on the material surface. This characteristic helps the device minimize errors that may arise from texture direction, roughness, or surface conditions, providing highly generalized and stable measurement results.

Flexible 2-Aperture System (11mm & 6mm): Unlike devices with only a single fixed aperture, the DS-400 offers two easily switchable options: a large aperture (11mm) ideal for measuring wide, flat, and uniform surfaces; and a medium aperture (6mm) for measuring smaller details or surfaces with slight curves.

Reliable Stability and Repeatability: With an impressive error margin (ΔE*ab ≤ 0.03), the device ensures high repeatability, keeping measurement data consistent across multiple tests. This feature plays a crucial role in helping manufacturers accurately evaluate color deviation between different batches.

Ergonomic Design and Independent Operation: The device features a compact and lightweight handheld design, allowing for easy one-handed operation right on the production floor. The built-in crisp color screen intuitively displays color data and Pass/Fail evaluation results without needing a continuous connection to computer software.

Practical Applications

Thanks to the stable D/8 structure and 2 popular measurement apertures, the CHNSpec DS-400 is a versatile device, highly suitable for manufacturing industries with medium to large-sized samples:

• Plastics and Packaging: Color inspection of plastic pellets, nylon films, and standard-sized plastic injection-molded products.
• Paints and Coatings: Evaluating color deviation of paint on flat test panels, metal surface coatings, and electrostatic powder coatings.
• Textiles and Garments: Color measurement on woven fabrics, raw fabrics, and evaluating the uniformity of dyed colors over large areas.
• Furniture and Building Materials: Color analysis of ceramic tiles, engineered wood, aluminum/glass panels, wall paints, and interior decoration components.
