PCE XXM 30 Colorimeter (CIE-LAB, CIE-LCh, HunterLab, CIE-Luv, XYZ, Yxy RGB)

PCE XXM 30 Colorimeter (CIE-LAB, CIE-LCh, HunterLab, CIE-Luv, XYZ, Yxy RGB)

The PCE XXM 30 colorimeter is an optimal mobile solution designed to analyze and comprehensively evaluate color parameters based on international standard color spaces such as CIE-LAB, CIE-LCh, HunterLab, CIE-Luv, XYZ, Yxy, and RGB. The device operates based on the D/8-SCI standard optical geometry combined with a full-spectrum LED light source, helping to quickly and accurately check color indicators without damaging the sample.

Outstanding Features

Comprehensive optical measurement system: The device is equipped with a visible full-spectrum LED light source with a wavelength range from 400nm to 700nm along with a standard 8 mm measuring aperture, ensuring precise collection and analysis of spectral reflectance throughout the testing process.

Powerful parameter testing performance: Applying advanced signal processing technology with extremely high repeatability (standard deviation within color difference ΔE*ab less than or equal to 0.1*), supporting diverse color difference calculation formulas (ΔE*ab, ΔE*cmc, ΔE*94, ΔE*00) and intuitive PASS/FAIL evaluation via indicator lights.

Intelligent operation and connection system:

• Flexible device connection interface: Features an ultra-compact pen-shaped ergonomic design (weight of only about 87 grams) with a sharp LCD display screen, combined with an intuitive interface to make measurement operations easy right in the field.
• Bluetooth connectivity and smart app: Integrates wireless Bluetooth communication to connect with Android devices via a free application, allowing parameter modification, remote measurements, reading stored data, and comparing results directly on the phone.
• Combined data processing system: Supports direct data storage on the device and features a modern USB Type-C communication port for battery charging and data transmission.

Manufacturing materials and durable structure: Sturdy cylindrical ergonomic design using high-grade materials, helping to maintain stability in laboratory and production workshop working environments.

Energy-optimized operation mechanism: Uses an integrated rechargeable battery delivering impressive performance with approximately 10,000 measurements per full charge.
