3nh MS3003 Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer (3 measuring angles)

3nh MS3003 Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer (3 measuring angles)

In the manufacturing industries of automotive bodies, motorcycle components, premium household appliances, and cosmetics, the application of effect coatings such as metallic paint or mica pearl paint is becoming a leading trend. However, the characteristic of these coating films is that their hue and sparkle change continuously depending on the illumination angle of the light source and the viewing angle of the human eye. Conventional fixed single-angle colorimeters are completely helpless against this color-flop phenomenon. The 3nh MS3003 Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer (3 measuring angles) is the ultimate solution – helping businesses master multi-dimensional color inspection technology in the most accurate and economical way.

3nh MS3003 is a premium portable multi-angle spectrophotometer developed by 3nh – a globally reputable brand in industrial color measurement equipment. The device utilizes a standard multi-angle spectrophotometric geometry, perfectly simulating how human vision evaluates effect coating surfaces when changing the viewing angle.

When performing a measurement, the MS3003 simultaneously illuminates and captures color difference data at 3 core geometric measurement angles (typically including standard aspecular angles relative to the specular reflection angle). Combined with optical grating light-splitting technology and a dual-array CMOS matrix sensor, the instrument deeply analyzes the spectral range from 400nm to 700nm to deliver the most comprehensive quantitative color results.

Key Features of 3nh MS3003

💡 3 Simultaneous Measuring Angles – Capturing the Color-Flop Effect

The most valuable point of the 3nh MS3003 is its ability to collect color data at 3 different viewing angles in just a single button press of less than 2 seconds. This feature helps QC engineers closely track hue variations, evaluate the coarseness and distribution density of aluminum or pearl flakes mixed inside the coating film, ensuring that components achieve a uniform visual effect from any perspective.

💡 Grating Spectrophotometry and CMOS Matrix Sensor Technology

The device applies a premium optical grating system to smoothly separate the visible light spectrum. The highly sensitive CMOS matrix sensor system helps the device automatically compensate for temperature and completely eliminate interference from stray light outside the workshop environment, providing an extremely small standard deviation for repeatability, ensuring that the measurement data always maintains excellent stability.

💡 Sharp Color Display and Super-Fast Pass/Fail Evaluation

The MS3003 features a sharp industrial graphical display, providing an intuitive on-site operational experience:

• Simultaneously displays the spectral reflectance curve graph and chromaticity coordinates at all 3 measuring angles on the same interface.
• Provides all international color spaces (CIE Lab, XYZ, Yxy, LCh…) and advanced color difference formulas (Delta Eab, Delta E00, Delta E*cmc).
• The smart warning mode automatically displays a Pass or Fail result based on the specified tolerance range, helping operators quickly screen out defective parts directly on the assembly line.

💡 Robust Ergonomic Handheld Design with Anti-Slip Grip

The device features an ergonomic pistol-grip design that feels very solid and well-balanced. The body is optimized at surface contact points to ensure an absolute anti-slip grip, supporting technicians in tightly pressing the measuring head against flat or complex curved surfaces like hoods, front bumpers, and rear bumpers without fear of light leakage gaps causing errors.

💡 Unlimited Connectivity and Professional Data Management

The 3nh MS3003 supports high-speed Bluetooth wireless technology and a USB data port. The device easily connects to mobile apps or advanced color management software on PCs, helping businesses store thousands of standard samples, manage international color card libraries (Pantone, RAL), and automatically export professional Quality Control Reports (QC Reports) in PDF format to send to partners.
