3nh YS3060 Grating Spectrophotometer (400-700nm; 10nm)

3nh YS3060 Grating Spectrophotometer (400-700nm; 10nm)

In modern industrial manufacturing Quality Control (QC) processes, visual color evaluation always poses a high risk of error due to factory lighting conditions and metamerism (where colors match under one light source but mismatch under another). In addition, for premium materials containing fluorescent whitening agents, entry-level colorimeters are completely deceived. The 3nh YS3060 handheld grating spectrophotometer is the comprehensive answer – a flagship portable device featuring an ultra-fine 10nm spectral interval and a dedicated UV light source, helping businesses master color control technology with the ultimate reliability of international lab standards.

Overview of the 3nh YS3060 Spectrophotometer

The 3nh YS3060 is the most premium dedicated handheld spectrophotometer in the YS generation, meticulously developed by the 3nh brand to optimize mobile measurement capabilities in workshops and warehouses while maintaining accuracy comparable to laboratory benchtop instruments. The device adopts the international standard d/8 optical geometrical structure (diffuse illumination, 8-degree viewing angle), fully and strictly complying with the rigorous regulations of CIE No.15, ISO 7724/1, ASTM E1164, and DIN 5033.

The invaluable strength that puts the YS3060 at the forefront of the portable segment lies in its grating spectral separation technology combined with a high-resolution dual-array CMOS matrix sensor system. The device extracts light spectral energy from the 400 nm to 700 nm wavelength range with an extremely small interval step of only 10nm, enabling the detection of the smallest micro-chromatic deviations on material surfaces.

Key Features of the 3nh YS3060

💡 Ultra-fine Spectral Analysis Capability (400-700nm; 10nm Interval)

Featuring a continuous spectral scan range that fully covers visible light with an ultra-fine 10nm bandwidth interval, the 3nh YS3060 can extract the detailed spectral reflectance curve of materials. This technology completely eliminates errors caused by metamerism, ensuring that measurement results achieve the highest objectivity and maintain excellent repeatability across tens of thousands of consecutive tests.

💡 Integrated Independent UV Light Source – Standard Measurement for Fluorescent Materials

The most outstanding advantage of the YS3060 over lower-tier models (such as YS3010, YS3020) is the integration of a dedicated UV light source. This feature allows the device to activate and accurately analyze optical brighteners and fluorescent whitening agents commonly found in premium printing paper, textiles, plastic films, or traffic reflective films, ensuring that white color data remains accurate under any inspection light source.

💡 Flexible Switching of Multiple Smart Measuring Apertures

The YS3060 provides maximum flexibility for businesses by supporting multi-aperture switching configurations (such as Phi 8mm, Phi 4mm, or Phi 1x3mm) depending on the geometrical characteristics of the product. Technicians can use a large aperture for standard flat areas or swap to a small aperture to measure miniature components and complex curved surfaces without investing in multiple separate instruments.

💡 Simultaneous Integration of Premium SCI and SCE Measurement Modes

The advanced optical system of the YS3060 allows technicians to deeply analyze material surface characteristics through two flexible measurement modes:

• SCI (Specular Component Included): Measures the core, intrinsic color of the material, eliminating all interfering effects from matte surface gloss or the roughness of powder coatings and plastics.
• SCE (Specular Component Excluded): Measures the actual color shade displayed to the consumer’s eye, perfectly serving appearance evaluation in accordance with real-world visual perception.

💡 Intuitive Measuring Area Positioning via Camera & Ultra-Fast Pass/Fail Alert

The device integrates a real-time camera positioning system that visually displays the sharp measuring area directly on the touch screen, helping technicians place the measuring head perfectly flat against the target center, eliminating scattered light errors. With a single button press taking less than 1.5 seconds, the device automatically compares the sample with the standard and instantly displays “Pass” or “Fail” based on the allowable tolerance, helping workshop operators quickly screen defective products right on the production line.

💡 Powerful Data Management Software Connectivity & Massive Storage

With a significantly upgraded memory capacity, the YS3060 allows for large-scale storage of standard samples and actual measurement results. Via the high-speed USB data port or smart Bluetooth, the device syncs perfectly with specialized color management software on PCs, supporting the plotting of color variation trend charts, managing electronic color card libraries (Pantone, RAL), and automatically exporting professional Quality Control reports (QC Report) in PDF format to send to major partners.

Practical Applications of the 3nh YS3060

Thanks to its compact portability, fine 10nm spectral scanning, dedicated UV light source, and flexible aperture swap capability, the 3nh YS3060 handheld spectrophotometer is a core instrument in the following fields:

• Plastics & Rubber Industry: Controlling the color consistency of incoming Masterbatch plastic pellets, plastic preforms, and the surfaces of molded plastic products ranging from large to small, such as household plastic panels, TV casings, electronic buttons, and automotive plastic parts.
• Premium Textile & Leather Industry: Inspecting and standardizing the color of fabric rolls and dyed yarns according to strict standards from major global fashion brands, especially fabrics containing Optical Brightening Agents (OBA).
• Paints, Coatings & Plating Industry: Measuring and checking color deviation in powder coatings, coil coatings, and protective layers on large flat metal sheets or narrow aluminum profile bars.
• Printing & Packaging Industry: Checking color deviation of printing ink on paper boxes, flat corrugated cartons, embossed decal labels, plastic bottle caps, and cosmetic tubes, ensuring the brand identity logo color standard for partners.
