CHN SPEC CS-580 Handheld Spectrophotometer (d/8, 400~700nm, 2s)

CHN SPEC CS-580 Handheld Spectrophotometer (d/8, 400~700nm, 2s)

The CHN SPEC CS-580 Handheld Spectrophotometer is a specialized color measurement and comparison device manufactured by CHN SPEC. The device features a compact handheld design, integrating various advanced technologies to ensure accurate color measurement across a wide range of material surfaces.

Key Features

• Advanced optical system: The device uses D/8 measurement geometry (diffuse illumination, 8-degree viewing angle) along with the SCS optical engine (light splitting and integrating system) to collect data with high repeatability and accuracy.
• Simultaneous SCI and SCE measurement: The instrument can simultaneously measure both SCI (Specular Component Included – to measure the true color of the material) and SCE (Specular Component Excluded – to evaluate color similar to human visual perception).
• CLEDs light source: Utilizing a CLED light source (full-band balanced LED) avoids the spectral deficiency commonly found in standard white LEDs, ensuring highly accurate results.
• Automatic gloss compensation technology: Gloss significantly affects color perception. The device integrates automatic gloss compensation technology, maintaining accuracy on surfaces with varying roughness and gloss levels.
• Camera positioning: Equipped with a camera that helps users easily observe and accurately position the measurement area, avoiding positional deviations compared to aiming by eye.
• ETC (Every Test Calibration) technology: A built-in white calibration board inside the optical system allows the instrument to automatically calibrate during each measurement, ensuring high stability.
• Color QC management software: Comes with PC software that supports connection, color data management, storage, data retrieval, and report printing.

Practical Applications

With a standard spectral measurement range (400~700nm), rapid measurement time (2s), and mobility (handheld), the CHN SPEC CS-580 spectrophotometer is widely used for QC (quality control) and color matching in the following industries:

• Paint and surface coating industry.
• Textile, garment, footwear, and dyeing industry (fabric color matching).
• Plastic, packaging, and printing industry.
• Food processing, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.
• Building materials and ceramics manufacturing…
