CHN SPEC DS-1000 Bench-top Image Spectrophotometer (d/8, SCI, ΔE*ab≤0.03)

CHN SPEC DS-1000 Bench-top Image Spectrophotometer (d/8, SCI, ΔE*ab≤0.03)

The CHN SPEC DS-1000 Bench-top Image Spectrophotometer is a high-tech bench-top color measurement instrument belonging to the measurement ecosystem of CHNSpec. This is an economical and efficient solution for enterprises requiring pixel-by-pixel spectral measurement technology to inspect small-sized product samples or complex surfaces.

Outstanding Technological Features

Image Spectrophotometry Analysis Technology: Instead of just measuring and taking the average value of a large surface area like traditional colorimeters, the DS-1000 captures a digital image of the sample and analyzes the color data and reflectance of each individual pixel. This technology allows the device to easily recognize and accurately measure small patterns, micro-details, or mixed-color surfaces.

Stable and Reliable Repeatability (ΔE*ab Less Than or Equal to 0.03): The repeatable error margin between measurements reaches an ultra-low level (less than or equal to 0.03) when tested on the standard white tile. This specification ensures high, stable precision, helping your business maintain consistent measurement results across different production shifts.

d/8 Illumination Geometry and SCI Mode:

• d/8-degree Geometry: Utilizes diffuse illumination conditions and an 8-degree viewing angle, fully meeting international standards such as CIE No.15 and ISO 7724-1.
• SCI Mode (Specular Component Included): The measurement includes the specular reflection component, obtaining the actual color nature of the material without being affected by gloss, roughness, or surface light effects.

Visual Camera Positioning: The device integrates an internal camera system that displays the measurement area directly on the computer screen. Operators can easily select the correct position to measure on small details like printed text, components, or fabric fibers without any off-center deviations.

Durable Combined Light Source: Utilizes a combined light source of a Pulse Xenon lamp and LEDs, covering the entire visible light spectrum comprehensively, optimizing spectral measurement precision, and extending the lifespan of the lamp system.

Practical Applications

Thanks to the integration of a digital camera and spectral analysis technology, the CHN SPEC DS-1000 effectively handles color management tasks in research & development (R&D) labs and quality control (QC) departments across various industries:

• Textiles and Footwear Industry: Measuring the color of textile fibers, multi-colored jacquard fabrics, striped patterns, or embossed synthetic leather surfaces.
• Printing and Packaging Industry: Checking the color uniformity of brand logos, small text on labels, or halftone dots where large-aperture measurement devices typically struggle to isolate the area.
• Plastics and Electronic Component Manufacturing: Measuring the color of device buttons, small plastic components, connectors, or checking color uniformity on slightly curved surfaces.
• Paint and Material Coatings: Analyzing the color of test paint panels, thin films, or composite surfaces.

CHN SPEC DS-1000 is a professional and cost-optimized image color analysis solution. The device provides powerful support for enterprises in visual color control, performing exceptionally well with multi-colored, complex surface textured, or small-sized product lines.
