User Guide for Konica Minolta CF-300 Spectrophotometer

Measuring Small Target Areas:
The CF-300 is capable of measuring the color of small target areas such as watch faces and straps, smartphone components, eyeglass frames, fasteners, buttons, fountain pens, etc. To measure a small target area, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that the spectrophotometer is properly installed on a stable surface.
2. Turn on the spectrophotometer and allow it to initialize.
3. Position the small target area in front of the spectrophotometer.
4. Adjust the distance between the target area and the spectrophotometer to approximately 1 mm.
5. Initiate the measurement process using the software or controller provided with the spectrophotometer.
6. Record or analyze the measurement data as required.

Non-Contact Measurement:
The CF-300 utilizes an integrating sphere that enables color measurements at a distance of 1 mm from the target object. This non-contact measurement feature is highly useful when measuring the color of cosmetics like lipstick, foundation, wet paint, or other targets that could stain the instrument during contact measurement. To perform a non-contact measurement, follow these steps:

7. Ensure that the spectrophotometer is properly installed on a stable surface.
8. Turn on the spectrophotometer and allow it to initialize.
9. Position the target object in front of the spectrophotometer.
10. Adjust the distance between the target object and the spectrophotometer to approximately 1 mm.
11. Initiate the measurement process using the software or controller provided with the spectrophotometer.

High-Speed Measurement:
The CF-300 features high-speed measurement capability, requiring only about 0.1 seconds per measurement. It can also perform continuous measurements at a minimum interval of approximately 0.2 seconds, allowing up to 5 measurements per second. To perform high-speed measurements, follow these steps:

1. 1. Ensure that the spectrophotometer is properly installed on a stable surface.
   2. Turn on the spectrophotometer and allow it to initialize.
   3. Position the target object in front of the spectrophotometer.
   4. Initiate the measurement process using the software or controller provided with the spectrophotometer.
   5. Record or analyze the measurement data as required.

Capability to Measure Small Target Areas

2. • Capable of measuring targets as small as 0.75×1 mm, the CF-300 can be used to measure the color of watch screws, micro smartphone parts, gaming console components, etc.
   • The view finder cursor makes it easy to pinpoint the measurement area, effectively reducing the likelihood of alignment errors.
     • Measures the color of small target zones such as watch dials and straps, smartphone components, spectacle frames, fasteners, buttons, fountain pens, etc.

Non-Contact Measurement

• The CF-300 utilizes an integrating sphere that enables color measurements at a distance of 1 mm from the target object.
• Sphere-based optical geometry measurements ensure that the CF-300 data is compatible with conventional contact spectrophotometers.
  • Measures the color of cosmetics like lipstick or foundation, liquid paints, or other targets that might contaminate the instrument during contact measurement.

High-Speed Measurement

• Requiring only about 0.1 seconds per reading and capable of continuous scanning at a minimum interval of approximately 0.2 seconds, the CF-300 can perform up to 5 measurements per second*.
• For integration into high-speed production line scanning, the software must be customized according to the customer’s communication protocols.

• Enhancing quality control efficiency through high-speed, non-contact measurements on the production line.
