3nh CR1 Colorimeter (0.1; 10°; ΔE*ab 0.1)

3nh CR1 Colorimeter (0.1; 10°; ΔE*ab 0.1)

In the industrial processing and manufacturing workflow, color consistency control is the core element to ensure product quality. However, investing in bulky, expensive color measurement systems is often a difficult challenge for small and medium-sized workshops, or for sales personnel who need to inspect actual samples on-site. The 3nh CR1 Smart Mini Colorimeter is the perfect answer – an ultra-compact format device featuring a measurement repeatability reaching a Delta E*ab index below 0.1 and a standard 10-degree observer angle, turning your smartphone into an extremely professional mobile color management center.

Overview of the 3nh CR1 Smart Colorimeter

The 3nh CR1 is a smart mini handheld colorimeter optimized by the 3nh brand for mobile measurement capabilities. The device utilizes the international standard d/8 optical geometric structure (diffuse illumination, 8-degree viewing angle) combined with the CIE 10° Standard Observer angle, fully meeting the stringent standards of industrial color matching.

What makes the CR1 gain the absolute trust of technicians lies in its stability. With a display accuracy detailed to 0.1 and a measurement repeatability strictly controlled at a Delta E*ab level below 0.1, the machine delivers highly reliable color quantification results, completely eliminating subjective human eye arguments between workshop departments.

Outstanding Features of the 3nh CR1

💡 High Accuracy in a Mini Design (Delta E*ab below 0.1)

Despite its compact size, which is as small as a premium lipstick, the 3nh CR1 is equipped with a modern optical sensor system featuring a display accuracy of 0.1. The measurement repeatability reaches a Delta E*ab index below 0.1, ensuring high data consistency across multiple consecutive triggers, which helps the QC department quickly detect micro-chromatic deviations on product surfaces.

💡 10° Standard Observer Angle

The 10-degree observer angle is the golden standard that most accurately simulates how the human eye perceives and evaluates large color blocks in reality. The integration of this observer angle enables the measurement data of the 3nh CR1 to achieve extremely high compatibility and synchronization with the actual visual perception of color matching engineers and accepting clients.

💡 Convenient Smart Auto-Calibration

Businesses no longer have to worry about forgetting to calibrate the device before a work shift, which leads to data drift. The 3nh CR1 integrates a premium white calibration tile right inside its lens protective cap. Every time the device is turned on, it automatically executes an internal optical calibration process, ensuring the instrument is always in its highest precision state.

💡 Universal Mobile App Connection – Lightning-Fast Cloud Digitization

Via a high-speed wireless Bluetooth connection, the CR1 synchronizes perfectly with intensive color management applications on smartphones (supporting both Android and iOS), bringing outstanding features:

• Automatic Color Code Lookup: Simply press the device and trigger a measurement; the App automatically checks spectral data and identifies the closest matching color codes in international Pantone, RAL, and NCS libraries.
• Cloud Data Storage: Assists designers in creating personal color card libraries for each project and easily sharing digitized color data with partners or manufacturing plants via Zalo or Email instantly.

💡 Minimalist Operation and Lightning-Fast Pass/Fail Evaluation

The instrument is equipped with a single measurement trigger button and a smart LED status indicator system. When connected to the App, the device calculates the color difference index between the actual sample and the reference standard extremely fast, returning instant visual warning results that help workshop operators quickly screen defective parts directly on the production line without wasting time waiting.

Practical Applications of the 3nh CR1

Thanks to its high accuracy of Delta E*ab below 0.1, accurate 10-degree observer angle, and absolute mobility, the 3nh CR1 mini colorimeter is widely applied in:

• Interior Design & Color Matching Industry: Assists architects in quickly measuring real-world colors of walls, wood samples, and fabric curtains on-site to look up corresponding paint codes on Pantone/RAL color cards for precise color 3D rendering.
• Printing & Paper Packaging Design Industry: Quickly verifies the color consistency of trial prints and flat strip labels, helping sales personnel professionally approve colors directly with clients.
• Molded Plastics & Rubber Industry: Rapidly screens chromatic deviations of molded plastic components and household appliance casings right at the factory floor site at the start of a shift.
• Paint & Thin-Film Coating Industry: Flexibly measures and inspects the color deviation of touch-up paint layers and powder coatings on mechanical components or flat matte appliances directly at the warehouse yard.
