3nh PS2060 Spectrophotometer and Color Meter

In modern industrial manufacturing, product color consistency is the ultimate yardstick for brand reputation and quality. Even a minor deviation in hue between shipments can lead to product rejections, causing substantial financial losses for enterprises. The 3nh PS2060 spectrophotometer is an advanced handheld device delivering absolutely precise color quantification solutions, enabling businesses to digitize their color quality control (QC/QA) workflows with the highest level of professionalism.

Overview of the 3nh PS2060 Spectrophotometer

The 3nh PS2060 is a premium portable spectrophotometer developed by 3nh – a world-leading brand in color measurement technology. The device utilizes an international standard d/8 optical geometry (diffuse illumination, 8-degree viewing angle) paired with an ultra-sensitive dual-path CMOS matrix spectral sensor system.

By performing an in-depth analysis of the spectral reflectance curve of material surfaces, the PS2060 does not merely measure basic color differences; it precisely isolates hue parameters within color spaces to yield highly stable, laboratory-grade measurement results.

Key Features of the 3nh PS2060

💡 Absolute Precision and Exceptional Repeatability

Equipped with a high-performance diffraction grating system and a high-speed processing chip, the 3nh PS2060 features an extremely small standard deviation for repeatability. This ensures that even when executing consecutive measurements on the same sample, the output data remains completely consistent, entirely eliminating instrument error margins.

💡 Flexible Toggling Between SCI and SCE Modes

SCI (Specular Component Included): Specially used to measure the actual color of materials without being influenced by surface gloss or texture variables.

SCE (Specular Component Excluded): Accurately reflects the color as perceived by the human eye in real-world environments, making it highly useful for visual product appearance audits.

💡 Diverse Color Spaces and Comprehensive Inspection Indices

With just a single test operation taking less than 1.5 seconds, the PS2060 delivers an exhaustive array of specialized color metrics:

• International Color Spaces: CIE Lab, LCh, XYZ, Yxy, RGB.
• Advanced Color Difference Formulas: Delta Eab, Delta Ecmc, Delta E94, Delta E00.
• Abundant Auxiliary Indices: Whiteness (WI), Yellowness (YI), Staining degree, Color Fastness, and intuitive spectral reflectance graphs.

💡 Ergonomic Design and Sharp Color Display

The instrument features a robust, vertical handheld form factor that fits comfortably in the palm. The large color LCD screen and user interface display color difference metrics and Pass/Fail results with exceptional clarity, allowing operators on production lines to interpret data and sort defective products instantly.

💡 Smart Connectivity and Cloud Data Management

The 3nh PS2060 supports flexible Bluetooth and USB connectivity. The device synchronizes seamlessly with the proprietary CQCS3 color management software on PCs or mobile apps, allowing engineers to store thousands of standard target references, plot color deviation trend charts, and export professional QC reports to send to partners.
