3nh TS7036 Spectrophotometer (Dual Apertures; Dual-32 array sensor)

3nh TS7036 Spectrophotometer (Dual Apertures; Dual-32 array sensor)

In modern industrial manufacturing quality control processes, maintaining color consistency between batches is the most intuitive measure of a company’s reputation. However, measuring color on various surface types – from large flat blanks to curved, ultra-small components – often leaves businesses with the costly burden of choosing multiple instruments. The 3nh TS7036 portable spectrophotometer is the comprehensive answer – a premium device integrating dual smart measuring apertures and a Dual-32 Array Sensor system, delivering absolute color quantification accuracy at every single position.

Overview of 3nh TS7036 Spectrophotometer

The 3nh TS7036 is a professional portable spectrophotometer in the premium segment of the 3nh brand. The device utilizes the international standard d/8 optical geometry (diffuse illumination, 8-degree viewing angle), fully complying with the strict regulations of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), ISO, and ASTM.

The outstanding power that allows the TS7036 to lead the portable segment lies in its optical grating light-splitting technology combined with a Dual-32 Array Sensor system. The device smoothly separates visible light energy across the 400nm to 700nm wavelength range, delivering measurement results with outstanding repeatability and supreme reliability that closely approach the accuracy of laboratory benchtop instruments.

Key Features of 3nh TS7036

💡 State-of-the-Art Dual-32 Array Sensor Technology

Completely distinct from conventional colorimeters that are prone to data drift, the TS7036 features a dual-row CMOS matrix sensor system with 32 independent filtering elements. This technology enables the device to capture color data in parallel at ultra-high speeds, automatically compensate for ambient temperature variations, and completely eliminate interference from external stray light. Consequently, the device achieves exceptionally high precision with minimal repeatability errors over consecutive measurements.

💡 Outstanding Flexibility with Dual Switchable Apertures

Businesses no longer need to spend money investing in multiple individual measuring devices. With the TS7036, technicians can switch measuring apertures flexibly depending on the geometric characteristics of the product:

• Standard Aperture (Ø8mm): Optimized for flat surfaces and large areas such as molded plastic sheets, leather panels, fabric rolls, and wall paint surfaces.
• Extended Small Aperture (Ø4mm): Specially designed for small parts, complex curved surfaces, electronic components, or narrow packaging labels.

💡 Real-Time Camera Dual Positioning Technology

To ensure that technicians place the measuring head precisely at the center of small and complex details, the 3nh TS7036 integrates a real-time positioning camera that visually displays the measuring area on the screen combined with a clear illuminating indicator line. This feature completely eliminates errors caused by manual misalignment, ensuring the highest objectivity of inspection data.

💡 Simultaneous Integration of Two Advanced Measurement Modes: SCI and SCE

The high-end optical system of the TS7036 allows simultaneous or independent measurement of two modes:

• SCI (Specular Component Included): Measures the core intrinsic color of the material, eliminating the interfering effects of surface gloss or roughness.
• SCE (Specular Component Excluded): Measures the actual color shades as displayed to the human eye, serving well for visual appearance evaluation of products.

💡 Rich Color Spaces and Super-Fast Pass/Fail Evaluation

With just a single operation taking less than 1.5 seconds, the sharp graphical LCD screen of the TS7036 instantly displays the results:

• Full range of international color spaces: CIE Lab, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, RGB…
• The most advanced color difference formulas: Delta Eab, Delta E00, Delta Ecmc, Delta E94.
• Smart warning mode: Automatically compares the measured sample with the standard sample and instantly displays a Pass or Fail result based on the allowable tolerance, helping factory operators quickly screen out defective parts directly on the production line.

💡 Unlimited Connectivity and Cloud Data Management

The TS7036 supports both Bluetooth wireless technology and a high-speed USB-C data port. The device easily synchronizes data with advanced color management software on PCs or smartphone apps to manage international color card libraries (Pantone, RAL), track chromaticity trend charts, and automatically export professional Quality Control Reports (QC Reports) in PDF format to send to partners.

Practical Applications of 3nh TS7036

Thanks to its versatile dual-aperture configuration and highly sensitive dual sensor, the 3nh TS7036 spectrophotometer is widely used in the following fields:

• Plastics Industry: Inspecting the color of incoming plastic resins, plastic blanks, and color uniformity of large molded products such as TV casings, refrigerators, and automotive plastic components (using Ø8mm for the body shells and Ø4mm for buttons and small details).
• Printing & Packaging Industry: Checking color accuracy of printing inks on cardboard boxes, flexible thin-film packaging, and decal labels to ensure compliance with the brand identity logo colors of foreign partners.
• Paint & Plating Industry: Checking color deviation of coating films and powder coatings on extruded aluminum profiles, mechanical components, metal furniture, and architectural woodwork.
• Textile & Leather Industry: Evaluating color quality of dyed fabric rolls, leather pieces, and garment accessories (using the Ø4mm aperture for buttons and zippers).
