3nh YS4560 Spectrophotometer (400-700nm; 10nm)

3nh YS4560 Spectrophotometer (400-700nm; 10nm)

In industrial manufacturing environments with strict requirements for color uniformity, evaluation by the naked eye always carries numerous risks. Conventional color measuring instruments utilizing a d/8 integrating sphere structure sometimes face significant limitations when measuring surfaces with rough/textured finishes or special reflective films, as specular reflection light distorts the results. The 3nh YS4560 handheld spectrophotometer stands out as the comprehensive answer—a premium portable device implementing 3nh’s most rigorous 45/0 optical geometry standard, helping enterprises digitize colors independently, objectively, and accurately to Master standards.

Overview of the 3nh YS4560 Spectrophotometer

The 3nh YS4560 is a top-tier premium flagship handheld spectrophotometer meticulously engineered by the 3nh brand to optimize mobile testing capabilities across factories and warehouses while ensuring reliability on par with benchtop laboratory instruments. The device utilizes an internationally standardized 45/0 optical geometric structure (uniform 45-degree circumferential illumination and 0-degree perpendicular signal reception), fully satisfying the strict regulations of CIE No.15 and ISO 5-4 standards.

The core advantage enabling the YS4560 to lead in coating, printing, and traffic material color control applications lies in its diffraction grating spectral separation technology paired with a high-resolution dual-path CMOS matrix sensor system. The instrument smoothly separates visible light energy from the 400 nm to 700 nm wavelength range with an ultra-fine 10nm pitch interval, delivering color quantification results with outstanding repeatability.

Key Features of the 3nh YS4560

💡 Standard 45/0 Optical Geometry – The Nemesis of Gloss-Induced Errors

The most valuable asset of the YS4560 is its rigorously engineered 45/0 optical structure. By illuminating the surface at a 45-degree angle and capturing the signal at 0 degrees, the device completely eliminates specular reflections caused by surface gloss. This allows the instrument to accurately measure the intrinsic core color of materials, perfectly simulating the natural viewing angle of the human eye during product aesthetic evaluations. It is exceptionally optimized for matte textured finishes, woven fabrics, or powder coatings.

💡 Ultra-Fine Spectral Analysis Capability (400-700nm; 10nm Interval)

Featuring a fine 10nm pitch interval across the entire visible light spectrum, the 3nh YS4560 can perform detailed analysis of the spectral reflectance curves of complex molecular pigments (including custom spot colors – Pantone colors). This spectral analysis technology ensures absolute control over metamerism (a phenomenon where colors look identical under shop-floor lighting but exhibit a discrepancy when moved to natural light).

💡 Integrated UV Light Source – Standard Calibration for Fluorescent Materials

Unlike conventional models, the YS4560 features an independent UV light source that accurately activates and analyzes Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs) and fluorescent whitening agents commonly found in premium paper, textiles, or reflective sheeting for signage. This functionality ensures that white values or bright color bands remain distortion-free under any testing light source.

💡 Standard Flat Measuring Aperture and Precise Positioning Design

The YS4560 is equipped with an industry-standard flat measuring aperture (typically configured at Φ8mm), which is the most common size suitable for the vast majority of industrial manufacturing material samples. The flat aperture design allows the device to fit completely flush against large, flat product surfaces, eliminating external stray light interference. Combined with a clearly defined illuminated positioning spot, technicians can easily align the measurement center with absolute precision.

💡 Comprehensive Color Spaces and Ultra-Fast Pass/Fail Evaluation

With a single button press taking less than 1.5 seconds, the sharp industrial graphic display of the YS4560 instantly presents intuitive results:

• A complete set of international color space coordinate systems: CIE Lab, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, RGB…
• The most advanced color difference formulas: Delta Eab, Delta E00, Delta Ecmc, Delta E94.
• Smart tolerance warning mode: Automatically compares the measured sample with the standard sample and instantly displays a “Pass” or “Fail” result based on the allowable tolerance range, helping shop-floor operators rapidly screen for defective parts directly on the production line.

💡 Deep Data Management via PC Software Connection

Via a high-speed USB or wireless Bluetooth data transfer port, the YS4560 effortlessly synchronizes data with professional PC-based color management software. The system supports businesses in storing tens of thousands of standard sample datasets, managing digital color libraries, tracking shade variation trend charts across production batches, and automatically exporting professional quality control reports in PDF/Excel formats to send to major clients.
