3nh YS6080 Benchtop Spectrophotometer (360-780nm)

3nh YS6080 Benchtop Spectrophotometer (360-780nm)

In high-end research and quality management environments, color quantification goes far beyond the standard visible light spectrum seen by the human eye. For next-generation smart materials, nano-films, optical glass, or textiles containing Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs), enterprises require a Master instrument capable of scanning deeply into the ultraviolet and near-infrared bands to capture the material’s core spectral curve. The 3nh YS6080 benchtop spectrophotometer is the comprehensive answer—a state-of-the-art benchtop instrument boasting an ultra-wide wavelength range of 360-780nm, delivering absolute calibration precision and outstanding repeatability to international laboratory standards.

Overview of the 3nh YS6080 Spectrophotometer

The 3nh YS6080 is a flagship premium benchtop spectrophotometer utilizing an internationally standardized d/8 optical geometric structure (diffused illumination, 8-degree viewing angle) combined with a strictly manufactured large-scale integrating sphere system. The device meets and exceeds the rigorous regulations of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE No.15), ISO 7724/1, ASTM E1164, and DIN 5033 standards.

The key feature that establishes the YS6080’s peak positioning lies in its maximum expanded wavelength scanning range from 360 nm to 780 nm. Combined with a high-resolution dual-path CMOS matrix spectral sensor and a cutting-edge optical diffraction grating, the instrument smoothly separates visible light energy to detect the smallest micro-shade variations where conventional handheld meters fail.

Outstanding Features of the 3nh YS6080

💡 Lab-Standard Maximum Expanded Wavelength Range (360-780nm)

The YS6080 thoroughly excels thanks to its capability to extract a spectral band extending from 360 nm (reaching the UV threshold) up to 780 nm (reaching the near-infrared threshold). This top-tier configuration allows the instrument to precisely analyze the characteristics of Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs) and complex molecular pigments, while completely eliminating errors caused by metamerism to satisfy the strictest acceptance standards of global corporations.

💡 Versatile Dual Measuring Capability: Reflection and Transmission

As a flagship benchtop instrument, the YS6080 features a universal measurement chamber that accommodates all material manufacturing states:

• Reflectance Measurement (SCI and SCE modes): Measures the actual intrinsic color core or surface color appearance of opaque materials such as plastic resins, preforms, powder coatings, dyed fabric rolls, and architectural ceramics.
• Transmittance Measurement: Specialized in measuring color differences, transparency, total light transmittance, and haze for chemical liquids, solvents, PET films, optical glass, or liquid beverages.

💡 Intelligent and Flexible Switchable Measuring Aperture System

The device enables technicians to flexibly handle various material sample sizes from large to ultra-small, thanks to the integration of easily exchangeable measuring apertures. The instrument features automatic recognition of the installed aperture configuration, which automatically synchronizes with the software and minimizes errors caused by manual mechanical operations.

💡 Visual Sample Targeting via Camera and UV Light Control

The YS6080 integrates a real-time camera positioning system that displays a sharp view of the measurement area directly on the touchscreen, helping technicians place the sample perfectly flush against the sensor center to eliminate light leakage. Additionally, the machine includes a dedicated UV light source, allowing accurate control and analysis of the reflectance and characteristics of fluorescent whitening substances on printing paper and fabric surfaces.

💡 Professional PC-Connected SQCX Color Management Software

Via a high-speed USB or Bluetooth data transfer port, the YS6080 synchronizes flawlessly with professional PC-based color management software. The system supports enterprises in storing millions of standard samples, managing global digital color libraries (Pantone, RAL), plotting spectral curve graphs, and automatically exporting professional quality control reports (QC Reports) in PDF format to send to international partners.

Practical Applications of the 3nh YS6080

Thanks to its ultra-wide 360-780nm spectral scanning range and versatile dual capabilities in both reflection and transmission, the 3nh YS6080 serves as a core instrument in the following fields:

• Plastic Resin & Polymer R&D Laboratories: Formulating color recipes for masterbatches and high-performance engineering plastics, and testing the color fastness of plastic preforms prior to mass molding.
• Export Textile Dyeing & Footwear Conglomerates: Auditing the color quality of fabric rolls and dyed yarns according to strict standards from major global fashion brands, particularly for fabrics containing fluorescent whitening agents (OBAs).
• Chemical & Industrial Liquid Industries: Measuring the color quality and transparency of chemical solvents, lubricants, soft drinks, soy sauce, and fish sauce to flat standard metrics.
• Optical Glass & Heat Insulation Film Industries: Checking light transmittance, haze, and the internal color of smartphone tempered glass and thin optical film layers.
