CHN SPEC CR-30 Colorimeter (45/0, ΔE*00≤0.05, 400-700nm, 0.01)

CHN SPEC CR-30 Colorimeter (45/0, ΔE*00≤0.05, 400-700nm, 0.01)

The CHN SPEC CR-30 Colorimeter is a compact portable color measurement device (Colorimeter) that possesses the power of a specialized instrument. Inheriting the standard 45/0 optical system and featuring a powerful upgrade in display resolution, the CR-30 is a perfect solution for visual color evaluation, especially on flat or matte surfaces, helping to most accurately simulate how the human eye perceives color under natural daylight.

Outstanding Features

• Ultra-high display resolution (0.01): The biggest difference of the CR-30 compared to the CR-10 and CR-20 versions is its ability to display results with a resolution of up to 0.01. This allows users to read extremely small color changes, providing more detailed data to serve strict quality control (QC) requirements.
• Standard 45/0 optical system: The device uses an illumination structure at a 45-degree angle and receives signals at a 0-degree angle. This system helps eliminate specular reflection (glare) caused by surface gloss, ensuring the measurement results truly reflect human visual perception.
• Full-spectrum technology (400-700nm): The device is equipped with a sensor that scans the entire visible light spectrum (400-700nm), collecting a large amount of spectral data to analyze color with high accuracy and a much wider color gamut compared to traditional models using RGB sensors.
• Excellent repeatability and stability: The CR-30 delivers impressive repeatability at ΔE*00 ≤ 0.05. The ability to maintain this stability helps manufacturers confidently cross-check multiple times or compare colors between different production shifts without worrying about instrument error.
• Integrated crisp screen & Smart connectivity: The device features a color screen right on the body, allowing users to read results and receive Pass/Fail alerts directly. Additionally, the CR-30 supports Bluetooth connection to mobile applications (iOS/Android), helping to store data, share reports, and look up international color codes (Pantone, RAL, NCS, etc.).
