Konica Minolta CM-17d Spectrophotometer

Key Features of Konica Minolta CM-17d

Excellent Accuracy and Repeatability

Konica Minolta CM-17d features an advanced optical system that guarantees exceptionally high data repeatability and minimal Inter-Instrument Agreement (IIA) variation. This enables your global supply chain to seamlessly synchronize color data without the risk of measurement discrepancies between different manufacturing facilities.

Smart Vertical Design & Camera Viewfinder on Konica Minolta CM-17d

Ergonomic Design: The vertical orientation allows operators to easily and precisely position the instrument on the specimen surface, particularly on small parts or curved geometries.

Integrated Camera Viewfinder: A premium upgrade on the CM-17d is the camera viewfinder, which allows operators to see the exact measurement area in real-time, completely eliminating off-center positioning or targeting errors.

Simultaneous SCI and SCE Measurement

The instrument is capable of measuring both SCI (Specular Component Included) and SCE (Specular Component Excluded) modes simultaneously with a single button press. This feature provides a deeper analysis of how surface gloss influences actual color perception.

Modern and Flexible Connectivity

Sharp Color Display: Intuitive display of measurement results and colorimetric graphs directly on the instrument body.

Wireless Connectivity: Integrated with Bluetooth and a USB port, making it easy to transfer data to SpectraMagic NX2 color management software on PCs or mobile devices.
