Konica Minolta Uni Gloss 60S Gloss Meter: The Solution for Small and Curved Surfaces
In product quality control and assurance (QC/QA), surface gloss plays a critical role in determining aesthetic appeal and product finish. However, measuring gloss on small-scale components, narrow slots, or highly curved surfaces has always posed a major challenge for conventional gloss meters.
To address this challenge, Konica Minolta developed the Uni Gloss 60S Gloss Meter as part of its next-generation gloss measurement instrument lineup. Featuring a micro-aperture design (Small Aperture), this device delivers absolute precision for the most complex part geometries.
Overview of Konica Minolta Uni Gloss 60S
The Konica Minolta Uni Gloss 60S is a specialized, handheld geometry gloss meter. The primary differentiator that elevates this model above standard instruments (such as the Uni Gloss 60A) is its heavily minimized measurement aperture size.
This instrument is widely implemented to inspect specimen types with restricted surface areas, intricate electronic parts, or rounded contours on automotive interiors, enabling strict quality standard synchronization.
Key Features of Uni Gloss 60S
Proprietary Small Aperture Technology
While conventional devices require a large measuring area, the Uni Gloss 60S requires an ultra-small surface area of only.
This engineering design allows the device to fit perfectly against highly curved surfaces, micro plastic parts, trim moldings, or complex specimen geometries without light leakage issues that could distort measurement data.
Ergonomic Design and Intuitive User Interface
Next-Generation Color LCD Screen: Renders clear, high-contrast measurement results directly on the production floor, even under low-light conditions.
Effortless Operation: Features a smart navigation scroll wheel, enabling operators to perform calibration, routine measurements, and data statistics rapidly with minimal steps.
Intelligent Auto Diagnosis Functionality
The instrument integrates an advanced self-diagnostic system that constantly monitors device operational health and automatically alerts the user when calibration is required. This guarantees long-term measurement data stability and high reliability.
Robust Data Logging and PC Connectivity
Internal memory stores up to 999 measurement records complete with precise date and time stamps.
Supports Smart-chart (Smart-lab Gloss) data management software via USB interface, streamlining report generation and trend chart analysis on a computer.
