ColorLite sph860

The Spectrophotometer ColorLite sph860 is a colour measuring instrument suitable for a wide range of applications. By using newest micro systems components the development of a device that is compact, easy to use, with an ideal price performance relationship was possible.
The probe head is, in comparison to other systems on the market where the probe head is integrated into the device, connected via a flexible cable with the base unit. Hereby greatly improving the handling of the device.
The small diameter of the measuring spot (3.5 mm) also enables small and curved probes, such as cables and pens, to be scanned.

Applications:
  • Measurement and registration of colours of incoming and outgoing goods for QM-systems according to DIN EN ISO 9000
  • Objective quality control of colours within the production line
  • Control of colour difference to a given standard

Delivery includes:
  • White standard with certificate from “Bundesanstalt f. Materialforschung”
  • Certificate of Conformity
  • Battery charger (110-240V, 50/60 Hz) with cradle
  • Rechargeable battery
  • USB cable
  • Aluminium transport case with foam padding
