ColorLite ColorCube

The simplest solution for the laboratory – with single button operation

 

Advantages

  • Different geometries available: d/8°, d/0° and 45°/0°
  • Solid aluminium housing with high quality hard anodised coating
  • Fast and accurate measurement in 0.5 seconds
  • Visual pass/ fail display via colour backlighting
  • High powered LED-light source with an optimal life span

Description

The ColorCube benchtop spectrophotometer – minimalistic and functional design – works easy and looks good.

Made from only the highest quality materials: solid aluminium housing, stainless steel trimming, illuminated safety glass cover and combining this with state of the art metrology technology.

Using high performance LED’s, with a life span of over 20 years and a grating spectrometer we can ensure perfect stability over its life time.

The ColorCube series can be connected easily via Bluetooth or USB cable with any Windows PC or tablet, together with the comprehensive quality assurance software offers your company the perfect solution for your laboratory.

The ColorCube series is available in different versions, with different scanning areas from 2 mm (d/8° geometry) to 80 mm (d/0° geometry) for a wide range of applications.

You can not only measure colour data with the ColorCube quickly and accurately, but also manage the data using our QS-software ColorDaTra to review, compare values and create professional reports in all common colour scales.

45/0° probe head – like the eye see´s it

The 45°/0° measuring geometry is standardised in DIN standard 5033. The sample is illuminated at an angle of 45° with a direct light source and the reflected light is measured at 0°. The measurements of this measurement geometry come closest to the vis…

d/8° probe head – the sphere geometry

The standardized d/8° measuring geometry is described in the DIN 5033. The probe is illuminated with a diffuse light source and measured at an angle of 8°. The diffuse light is generated in a so called integrating sphere. The gloss of the surface is me…

d/0° probe head – measuring inhomogeneous samples

The d/0° measuring heads ( and -adapters) MA38 and MA80 illuminate the sample with a diffuse LED light source on an area of 38 mm or an 80 mm respectively. These versions are used to measure inhomogeneous samples such as granules, food, wood paints or…
