Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer

MS3006 Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer: Precision Redefined for Complex Finishes

Unlock unparalleled accuracy and consistency in color measurement with the MS3006 Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer. Engineered for the most demanding applications, this state-of-the-art instrument is specifically designed to master the intricate challenges of metallic, pearlescent, and other sophisticated special-effect finishes. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to exact color matching across every product line.

Unrivaled Accuracy for Challenging Colors The MS3006 stands out with its industrial-grade Microcontroller Unit (MCU) and a unique configuration of six measurement angles (45as-15°, 45as15°, 45as25°, 45as45°, 45as75°, 45as110°). This advanced multi-angle capability is crucial for accurately capturing how light interacts with complex pigments, ensuring that color variations are precisely measured under diverse viewing conditions. Whether dealing with dynamic automotive paints or iridescent cosmetics, the MS3006 delivers consistent, reliable results that are impossible with conventional spectrophotometers.

Mastering Special-Effect Finishes Beyond standard color, the MS3006 delves into the nuances of special effects. Its advanced optical system ensures exceptional repeatability in quantifying critical parameters such as Sparkle Grade (SG), which measures the intensity of light reflection; Diffuse Coarseness (DC), indicating the perceived graininess of a finish; and Color Variation (CV), analyzing how color shifts with viewing angle. This detailed effect measurement discrimination empowers manufacturers to achieve precise quality inspection and maintain brand consistency across their product portfolios.

Designed for Precision and Ease of Use The MS3006 doesn't just deliver technical excellence; it offers a superior user experience.

• Intuitive Touchscreen Display: A vivid 3.5-inch TFT color LCD with a capacitive touchscreen provides comprehensive data for all measurement angles, including spectrograms, chromaticity values, color differences, and pass/fail results, streamlining analysis.
• High-Resolution Sensor & Lighting: A 256-element double-array CMOS sensor ensures high speed, accuracy, and stability. Paired with a full-spectrum LED light source with blue enhancement and innovative concave grating technology, it delivers higher spectral resolution and covers a broad wavelength range (400nm-700nm) with low maintenance costs.
• Effortless Sample Positioning: A built-in color camera preview allows for precise positioning of the measured area, even on curved or irregularly shaped surfaces, eliminating measurement errors.
• Ergonomic Design: Comfortable to hold and operate, the MS3006 promotes efficiency and reduces user fatigue during extended use.

Versatile Application and Robust Performance This indispensable tool supports multiple color spaces (CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh) and a wide array of illuminants (D65, A, C, D50, D55, D75, F1-F12), making it adaptable to global industry standards and diverse application needs. It seamlessly integrates into quality control workflows, offering quick measurement times (approx. 1 second per angle, 6 seconds for all six angles) and robust data storage for 1000 standards and 4000 samples.

Compliant with major international standards including ASTM D 2244, E 308, E 1164, E 2194, E2539, DIN 5033, 5036, 6174, 6175-1, 6175-2; ISO 7724, 11664-4, and SAE J 1545, the MS3006 ensures your measurements meet global benchmarks.
