Description

High-precision spectrophotometer with stability check

The CM-36d Spectrophotometer is a high-precision and high-reliability bench-top instrument capable to measure colour in reflectance for a wide range of applications such as Plastics, Paints, Ceramics, Chemicals etc.

Several further features for your convenience, like status LEDs or camera preview for sample positioning and reporting or flexible port alignment (device can be used horizontally or turned in 90° to measure e.g. powdery materials in “Top-port” style) complete the picture.

Konica Minolta’s patented technologies assure highest accuracy and repeatability levels unseen before in this price class. These technologies combined with superior reliability due to our latest innovative feature “Wavelength Analysis and Adjustment” give our customers the possibility to check and adjust the CM-36d during calibration, to always assure the instrument is in perfect condition.

Features

Customize your own holderFour screw holes and linear guidelines in the front plate enable usage of customizable fixtures to accurately position your samples – and always in a repeatable manner.

Camera previewer for accurate sample positioning

The integrated camera viewer provides a clear preview of the sample for perfect targeting and control the area to be measured. Capture images of the area measured for more accurate reporting.

Horizontal or top-port Reflectance measurements

The CM-36d can measure solid, powdery or liquid samples in reflectance or transmission mode, horizontally or upside down, thus offering great flexibility to measure all kind of samples.

Easy to read tilted LED indicator panel with measurement button

The tilted LED indicator panel shows you all your settings at a glance and what status your device is in. In addition, the measurement button in the panel can be used to measure samples remotely while holding them to the front plate.

Wavelength Analysis & Adjustment – “WAA”

“Analyze – Adjust – Activate” – Konica Minolta’s patented technology to check and adjust wavelength shift during each instrument calibration procedure assures unsurpassed long-term measurement stability and keep measurements stable even for changes in temperature or environment over time.
WAA lets you easily distinguish whether the instrument itself is the cause of a problem or not, without starting guesswork or faulty assumptions
