Description

3nh KS012 is a multi-angle spectrophotometer designed for complex special effect color measurement. It uses grating spectroscopy and a multi-angle system to precisely capture effect finishes in automotive, plastic, cosmetic, and coating industries. With 12 precisely arranged measurement angles and a blue-enhanced full-spectrum LED light source, the KS012 delivers accurate and consistent color measurement for solid, metallic, pearlescent, and other complex special effect colors.

1. Full-Scene Coverage: 12 Angles for Complex Finishes

The KS012 sets the standard for quality measurement of special effect and complex materials. With 12 spectral angles covering a full range from low to high, it precisely captures color variation in effect finishes. Suitable for solid, metallic, pearlescent and all effect finish types, it meets diverse measurement needs across automotive exteriors, plastics, cosmetic packaging and more.

2. Four Effect Measurement Functions

Quickly and accurately assess and define color, sparkle, sparkle grade and graininess characteristics on complex surfaces, with excellent repeatability and reproducibility.

3. High Precision: 0.18 Inter-Instrument Agreement

An inter-instrument agreement as low as 0.18 ∆E* ensures consistent data across different plants and regions.

Supports storage of 1000 standards and 10000 samples for easy traceability.

Compatible with international color standards, data can be integrated into global supply chains. Multi-language support (English, Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian) adapts to global teams.
