spectro2profiler

spectro2profiler

Objective evaluation of Color, 2D-Gloss and 3D-Structure by combining 4 measurement technologies in one instrument:

  • Color measurement with 45/0 geometry
  • 3D topography data acquisition and analysis using a high precision camera system
  • 2D camera based gloss data acquisition and analysis to determine the reflectivity of the surface in connection with the 3D topography data
  • 60° gloss measurement according to international standards

Features

  • 45/0 color measurement with highest accuracy to measure color as you see it
  • 3D topography measurement with innovative 3D data analysis to determine structure size, structure uniformity, and perceived amplitude
  • 2D gloss measurement to obtain the surface reflection of different height levels. The reflectivity contrast between the hills and valleys correlates with the visual perception of structure depth.
  • Traditional 60° gloss measurement according to international standards
  • Smart high tech LEDs with peak performance for digital standards
  • Large color touch display with icon-based menu for ease-of-use
  • Live preview of measurement spot to avoid false readings and instrument tilting
  • Long-term stable calibration with automatic reminder
  • Extra-long battery life of up to 1000 readings and fast charging during data transfer
  • Efficient data analysis and documentation with smart-chart software

Measuring color as we see it

The spectro2profiler uses a circumferential illumination at 45° with 0° viewing.
Circular illumination is essential for repeatable measurement results on structured surfaces.
The extra-large measurement spot with homogenous illumination guarantees highly repeatable and representative readings.

NEW 3D – Structure Analysis

The spectro2profiler takes multiple images under different illumination directions to estimate surface curvature.
Based on curvature the height map of the surface is calculated resulting in objective measures for cell size (mm²) and perceived cell amplitude (P-μm) using the watershed analysis.
A wide variety of grains can be easily distinguished - ideal for design and approval for new suppliers.

From traditional Gloss to 2D Reflectivity

The perceived depth of a leather-like surface is dependent on the reflection behavior on the hills and valleys.The new spectro2profiler provides a 2D camera based reflectivity measurement which is aligned with the 3D image data to separate the reflection of hills and valleys.The new measurement parameter Reflectivity Contrast Rc, is an ideal measure for production QC of injection or slush molded parts.In order to compare historical data, the spectro2profiler also measures the 60° gloss according to international standards.

Color Measurement and 3D Profilometry with Outstanding Technical Performance

The spectro2profiler uses an innovative, high performance LED light source. Smart testing combined with our long-standing experience guarantees an outstanding performance.

Short-term, long-term and temperature stability as well as a homogeneous illumination spot are unsurpassed in the industry. The long life time of our LEDs, guaranteed for 10 years, ensure low maintenance - no lamp replacement needed.

Color Touch Display

The spectro2profiler offers a 3.5’’ large color touchscreen for ease-of-use.

An icon-based menu with data tables and colorful graphs ensure an intuitive operation as you know it from your smartphone.

You can touch or swipe with your fingers – it even works when wearing gloves!

Live Preview for Precise Positioning

An integrated camera shows a live preview of the measurement spot. This prevents false readings on imperfections or scratches.
Tilting the instrument can be recognized by shadows on the image.
The four rubber pins on the bottom plate of the spectro2profiler ensure stable positioning on flat and curved samples – highest security guaranteed!

Color and 3D Topography Analysis with smart-chart

smart-chart includes a powerful standard management which allows defining Pass/Fail tolerances based on color, gloss and structure parameters.
Measurement results are simultaneously displayed in a data table and a variety of graphs highlighting the samples being out of specification.
The 2D/3D analysis is supported with color coded images to visualize the measurement data for ease of interpretation.
