CF-300 Spectrophotometer

CF-300 Spectrophotometer

The world-first non-contact, high speed spectrophotometer with 1mm measurement capability and up to 5 measurements a second for small parts or components. Can be configured vertically or horizontally and is system integration ready.

  • Measurement of 8mm (MAV) or 1mm x 0.75mm (XUSAV)
  • Non-contact measurement area either 8mm or 1 x 0.75mm
  • Compatible with camera connection for precision or automated alignment, ideal for system integration and accuracy on super fine 1mm details
  • Measure upto 5 times a second
  • Colour data that correlates with other sphere based spectrophotometers

Next generation hybrid benchtop/camera spectrophotometer with high speed and non-contact measurement

The CF-300 is a next generation hybrid benchtop/camera spectrophotometer. Designed to meet the needs of modern manufacturing, the system is built with production integration in mind and can perform non-contact measurement of colour up-to 5 times a second. 

Colour control on small parts or details presents additional challenges for producers and the value chain.

Although small details are used for visual flair and as sign of quality, they are the most difficult to control. Typical sphere based spectrophotometers have a small aperture of 3mm, requiring colour control of such pieces left to the eye or to parallel technologies. This can make communication, specification and control of colour with suppliers a subjective, costly and imprecise process.

The CF-300 allows both lab and production teams to measure and control colour and colour difference even on tiny parts.

As the CF-300 is a sphere based instrument, the colour data correlates closely to other sphere based spectrophotometers used elsewhere in the colour development specification and QC process.

The CF-300 is unique in the market, the only solution able to measure such a small area, so accurately and at high speed.

The CF-300 is ideally suited to several high value industries such as consumer electronics, watches, eyewear, cosmetics that can make use of its small measurement aperture, fast measurement and integration into high tech manufacturing systems.

Features

The CF-300 offers a solution to manufacturers who need high precision spot colour measurements that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to position manually. A traditional spectrophotometer, even with a sample viewer, can be difficult to align on smaller sample areas. By using the larger illumination / viewing area and camera viewfinder of the CF-300, manual or robotic alignment of the spot offers greatly improved accuracy and repeatability. The CF-300 can also be mounted to x-y robot to automate measurement of one or more positions, measuring at the smallest spot size of 1mm x 0.75mm.


The high speed non-contact colour measurement capability is a significant benefit to:

  • high speed lines of products which could be scratched by contact with an instrument,
  • part manufactured goods that must maintain consistent position during processing,
  • products that are powdery or tacky during the phase when the measurement is required,
  • products with extreme volumes such as clothing buttons.
