The PCE CSM 2 Color Meter proves to be a true multitasking device.
It's designed to measure the color spectrum of various objects. Light
consists of a broad spectrum of colors which are not always purely
white, black or blue. A light-source illuminates an object, which then
absorbs part of that light and reflects another one. That reflected
light can be then detected by a sensor in order to determine the
reflected wavelengths and thus calculate its color. Colorimeters are
often applied in areas of quality control in industrial sectors.
Colorimeter of the PCE-CSM series are applied especially in industries
where the characteristics of colors play a big role.
Whether it is dental technology, painting industries or for the
production of plastic bags, the color meter PCE-CSM 2 is an ideal
product for quality management and thus assures highest reliability,
whenever it is important to assure a certain standard in optic quality.
The colorimeter supports an ergonomic design and features a
user-friendly menu navigation. It has a measuring aperture of 8 mm. The
supported color spaces are CIEL*a*b*C*h, CIEL a*b*, and CIEXYZ.
This
colorimeter is great for professional industries. Another advantage is
that it supports a vertical justification. This means that the whole
device does not need to be placed on the object to analyze it, but only
the part with the sensor in it. The industrial perspective of it is that
this method allows the measuring of damp objects, textiles and even
food. The device is ideally suited for measurements of meat, bananas or
tomatoes. Due to the software "CQCS3" that is included in the delivery,
the measured data can be read out on a computer or laptop for a digital
overview.
The L*a*b color space: You can see the color space
L*a*b. This color space covers all colors that are visible with the
naked eye. L=100 stands for white and L=0 for black. "a+" and "a-" or
"b+" and "b-" stands for the color contrasts red, green, yellow and
blue.
The menu of the Colorimeter contains all characteristics
and settings that can be performed. There are basic settings like time,
language, date, but also settings about the recording and the color
spaces that shall be displayed by the device.
