Overview:

When purchasing new products ranging from automobiles to consumer electronics and household appliances, color is a decisive factor in the buying decision. In today's fiercely competitive market, manufacturers increasingly use special effect surfaces to differentiate themselves from competitors. Therefore, merely measuring color is no longer sufficient to fully characterize these materials or ensure consistency between adjacent components (such as car bumpers and body panels) in a distributed supply chain. The new MA-T6, combined with AutoQC software, provides the perfect solution for fast and accurate evaluation and verification of characteristics like color, sparkle, and coarseness on special surfaces.

Key Advantages:

The MA-T6 is one of the most advanced multi-angle spectrophotometers currently available. Its RGB color camera utilizes six measurement angles, making this instrument the premier choice for determining the most stringent color standards. The new ergonomic design includes a centrally positioned aperture and locating pins to ensure stable measurements. The MA-T6 interface offers modern touchscreen navigation and real-time camera preview measurements, making it easy to learn and use.
The MA-T6 includes AutoQC software, a cloud-based solution that simplifies the process of defining and communicating color, sparkle, and coarseness, while ensuring standard compliance and measurement procedures across a distributed supply chain. AutoQC includes new visual tools such as performance trend charts and stored specific measurement images, enabling real-time performance monitoring and providing actionable guidance to expedite the correction of out-of-tolerance products.

Highlights:

● Repeatability and reproducibility performance for accurate readings of color, sparkle, and coarseness is more than twice that of other devices on the market, minimizing waste and rework throughout the production process.
● Characterizes material surfaces across six measurement angles for various applications, from automotive coatings to plastics and cosmetics.
● Results you expect—measurements closer to how the human eye perceives color—streamline the approval process.
● An intuitive interface reduces the learning curve and improves measurement efficiency.
● Automatic internal calibration reduces the risk of inaccurate measurements due to insufficient device standards, reducing the need for external calibration to once per month.
● Backward compatibility with X-Rite MA68, MA94, MA96, and MA98 ensures a smooth transition without loss of legacy data.
● Establish and digitally communicate global tolerances and measurement procedures for color, sparkle, and coarseness across the supply chain, enhancing continuous consistency.
● Real-time monitoring of color harmony across the supply chain enables quick adjustments to improve operational efficiency.
● New visual tools facilitate rapid analysis and resolution of non-compliant products.
