Multi Angle Spectrophotometer LMASP-B10

Labtron’s Multi Angle Spectrophotometer captures color variations from different viewing angles, providing a comprehensive assessment of a material's appearance. This is particularly important for coatings with metallic or pearlescent pigments, where color can shift based on the angle of observation. By analyzing these variations, manufacturers can ensure that products meet consistent quality standards. It allows for the detection of subtle defects or inconsistencies that might not be visible under standard lighting conditions. Implementing multi-angle measurements in quality control processes helps in maintaining uniformity across production batches. This leads to reduced rework and waste, optimizing production efficiency. Ultimately, it enhances customer satisfaction by delivering products with consistent and accurate color appearances.

Yes, although measuring curved or textured surfaces requires additional care. Multi-angle spectrophotometers are typically designed for flat, uniform samples, but with proper sample holders, alignment tools, or robotic positioning systems, measurements on complex geometries can be reliably performed. For curved surfaces like automotive parts, special jigs or fixtures ensure the sensor maintains the correct orientation. Textured surfaces can scatter light irregularly, so it’s important to use repeatable methods and potentially average multiple readings. Some advanced models also include laser targeting or vision-assisted alignment to enhance accuracy on challenging surfaces.

Labtron’s Multi Angle Spectrophotometer improves quality control by offering detailed color analysis from different viewing angles. This helps identify color inconsistencies that might not be visible from a single perspective, especially with complex coatings or effect pigments. By capturing data from multiple angles, it ensures that products meet color specifications and appear consistent across different production batches. It aids in comparing samples, reducing color deviations, and preventing costly errors in mass production. This technology supports quick identification of color mismatches, reducing time spent on rework. It also ensures that products maintain their intended visual appeal across all manufacturing stages. In industries like automotive and cosmetics, it guarantees high visual quality.

Labtron’s Multi Angle spectrophotometer enhances the color formulation process by providing a comprehensive view of how a material’s color changes under different angles. This data helps formulators create products with precise color properties, especially for materials with effect pigments that shift in appearance based on viewing angles. The spectrophotometer allows formulators to fine-tune their color mixes to achieve the desired visual effects and consistency across different production runs. By measuring the material at multiple angles, it provides critical information that improves color accuracy and reduces the trial-and-error process. This results in a faster, more efficient formulation cycle. For industries like automotive and coatings, the device ensures that colors are accurate, durable, and stable throughout the product's lifespan. It also supports the development of custom colors for specific applications

Labtron’s Multi Angle Spectrophotometer are integrated with advanced features. Some instruments can detect when a surface is too rough for accurate measurement and suggest alternate methods. Rotating or tilting the sample can reveal the most consistent angular reflectance points. Specialized optics and spatial filters help isolate usable signals from noise. High-resolution measurement heads capture more localized color data, which can be averaged or mapped. In some cases, multi-point scanning is used to cover an entire surface profile. Advanced systems may offer 3D topography correlation to adjust for surface geometry. These approaches are essential in industries like textured plastics, leather, and embossed films.
