BYK-Gardner - worldwide partner of the automotive, paint and plastic industries for quality control of colour, appearance and physical properties - is introducing the new spectro2guide, the revolution in colour measurement.
Like its predecessor, the new spectro2guide combines colour and gloss measurement in one instrument. Completely new, is the measurement of fluorescence to predict colour stability. Like a fluorimeter the fluorescent light can be detected using monochromatic illumination and for the first time ever an ΔEzero can be calculated to predict how the colour will change when fluorescence has degraded. This combination of a spectrophotometer with a fluorimeter opens up completely new perspectives to not only control colour harmony, but also to analyse the colour stability with measurement of fluorescence.
Beside the combination of innovative measurement methods, the spectro2guide uses innovative, high performance LED technology as light sources. Due to the outstanding performance of these LEDs, the short-term, long-term and temperature stability as well as a homogeneous illumination spot are unsurpassed in the industry. As a result, a superior accuracy and excellent inter-instrument agreement allow the use of digital standards.
This new high technology is complimented by its easy-to-use operation and handling. Because of its balanced and upfront design, the 3.5" colour touchscreen is always in the right position and easy-to-read. A perfect premise for the icon-based menu, which allows an intuitive smart phone like operation and the integrated camera that shows a live preview of the measurement area to ensure precise positioning and to prevent false readings on imperfections or scratches. As the first spectrophotometer on the market, the spectro2guide offers auto diagnosis and an automatic calibration function. Thereby, the white calibration standard is always protected and a reliable calibration is guaranteed. In addition, data transfer has never been easier or more flexible. The spectro2guide offers three possibilities: via docking station or directly connected with USB cable or wireless with a Wi-Fi function.
Raise your expectations and get ready for the future!
