During the manufacturing of many products, color is an important quality parameter. For consumers worldwide, consistent color is a criterion for quality. If a constant and reproducible color quality is achieved during production, this leads to a reduction in rejects, fewer complaints and fewer returns. The non-contact, precise and repeatable online color measurement of the SpectraTrend HT offers you the following advantages for your ongoing production process:
The SpectraTrend® HT measures samples contactlessly, on or above the conveyor belt or on or above the sample itself. HunterLab's powerful spectrophotometer is versatile. The appropriate colorWorkbench software supports your color management to easily manage and evaluate measurement results.
Real-time measurement often eliminates the need for time-consuming analysis of samples in the laboratory; based on the data, production can be intervened immediately and corrections made.
This means for you:
However, if the laboratory and production work closely together in a production facility, with the multiView software we offer, in addition to remote control of the online colorWorkbench software, the possibility of linking the control center, laboratory and production lines and enabling simultaneous access to several locations.
The SpectraTrend HT (STHT), integrated in a NEMA 4/IP66 protective housing, is mounted at a distance of 65mm to 140mm above the product.
The sensor monitors the product for color and height fluctuations with up to 5 measurements per second. The results are shown on the display at an interval of 1 second and at the same time forwarded to connected PCs via the network connection.
Optionally, there is visualization via warning lights and the color deviations are output to an analog output. The SpectraTrend HT (STHT) does not require direct contact with the product and is therefore ideal for different product thicknesses.
