The spectro-guide makes quality control simple and secure - even for color beginners. Thanks to the intuitive pull-down menu and the four cursor button operation quality control has never been easier.

• Light weight and small size - weighs only 500 g
• Ergonomic design - can easily measure difficult to access areas
• Designated buttons for standard and sample readings
• Customization of the display to your needs

A white coated hemisphere acts as a mixing chamber and guarantees completely uniform illumination. Thus, any influence of measurement direction is eliminated and excellent repeatability even on highly textured surfaces is guaranteed.

Additionally, a patented illumination control provides temperature independent results - also in extreme conditions.

Economical and reliable operation of a color instrument is often taken as given. Spectro-guide guarantees superior accuracy for many years and low maintenance efforts.

• Long lasting standard AA batteries - up to 8,000 readings per set
• 10 year warranty on the light source - no lamp changes needed
• Rugged and compact design
• Stable, long-term calibration - needed only every three months

ISO 9000 requires documentation of color data. Easy-link, included with the spectro-guide, offers all of the necessary tools:

• Easy and direct data transfer from the instrument to Excel®
• Predefined QC-report templates (Lab-plot, trend graphs, etc.) are included
• All relevant quality data can be easily summarized in one report: Color - Gloss - Film Thickness
• Easy management of your standards

Back-up your standard data
For safety reason, it is recommended to store your complete data base of standards on the PC. They can be downloaded with the individual tolerances to spectro-guide - whenever needed.

Establish your tolerances
Use the auto tolerancing feature to easily set up your production window. Measure at least 20 visually accepted production trials, transfer the readings to Excel® and have the tolerances automatically calculated for you - saving time and headaches.

• Color and 60° gloss in one unit
• Stable, long-term calibration
• Highly repeatable results, even on textured surfaces independent of measuring direction
• Long lasting AA batteries

• 10 year warranty on the light source
• Easy to use, even for color beginners
• easy-link for direct transfer to Excel®
• 10 nm resolution for precise readings on brilliant and dark colors

For advanced color analysis, the spectro-guide family can also be interfaced to the universal Windows® based color control software auto-QC:

• User definable screen layouts and print-outs
• Easy creation of macros to simplify routine procedures
• Manual and automatic tolerance setting
• Powerful, built-in Access® database for any search routine
• Exports data to common Windows® spreadsheet programs

As the spectro-guide also performs a gloss reading, it is additionally recommended to periodically use a medium gloss checking standard to control the gloss readings.
