Multi-angle color & effect measurement: anodized parts
Article No. 7049
BYK-mac i Pro
Multi-angle spectrophotometer with Sparkle index ANO
- Measuring area: 23 mm diameter
- 6-angle color measurement
- Graininess measurement with CCD camera
- Modified image analyzing algorithm to measure Sparkle index ANO
- Professional data documentation and analysis with Flake Analyzer and smart-chart software
Features
The surface finish of anodized products is influenced by its sandblasting and anodizing process. BYK-mac i Pro objectively evaluates process variations with multi-angle color, graininess and sparkle measurement.
- Total color impression of anodized surfaces:
- Multi-angle color to determine lightness and color flop: -15° / 15° / 25° / 45° / 75° / 110°
- Graininess to characterize very fine textures
- Sparkle index ANO to describe sparkling behavior
- Detection and quantification of fluorescent light excited in the visible range (Intensity Emission)
- Excellent agreement between instruments allows use of digital standards among the supply chain
- Stable, long-term calibration – needed only every three months
- Temperature independent results (10 – 40° C) – without calibration
- Stable positioning due to 4 trigger pins on bottom plate – operator influence minimized
- 10 year warranty on LED light source – no lamp changes needed
