Lovibond® Non-Contact Portable Spectrophotometer |

Shown with optional non-contact table |
The Lovibond® NC45 Non Contact 45/0º geometry benchtop spectrophotometer is designed for the color measurement of many types of wet and dry samples including powders, pastes, gels, plastics
and paints. The versatile form factor also simplifies
measurements on two and three dimensional objects.
The NC45 utilizes LED illumination, ensuring
efficient robust functionality.
The Lovibond® NC45 is a solution for
many of the measurement problems that
have remained unsolved. Products that
normally require protection from physical
contact such as liquids and pastes, or in
which the surface appearance is changed
by the presentation method, such as when
the sample is pressed behind glass, can
now be measured in their natural, unaltered
state, as the eye sees the sample. |

Features
|
 |
- Non-contact color measurement allows sample measurements from a distance, eliminating surface distortion caused by contact based measurement methods
- Full system LED illumination provides years of reliable performance
- LED illumination is unaffected by ambient light conditions
- Line of SightTM visibility to the sample enables technicians to quickly and easily position the sample for measurement
- Active Visual TargetingTM projects a prominent illuminated target ring onto the sample for precise and accurate measurements
- Dual measurement spot sizes, 6 mm (1/4”) and 12 mm (1/2”) which can quickly and easily be switched without the need to recalibrate
- Integrated gloss sensor provides 60º correlated gloss values
- Versatile design improves measurement capabilities on two and three dimensional objects
- Flexible Quality Control software allows user customization (provided separately)

NC45 Spectrophotometer Stand
|
 |
 |
The NC45 mounting stand allows easy, accurate height adjustment
of the Lovibond® NC45, accommodating measurements
on samples of varying heights and shapes. The measurement
distance is accurately set by inserting the hex driver into the slot in
the base. When inserted, the hex driver casts a shadow onto the
sample that, when the NC45 is adjusted to the correct measurement
distance, precisely bisects the center of the NC45 illuminated
target ring. This eliminates guesswork and ensures accurate and
repeatable measurement results on virtually any sample including
wet gels and powders and other difficult to measure products. |
- Incremental adjustment of 0.064” per revolution
- Accommodates samples up to 8 1/8” (20.6cm) high
- Accommodates right and left handed uses
- Engraved cross hairs on sample base for repeatable sample positioning
- Rugged Anodized base and cradle
