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.

• 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)

• 2 customizable report screens to display color data and indices.
  
• Complete elliptical tolerancing capability including CMC & CIE 2000 tolerancing and the advanced ‘best fit’ technique which statistically calculates tolerances based on batch history data.
  
• Navigation aids – keyboard shortcuts, tool tips, right-click shortcut menus.
  
• ‘Send mail’ function allows you to communicate your color data worldwide directly from the program.
  
• ‘Spreadsheet’ option stores your choice of color data in spreadsheet format for further processing, reporting and calculation.
  
• Munsell notations and over 50 indices including whiteness, yellowness, correlated haze, chromatic strength at maximum absorption.
  
• Twenty fields for job identification, in addition to auto-naming and a notes field for each trial.
  
• Select trials to be included on reports and displays.
  
• Interfaces with most spectrophotometers from many different manufacturers.
  
• Compatible with, and easy to upgrade to OnColorTM Premium or OnColorTM Match color formulation software.
  
• Sort trials according to any criteria.
