Product YL3160 Non-Contact Spectrophotometer Features

Unique Measurement Method

Non - contact measurement: There is no need to directly contact the sample. This not only avoids damage to the sample but also prevents the instrument from being contaminated by the sample. It is especially suitable for samples that are corrosive, liquid, dusty, etc., which are likely to damage the instrument, as well as soft, easily deformable or uneven-surfaced samples.

Applicable to various samples: It can precisely measure the color of samples in different forms such as liquids, pastes, and powders, meeting the needs of multiple industries including cosmetics, fruits and vegetables, food hygiene, plastic electronics, paint and ink, printing, ceramics, etc.

Avoid cross - contamination: When measuring multiple samples, cross - contamination between samples will not occur due to contact, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of measurement results. This is particularly suitable for industries with high hygiene requirements, such as food, medicine, and cosmetics.

Diverse Connectivity Options

Convenient data transmission: Equipped with various digital interfaces such as USB, RS485, RS232, and Ethernet, it can be easily connected to external devices such as computers, printers, and PLCs to achieve rapid data transmission and sharing. This facilitates data processing, analysis, and storage, and also makes it easy to integrate into automated production systems.

External trigger function: It supports external triggering and can work synchronously with other devices. For example, it can cooperate with sensors or controllers on the production line to achieve automatic measurement and data collection, improving the degree of measurement automation and accuracy.

Analog signal output: It can output analog signals and be connected to other analog devices or control systems to achieve real - time monitoring and adjustment of color parameters, which is applicable to some technological processes that require precise color control.

Wide Environmental Adaptability

Flexible measurement: There is no limit to the sample thickness. Only using the test probe makes it more flexible and convenient when measuring samples of different sizes and shapes. There is no need to worry about the impact of sample size and thickness on the measurement results, and it can adapt to various complex sample measurement requirements.

High protection level: With an IP66 protection level, it is waterproof and dust - proof, and can withstand complex industrial environments.

Outstanding Measurement Performance

High - precision measurement: Adopting advanced optical technologies such as concave grating spectroscopy technology, 256 - pixel dual - array CMOS image sensors, and full - spectrum LED light sources ensures high optical resolution and accurate spectral acquisition, thus achieving stable and high - precision measurement, accurately measuring the reflectance of objects and various chromaticity indicators.

Fast measurement: The measurement speed is fast. A complete measurement cycle only takes 50 milliseconds at the fastest (100 milliseconds normally), and it can measure more than 1 million samples per day, meeting the requirements of rapid detection in automated production lines and improving production efficiency.

YL3160 Widely Applications

The YL3160 Non-Contact Spectrophotometer, with its technical advantages of high precision, non-destructive measurement, and industrial compatibility, is widely applied across multiple industries including coatings & industrial materials, textile printing & dyeing, automotive interior manufacturing, cosmetics, food industry, cultural relic preservation & special materials, as well as electronics & plastic products.

Colorimeters or spectrophotometers are used to measure liquid color. They measure light coming through or reflecting off the liquid. Readings can be reported as Lab*, RGB, or absorbance units. So that objective color analysis can be used to control quality, or to measure chemical concentration.

A spectrophotometer and colorimeter are certain instruments used by scientists to measure color by quantifying reflected or transmitted light. The results are presented in color spaces, such as L*a*b*, RGB, or XYZ. This enables the accuracy of comparison and tracking of the changes in color in chemical or material research.

To answer this question, you first need to clarify your specific needs:

Is it for simple color quality control (QC)?
To coordinate with supply chain color management?
To monitor on-line color stability?
Do you require computer color matching or production color correction?
What is your budget?
Systematic supervision and evaluation of color performance in dyed products?

If you aren’t fully clear about your requirements at the initial stage, our color management engineers are ready to communicate with you. We will recommend solutions tailored to your needs.
