Chroma Meter CR-410
The Konica Minolta Chroma Meter CR-410, which succeeds the CR-310, is a versatile colorimeter expertly designed to provide precise color measurement on a wide range of products and surfaces across diverse applications. This lightweight, handheld color measurement instrument, boasting a ⌀50mm measurement aperture, can accurately measure the color of samples with texture, uneven surface conditions, or significant color variation, offering the ideal solution for color inspections across sectors, including food, building materials, and textiles.
The Chroma Meter CR-410 is a highly effective tool for color quantification and color difference determination. Its advanced features include a pass/fail assessment, enabling immediate comparison of samples to predefined standards or targets. Moreover, this colorimeter allows users to tailor color evaluation and calculation formulas to their specific industry needs, making it a versatile and essential tool for those seeking precision in color analysis.
With storage for up to 1,000 measurements internally, expandable to 2,000 with an optional data processor, the Chroma Meter CR-410 offers convenience. Its user-friendly interface and large LCD screen make data and graph display seamless.
This Chroma Meter CR-410 comes with an extensive range of supporting optional accessories, accommodating a variety of samples, such as powders, opaque liquids, or pastes. For in-depth color analysis and quality control, optional software like the SpectraMagic™ NX2/SpectraMagic™ NX is available to enhance the capabilities of the Chroma Meter CR-410.
