The Spectrophotometer CM-36dGV is a vertical format spectrophotometer that offers simultaneous color and gloss measurements. It also comes with a UV adjustment function and is ideal for a wide range of applications such as pulp, paper, textiles, chemicals, etc.

Spectrophotometer CM-36dGV

The Spectrophotometer CM-36dGV, successor to the Spectrophotometer CM-3610A, is a high-precision and high-reliability benchtop color measuring instrument with advanced functions catering to today’s measurement needs.

The CM-36dGV can measure color in either reflectance or transmittance. Equipped with a 60° gloss sensor (ISO 2813 compliant), it enables simultaneous color and gloss measurement that improves work efficiency.

It comes with the patented Numerical UV Control (NUVC) that offers accurate and simple UV adjustments when measuring samples that contain optical brighteners (OBA) such as pulp, paper, and textiles.

The CM-36dGV offers a tight inter-instrument agreement (IIA) of ΔE*ab< 0.12 ΔE*ab< 0.12 and repeatability of σ∆E*ab < 0.02, assuring the measurement and its data are communicated within the supply chain, from suppliers to finished product maker, consistently.

This innovative benchtop spectrophotometer meter is design with enhanced useability. Its vertical orientation allows easy handling of samples such as cloth and paper. With the sample viewing function that uses an integrated camera, the CM-36dGV enables accurate and easy positioning sample.

The CM-36dGV has an easy-to-read status panel with the measuring button. It can display the measurement status and condition settings to minimize operator error and improve work efficiency. It also has four different aperture sizes (Ø 4.0 mm, 8.0 mm, 16.0 mm, and 25.4 mm) to cater to different measurement needs.

Come with the innovative WAA (Wavelength Analysis & Adjustment) function (optional )that analyzes and adjusts any wavelength shift during each calibration, the CM-36dGV can assure the instrument, and its measurement, remain accurate and reliable over time.
