Color measurement for small parts
color-guide 4mm

 

color-guide.gif (19997 bytes)Objective evaluation of color is an essential component in today’s Quality Control systems. Colored products often consist of parts from different plants or manufacturers, and are supposed to color match. This is also true for every small and curved part.

The most important step is to ensure that the measured surface area completely covers the opening of the color meter. This eliminates incorrect measurement values from the influence of surrounding light.

The color-guide with 4mm aperture assists you with easy and secure color control of small parts like – portable phones, PC-keyboards, and door and window handles.
