MA-T12 Multi-Angle Handheld Spectrophotometer
The MA-T12’s twelve angles of measurement and color imaging enable the most complete characterization of today’s extreme effect materials.
MA-T12 delivers the industry’s most repeatable and reproducible measurement of color, sparkle, and coarseness. It defines and evaluates effect finishes against rigorous standards with greater ease of use than ever before.
Featuring an RGB color camera coupled with 12 angles of measurement, the MA-T12 is the unrivaled choice for establishing the strictest color standards, and ensuring consistent achievement of these specifications. A new ergonomic design features a centrally located aperture and positioning pins to ensure stable measurement. Modern touch screen navigation and live camera measurement previews make the MA-T12 simple and intuitive to use.
EFX QC, a software package included with the MA-T12, is a cloud-based solution that simplifies the process of defining, communicating, and ensuring conformance with standards and measurement procedures for color, sparkle, and coarseness across distributed supply chains. EFX QC’s new visual tools, including performance trend charts and stored images of specific measurements, enable real-time performance monitoring and provide actionable insights that speed up the process of troubleshooting out-of-tolerance product.Benefits:
