CC200 Portable Colorimeter — 8/d, Ø8 mm, PC software
The CC200 portable colorimeter (COLO product code PRO7974) measures colour and colour difference with 8/d geometry and an Ø8 mm aperture. CIE Lab, LCh and XYZ under illuminant D65, 20 000 sample records and PC software make it the standard model of the CC series for routine colour control.
Which model?
Overview
Measure the standard once, then every sample shows the colour values, ΔE, pass/fail and the direction of the colour offset. A colorimeter measures colour as three values under one illuminant — the simple and economical tool for colour difference control.
Key characteristics
- 8/d geometry, silicon photodiode detector
- Measuring aperture Ø8 mm, illumination positioning
- CIE Lab, LCh, XYZ; ΔE*ab, ΔL*a*b*, ΔE*C*h*; D65, 10° observer
- Repeatability ΔE*ab 0.08
- 100 standards and 20 000 samples, USB and PC software
- Li-ion battery 3 200 mAh, more than 3 000 measurements per charge
Suitable for
- Plastic parts and plaques, paints and coatings
- Printed matter, packaging, textiles and leather
- Colour difference control with ΔE pass/fail in production and at goods receipt
Why this instrument
When the task is to keep a product within a colour tolerance — plastics, paints, printed matter, textiles — a colorimeter is the simple and affordable tool: measure the master once, then each sample shows ΔE and pass/fail. Illumination positioning shows where the instrument measures.
