Chroma Meters CR-400 More Versatile & Powerful

Highly accurate, multi-functional, and user-friendly, Konica Minolta's new Chroma Meters CR-400 and CR-410 provide support for measurement using just the measuring head.

More powerful and more versatile than ever from the famous Chroma-Meter series.

The Chroma Meters CR-400 supersedes the internationally recognized and acclaimed series CR-100, CR-200 and CR-300. It offers a huge number of added value features and improved versatility, while fully maintaining all optical properties and therefore, guaranties full data compatibility with the previous series. The CR-400, with its 8mm measuring area is suitable for measuring reflected color and color difference in a wide range of industrial fields. It is able to meet the needs of various applications, from all sorts of ingredients, foods, raw materials and finished products to pharmaceuticals and dermatological applications - the CR-400 handles all!

If your samples are structured or uneven in surface, such as granulates, fabrics, wood, stones, bricks, then the CR-410 is the right choice. Its unique very large aperture of 50 mm is perfectly suited for such samples and thus avoids averaging of several measurements.

The main improvements focus on enhanced usability and functionality such as the re-designed Data Processor, featuring a large back light display for numerical or graphic display of measurement data and a built-in thermal high speed printer. The data memory now can store up to 100 target colors and 1,000 measurements. Several new color spaces and Pass/Fail formulas as well as indices for whiteness and yellowness enhance the usage into various fields of applications. The new "user indices" function allows the input of up to six different user or application specific equations using XYZ, Yxy or CIELAB values. Furthermore, the communication languages can be set for English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Japanese.

For even more user flexibility the measuring head, equipped with Display, function keys and power supply, can now be used as "stand alone" without the Data Processor or as an additional option even directly be interfaced to the PC to run with the optional Windows® QC software SpectraMagic NX.

With all these features, the unsurpassed ease of use and the legendary raggedness, the fourth generation of Chroma Meters is bound to continue its success throughout the world of modern color control.
