Durable and rugged ‘industrial proof’ system designed for
easy integration with process control systems in closed-loop
applications using latest I/O and communication protocols.

Reflectance or Transmittance Mode

Measurement data is displayed on a color LCD touch
screen in both graphical and numerical format for easy
process tracking and control. Audible and visual alarms
indicate Pass/Marginal/Fail status of the product.

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
Repeatability (30 reads) tt

In reflectance mode sensors, fiber optics are positioned on
the same side of the production line. In transmittance mode,
the measurement sensor is positioned above the production
line and the fiber optic cable under it.

The NC-1 in-line non-contact system can capture
product color without waiting to get a physical sample
and measures the color with a laboratory instrument. A
final QC evaluation is important; but having color data
for the entire run is invaluable.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

For correct use and for your safety, be sure to read
the instruction manual before using the instrument.

Always connect the instrument to the specified
power supply voltage. Improper connection may
cause a fire or electric shock.
