Konica Minolta CM-36d Spectrophotometer device is a high-precision and high-reliability desktop device that is suitable for measuring all kinds of textile materials and can measure color on the basis of reflectance or transmittance.

Konica Minolta Sensing has integrated an ISO 2813 compliant 60° gloss sensor inside a benchtop spectrophotometer for the first time to measure Color and Luminance simultaneously. Since both values are measured and reported together, operator errors are reduced, Quality Control workflow can be facilitated, and equipment and maintenance costs can be reduced.

The CM-36dG uses patented and proven Numerical UV Control (NUVC), a unique technology for UV adjustments when measuring samples containing optical brighteners such as pulp, paper, textiles or chemicals.

Various new features have been added to improve user experience. Status LEDs provide clear visual feedback, a camera preview system for sample positioning and reporting, and versatile sample positioning that allows the device to be rotated 90° or used horizontally, for example to measure powdered materials.

Konica Minolta's patented technologies guarantee the highest levels of accuracy and repeatability for this class of devices. Konica Minolta's renowned accuracy and stability are supported by our latest innovation, "Wavelength Analysis and Adjustment" (WAA), giving customers the ability to control and adjust the CM-36dG during calibration, ensuring the device is in tip-top shape.

Features

Help with sample alignmentum

Four screw threads and linear guides on the front plate allow the operator to create custom jigs to position samples accurately. This maximizes the repeatability and speed of the measurement process.

Camera previewer for accurate sample positioning

Integrated camera viewer for precise aimingProvides a clear preview of the area and checks the area to be measured. The software can capture images of the measured area to provide detailed reporting.

Reflectance and Transmittance measurements, horizontal or top port

The CM-36dG can measure solid or liquid samples horizontally or upside down in reflection or transmission mode. This offers great flexibility for a variety of samples, from opaque to translucent and transparent.

The large, open-sided permeation chamber can be used to measure transparent or translucent samples of any size with ease. The permeation chamber lid has a lift-twist lock to prevent accidental opening of the device and locks the chamber when used upside down, for example to measure powdered materials in round cuvettes.

Numerical UV Control for Accurate Measurements of Fluorescent Materials

Accurate measurement of materials such as paper or fabric treated with optical brighteners (OBA) requires precise control of the UV component. The patented Numerical UV Control method (familiar to customers using the CM-3600A) provides UV control using special calculations to combine the results from the flashes of two xenon lamps. This method eliminates the need for lengthy filter position adjustments and enables UV adjustment by Whiteness Index, Hue, Brightness or UV profile.

Easy-to-read LED display panel with measurement button

LED display panel shows all current measurement settings on the same panel.
Additionally, the measurement button on the panel allows remote measurement of samples.

Measurement Areas to suit your samples

The CM-36dG offers four different apertures with Ø 4.0, 8.0, 16.0 and 25.4 mm to provide a suitable measurement size for any sample.

"Wavelength Analysis and Tuning" - (WAA)

"Analyze - Adjust - Activate" - Konica Minolta's patented technology checks and adjusts for possible wavelength drift during each device calibration. This procedure provides unmatched long-term measurement stability and can keep measurements constant even for changes in temperature or ambient conditions over time.

WAA enables the operator to easily distinguish whether measurement variations are caused by the device itself, reducing troubleshooting time and providing improved accuracy in supply chains.
