KS006 Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer

The KS006 is a portable multi-angle spectrophotometer specifically designed for precise measurement of special-effect colors such as metallic and pearlescent finishes. It evaluates surfaces using six spectral angles for repeatable and reproducible quality control of sparkle, color sparkle, graininess, and color difference.

Its six-angle simultaneous measurement system uses 8 light sources and 1 receiver to capture flop characteristics. It measures each angle in approximately one second and all six angles in approximately six seconds. It supports flat and curved workpieces, solid colors, metallic finishes, pearlescent effects, and complex coatings.

The instrument uses a blue-enhanced full-spectrum LED light source with a service life of up to 10 years or 5 million measurements, a high-precision concave grating, and a 256-pixel dual-array CMOS image sensor. The wavelength range is 400–700 nm, with 10 nm interval and 10 nm bandwidth; the measurement range is 0–600%. Standard measurement aperture is illumination Φ23 mm with 9 × 12 mm sampling, with optional Φ10 mm illumination and 6 × 8 mm sampling.

KS006 supports CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, βxy, DIN Lab99, RGB and Hunter Lab, plus ΔE*ab, ΔE*94, ΔE*cmc (2:1), ΔE*cmc (1:1), ΔE*00, DINΔE99, DIN6175, automotive formulas, ΔE(Hunter), ΔE*ch and ΔE*uv. It analyzes Flop Index, metamerism, sparkle, color sparkle and graininess.

It provides more than 20 standard illuminants, including D65, A, C, D50, D55, D75, fluorescent F series and LED series. The interface supports Simplified Chinese, English, Traditional Chinese and Russian. Measurement modes include single, average (1–99 measurements) and continuous (1–99 measurements). A 5000 mAh battery supports up to 5000 continuous tests.

The 3.5-inch TFT true-color capacitive touchscreen displays multi-angle results, spectral graphs, colorimetric values, color differences, pass/fail judgments and color simulations. Storage holds 1000 standard samples and 10,000 test samples, with USB and Bluetooth transmission. Dimensions are 195 × 83 × 128 mm and weight is approximately 1 kg. Operating temperature is 10–50 °C; storage temperature is −20–50 °C. Standard accessories include power adapter, data cable, calibration box, black trap, protective cover and wrist strap. Optional accessory: micro printer.
