Spectrophotometer CM-36dG color and gloss measurement

Another Yet Powerful Benchtop Spectrophotometer With State Of the Art Design

The CM-36dG is a high-precision spectrophotometer developed by Konica Minolta. It is commonly used in color management applications such as color matching, quality control, and product development.

Konica Minolta CM-36dG spectrophotometer is a successor to CM-3600A. It is built with horizontal alignment and has the same performance to its successor with higher precision. CM-36dG design is more compact, lighter in weight and with outstanding performance. It also comes with a UV adjustment function and is ideal for a wide range of applications such as pulp, paper, textiles, chemicals, etc.

Spectrophotometer CM-36dG is a highly accurate and repeatable benchtop color measurement instrument that comes with advanced functions for today’s measurement needs. CM-36dG is an advanced model offers both color and gloss result in a single measurement. 

The CM-36dG features a spectral range of 360 to 740 nm and a spectral interval of 10 nm. It is capable of measuring both reflectance and transmittance of various types of samples including textiles, plastics, coatings, and liquids. The instrument has a high level of inter-instrument agreement, which means that different CM-36dG spectrophotometers will provide consistent color measurements.

In addition, the CM-36dG is equipped with new features to enhance usability. It features an easy-to-read status panel (Fig. 1.0) , with the measuring button located on it, that displays the measurement status and condition settings to minimize operator error and improve work efficiency.

The sample viewing function (Fig. 2.0), utilizing an integrated camera, is also available to ensure accurate and easy positioning of the measurement sample.

The CM-36dG can measure color in either reflectance or transmittance mode. With a large and open-sided transmission chamber (Fig. 3.0), the CM-36dG can easily measure transparent or translucent samples of any sizes.

With a flat-back design, the orientation of CM-36dG can be repositioned to take measurements vertically (top-port concept) as shown in Fig. 4.0.

The CM-36dG offers high stability and reliability with its optional WAA*² (Wavelength Analysis & Adjustment) function. This innovative function analyzes and adjusts any wavelength shift during each calibration, ensuring the instrument and its measurement remain stable and reliable over time. Measurement operation usability has also been greatly improved over the previous models which will lead to increase operator productivity.

The CM-36dG also comes with four different aperture sizes (Ø 4.0 mm, 8.0 mm, 16.0 mm, and 25.4 mm), offering versatility to different measurement needs.

The instrument is controlled through software, which allows for easy measurement and analysis of color data. Contact us for a demonstration
