The Most Advanced Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer
Using the on-board color calibrated RGB camera for imaging, the MA-T12 can quickly and accurately evaluate and verify the color, sparkle, and coarseness characteristics of extreme effect finishes with the highest level of repeatability and reproducibility. When paired with EFX QC software, this instrument is the preferred choice for establishing the strictest color standards.
Quickly Resolve Non-Compliant Products
The MA-T12 offers modern touch screen navigation, live camera measurement previews, and on-screen pass-fail indication to quickly and easily analyze non-compliant products. The MA-T12 offers a centrally located aperture with positioning pins to ensure measurement stability on samples and automatic internal calibration to reduce the risk of inaccurate measurements.
Improve Conformance
Set and digitally communicate global tolerances for extreme effect finishes within complex supply chains.
Measurement Area Verification
Minimizes risk of measuring sample defects with live preview
Characterize Extreme Effect Materials
Appropriate for a variety of industries, including automotive, paints, plastics, and cosmetics.
