Closed loop color control at the production machine
Monitoring color throughout production can catch errors early, resulting in less waste and a higher quality product. When combined with an X-Rite inline spectrophotometer, ESWin Closed Loop Color Control software monitors color quality and automatically corrects deviations to the target to ensure color remains in tolerance. It automatically controls up to 3 dyes plus optical brightening agents.
Automatically Controls the Color at the Production Machine
ESWin CLCC software controls the inline device to take color measurements on the production line and returns results in easy-to-interpret graphic displays and printed reports. If color starts to shift, ESWin CLCC makes changes automatically. It uses a special calculation algorithm to control and add colorants at the beginning of the process to minimize deviations from the target color. It also enables automatic closed loop color control on the machine for cost-efficient production.
Enables Operators to Make Quick, Educated Changes
Displays color measurement data in an easy-to-understand trending format and adjusts color deviations to correct current or emerging problems. The software can be remotely controlled from a DCS to start a new production and send the current color values to the DCS. This connection can be through OPC, a communication database, or ASCII files. Even 4-20 mA signals can be used for the data output.
Connects with X-Rite Inline Spectrophotometers to Control Color in Many Production Environments
ESWin works with X-Rite inline spectrophtometers to manage color in many industries, including paper, textiles, and plastics.
Displays up to 6 Trends Per Machine and Plot Color in the CIELAB System
Can include ∆L*, ∆a*, ∆b*, ∆WCIE UV incl. ∆WISO UV excl., ∆Opacity plus RGB color, reflectance curve and pump volums for standard and measurement
Builds Multiple Profiles to Define Measurement Tasks
Define measurement parameters like type of instrument, number of averages, measure with or without UV, how to display measurement values, etc.
