Description
The Non-contact Benchtop Spectrophotometer YG0910 is a cutting-edge instrument designed for precise, non-contact color measurement of liquids, sauces, powders, and delicate materials. Utilizing a 45/0 optical geometry (45° ring-shaped illumination with vertical viewing), this spectrophotometer ensures highly accurate reflectance and chromaticity readings without the risk of contamination or damage to the sample. Developed by Kalstein, the YG0910 is ideal for laboratory analysis, R&D applications, and industrial quality control, offering stable, high-precision measurements even in automated production lines.
Equipped with a 7-inch TFT capacitive touch screen, the YG0910 features an intuitive interface for real-time monitoring of color values, statistical data, and quality control analysis. The adjustable measuring head supports sample heights up to 150mm, making it highly versatile for various industries such as cosmetics, food hygiene, plastics, electronics, paint and ink, printing, and ceramics. Its full-spectrum LED light source (400-700nm, 10nm output), combined with a 256-element CMOS image sensor, guarantees high reproducibility and color matching accuracy. Additionally, the built-in camera locating system ensures precise alignment for every measurement.
