X-Rite Ci7800/Ci7600 Benchtop Spectrophotometer for the Plastics Industry
Process Control for Perfect Color
From concept through application of the final product, colour fidelity across the entire supply chain is the optimal goal in the plastics industry.
In a world where plastics are manufactured on an increasingly distributed and global basis, with customers often seeking custom colours, it can be challenging to ensure consistent colour throughout the entire supply chain and accurate colours at the point of delivery. Using next-generation color measurement instruments will ensure that specifications and tolerances are met. Right the first time. Right, all the time.
Precise, Consistent Sample Measurement
Older benchtop spectrophotometers can be complicated to configure for proper performance. It can be difficult to identify the exact measurement location and preview samples to check for defects, resulting in wasted time with trial-and-error measurements. Use the next-generation X-Rite benchtop spectrophotometer Ci7800, a master instrument, and the Ci7600, the cost-effective compatible version. Use in combination with X-Rite NetProfiler and/or Color iMatch software for:
• Combined reflectance and transmission measurements to formulate to desired transparency or translucency.
• Automated, software-driven configuration across all locations.
• Fast, easy identification of the exact measurement location with a preview to check for defects.
• An audit trail that includes device condition, sample image, and parameters at the time of measurement.
Compliance Verification
When raw materials or final products arrive at their destination with colour issues, it can be devastating to cost and delivery schedules. A supplier scorecard quickly and easily reports relative performance levels of suppliers so all appropriate stakeholders in the supply chain can catch and correct errors early in the process.
Automated Instrument Set-Up
Automated instrument set-up with easy-to-use software takes the guesswork out of instrument configuration and eliminates potential for error. Pre-load custom settings and reduce the learning curve for operators. Consistent measurement—a few mouse clicks away! The The Ci7800 and Ci7600’s easy to read LED screen ensures operator ease of use.
The Ultimate in Flexibility
Your new Ci7800 and Ci7600 comes with up to five apertures and three UV filters for the utmost in measurement flexibility. Even better: The measurement lens zooms automatically when the aperture is changed.
Software Options for Improved Productivity, Reliability
By adding selected software solutions to support your X-Rite Ci7600/Ci7800, you can improve productivity and reduce errors and rework.
• Cloud-based NetProfiler to verify, optimize and certify the performance of your colour measurement devices—across the plant or around the globe.
• Color iMatch for accurate colour formulation to meet customer-provided standards.
• Color iQC to remove the guesswork from evaluating colours during the production process.
