Benchtop Spectrophotometer with Numerical UV control for the Paper Industry

Highly competitive markets, such as the paper, pulp and cellulose industry, require a commitment to top quality throughout.

The CM-3630 benchtop spectrophotometer ensures compliance to optical standards ISO 2469 and ISO 2470 used in the Pulp and Paper Industry. Used in combination with PaperManager software, values for colour, brightness, whiteness, and yellowness indices are calculated and displayed in full accordance with several international and national standards such as ISO, SCAN, DIN, TAPPI, CPPA and AFNOR.

Numerical UV-Control greatly simplifies calibration and adjustments to whiteness and tint. In just a few seconds, the CM-3630A is calibrated and ready for measurement, much faster and with conventional instruments. Utilising Numerical UV-Control results in a significant reduction in moving parts and reduced maintenance requirements.

Features

d:0° geometry with 30mm measuring aperture

Measure paper colour In full compliance with ISO, SCAN, DIN, TAPPI, CPPA and AFNOR.

Compatible with measurement data from the CM-3630

Operators upgrading from the previous generation can be confident in the inter model agreeement for the continuity of targets and tolerances.

Built-in targeting camera

The built in sample positionning camera aids the efficiency of measurements by ensuring accurate positioning of samples even if the sample is textured, small or inhomogeneous.

Additional smaller measurement aperture

Further aids the efficiency, utility and versatility of this instrument for all requirements in the supply chain.

Integrated mounts for tablet computer

A tablet computer (comercially available) can be easily mounted to the body of the spectrophgotometer i.e. Windows tablet with Papermanager Software to greatly aid the easy operation and instant feedback of measurement data.

Accessories

Optional accessories for CM-3630A

Opacity JIG CM-A134

The Opacity Jig CM-A134 is equipped on one side with a white tile and on the opposite side with a black cavity and allows quick and precise opacity measurements of paper, films and similar materials. The Opacity Jig can be simply attached and de-attached without tools, but thanks to the turn able sample holder the Opacity Jig can be used also for thin samples for reflectance measurements.
