Product Details
CM-36dG and CM-36dGV are 2-in-1 spectrophotometers that measure both color and gloss.Easily measure color and gloss simultaneously to significantly improve inspection efficiency, while achieving superior color management and color matching calculations with high precision.
CM-36dG: Horizontal model for simultaneous color and gloss measurement, with UV adjustment.
CM-36dGV: Vertical structure model; functions the same as CM-36dG, but better suited for measuring textiles and paper.
CM-36d: Entry-level, economical model for color measurement only (spectral reflectance).
• d/8 optical structure, 360-740 nm measurement range
• CM-36dG and CM-36dGV are 2-in-1 spectrophotometers that measure both color and gloss simultaneously.
• Perform simultaneous reflectance and transmittance measurements with multiple aperture options
• Convenient preview system with digital UV control
• Simultaneous SCI/SCE measurement
The CM-36dG, CM-36dGV, and CM-36d are the successors to the desktop spectrophotometers CM-3600A and CM-3610A. The CM-3600A series has been widely adopted across industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, and home appliances. The newly launched CM-36dG series meets color matching and quality control needs for diverse sectors including paint, plastics, and textiles. It enables simultaneous measurement of color and gloss*1, significantly improving inspection efficiency while delivering superior color management through high precision. Additionally, the CM-36dG series features innovative technology that minimizes measurement errors caused by environmental temperature and humidity fluctuations, providing users with a stable and reliable measuring experience. Compared to previous models, the CM-36dG offers significant operational improvements, greatly enhancing production and inspection efficiency for operators.
