Paint and Finishing Industry Applications 

Quality Control Features- The standard QC features in both the PCM+ and PSM+ color instruments and ColorSoft®-QCW software meet all the requirements of the paint finisher for reflection color quality control applications and out perform competitive instruments and software, most of which are more complicated and expensive.

Portability- Size and ease of use makes the Plus LED line of ColorTec-PCM/PSM instruments a unique unit for testing and documenting quality assurance issues. Simple, low cost, standard AAA batteries make in-plant use practical. The PCM+ can be used for testing and inspection of color, opacity and yellowness and for quick check of standards and first lots of production. Colors can be checked right on the production floor and data can then be later analyzed on a PC.

Color Measurement & Analysis- Most painted products have color delta acceptability of about 1.0. The ColorTec-PCM+ easily meets these needs. Many Quality Departments currently use filter Colorimeters with poor stability and poor inter-instrument agreement or depend on visual inspection. The PCM+ offers more capability and flexibility than most competitive instruments. Our line includes aperture sizes to meet most industrial parts requirements. For those materials requiring greater precision we offer a full line of LED based spectrophotometers (ColorTec-PSM+).

Formulating Software- The ColorTec-PSM+ spectrophotometer using ColorSoftÒ Advanced Windows software, provides spectral output, providing the data for industrial and trade sales color matching, batch correction and paint workoff. ColorTec also offers a full capability for Point of Sale Dealer systems using ColorSoft AutoMatch program with databases built with the Advanced ColorSoft System.
Ruggedness- With no moving parts and stable optics and solid state computer components, the PCM+ and PSM+ are operationally secure. The case is rigid thermo-plastic, the same material used to make most cellular phones and other roughly handled consumer items. With thousands of units shipped the PCM/PSM LED technology has a proven track record.
Complete System- We supply everything in one purchase: the instrument, software, USB computer connections, batteries, manual, electronic help, and telephone support.
