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 products
have color delta acceptability of 1.0 or more. The ColorTec-PCM easily
meets these needs. Many Quality Departments currently use filter
Colorimeters with poor stability and poor inter-instrument agreement. The
PCM offers more capability and flexibility than most competitive
instruments. Our line includes aperture sizes to meet most industrial
materials requirements. For those materials requiring greater precision we
offer a full line of LED based spectrophotometers (ColorTec-PSM). The
analytical SP line meets the needs of the dye laboratory requiring both
analytical analyses in the UV and IR range as well as colorimetry.
Formulating Software – with the addition of a
true spectrophotometer to the our LED instrument line, using ColorSoftÒ
Advanced Windows software, the ColorTec-PSM instruments offer spectral
output, providing the data for dye color matching, batch correction and
recycle.
Ease of Use - First time users find Color-Tec
systems easy to set up and operate as a stand-alone instruments and easy
to run with our Windows based software. Those who have experienced other
color systems will find our simplified data management methods and
analytical tools give them flexibility and data control well beyond
anything they have ever used.

On-Line LED based systems are now available to
monitor continuous dye and finishing lines, assuring color consistency
without an inspector at each line.
Ruggedness - With no moving parts and stable optics
and solid state computer components, the PCM and PSM are operationally
secure. The case is ABS, the same polymer system used to make most
cellular phones and other roughly handled consumer items. With thousands
of units shipped the PCM has a proven track record.
Complete System - We supply everything in
one purchase: the instrument, software, computer connections, RS232
connections and universal AC power converter to 20 volt power, batteries,
manual, electronic help, and telephone support.
