BYK-mac ROBOTIC

Auto­matic mea­sure­ment of total color impres­sion of effect fin­ishes at the line

Prod­ucts can only be man­u­fac­tured with uni­form and con­sis­tent qual­ity when pro­cess sta­bil­ity is guar­an­teed. There­fore, multi-angle color, sparkle and graini­ness must be mea­sured on a rou­tine basis. The BYK-mac ROBOTIC spec­tropho­tome­ter allows auto­mated total color con­trol as it is mounted on a robotic arm. The robotic sys­tem not only mea­sures a high num­ber of cars, but also on the same areas.

Total color impres­sion of effect
fin­ishes

The BYK-mac ROBOTIC mea­sures both multi-angle color and flake char­ac­ter­i­za­tion.

• Multi-angle color mea­sure­ment at 6-angles clearly defines the light-dark as well as color flop behavior of
  effect fin­ishes
• Spark­ling and Graini­ness con­trol with a high res­o­lu­tion CCD cam­era sim­u­lates effect changes under direct and dif­fuse light­ing con­di­tions.
• Multi-angle color and effect data help to ana­lyze the cause of a color mis­match

Reli­able and objec­tive color and effect data

The BYK-mac ROBOTIC spec­tropho­tome­ter uses a light source with long-term sta­bil­ity and patented illu­mi­na­tion con­trol which pro­vide supe­rior accu­racy and low main­te­nance for many years.

• Sta­ble, long-term cal­i­bra­tion - needed only every three months
• Tem­per­a­ture inde­pen­dent mea­sure­ment results between
  10 - 40°C - with­out cal­i­bra­tion
• 10 year war­ranty on light source - no lamp changes needed
• Excel­lent agree­ment between instru­ments and cor­re­la­tion to BYK-mac and BYK-mac COLOR

Reli­able read­ings at any time

In order to guar­an­tee sta­ble posi­tion­ing, the
BYK-mac ROBOTIC is equipped with trig­ger pins on the bot­tom plate of the instru­ment. The sen­si­tiv­ity of the pins can be adjusted to the cur­va­ture of the mea­sure­ment area. If the pins do not have con­tact with the sur­face an error mes­sage will be dis­played.
