BYK-mac

Total color impres­sion of effect 
fin­ishes

The appear­ance of effect  fin­ishes is influ­enced by dif­fer­ent view­ing angles and view­ing con­di­tions. Apart from a light-dark flop and color shift spe­cial spark­ling effects can be cre­ated.
The BYK-mac spec­tropho­tome­ter is unique as it mea­sures both multi-angle color and flake char­ac­ter­i­za­tion in one portable device. 

• Tra­di­tio­nal 5-angle color mea­sure­ment: 15° / 25° / 45° / 75° / 110°
  
• Addi­tio­nal color mea­sure­ment behind the gloss for color travel of inter­fer­ence pig­ments: -15°
  
• Sparkle and graini­ness mea­sure­ment for flake char­ac­ter­i­za­tion

Ergo­nomic design and easy oper­a­tion

The shape of the instru­ment is designed to ensure easy han­dling and true porta­bil­ity. Due to its intu­i­tive menu qual­ity con­trol of metal­lic fin­ishes has never been easier.

• Menu guided oper­a­tion accord­ing to your own sam­pling
  pro­ce­dure
• Desig­nated but­tons for stan­dard and sam­ple read­ings
• Scroll wheel to select menu func­tions
• Large dis­play: com­plete statis­tics for selectable val­ues and alphanu­mer­i­cal name input
• Stor­age of up to 1000 read­ings in selectable mem­ories
• auto-chart soft­ware for pro­fes­sio­nal anal­y­sis,
  doc­u­men­ta­tion and data man­age­ment

Reli­able read­ings at any time

In order to guar­an­tee sta­ble posi­tion­ing, the BYK-mac is equipped with trig­ger pins on the bot­tom plate of the instru­ment. If the pins do not have con­tact with the sur­face, an error mes­sage will be dis­played. This ensures repro­du­ci­ble results on test pan­els as well as curved parts (r > 500 mm).
Addi­tio­n­ally, the sur­face tem­per­a­ture is mea­sured and saved with each mea­sure­ment.
