They can accurately reproduce colors in a way that is impossible for traditional digital cameras. Our 2D colorimeters cover the human color gamut nearly completely, quantify accurate color data, and enable actual colors to be seen accurately from images.

No, instead of spectroscopy, 3 filters that are equivalent to the human eye are utilized. Our 2D colorimeters faithfully input colors, exactly as seen by humans, and output them on the monitor. Color data for locations specified on the image reflected on the monitor are quantified (XYZ values/Lab values).

Traditional spectrophotometers can only measure colors as an average value across a specified range of measurement, whereas 2D colorimeters measure color across a plane. As colors across a wide range are compared as a distribution without taking an average, colors for lamé, metallic paint, and patterns can be measured.

It is a parameter that our company uniquely devised to compare colors and textures. The chromaticity distributions of the standard object and the object to be inspected are overlaid on a color space, and the degree of overlap of the volume of the 2 chromaticity distributions is represented as a percentage.
For more details, please take a look at this resource.

Similarly to humans, 2D colorimeters capture metallic paint and gloss as a space. Because 2D colorimeters hold colorimetry data for each pixel, they measure their colors and compare them.

Although the same formulas are used, there is no compatibility, because spectrophotometers and 2D colorimeters use different lighting for measurements.

We recommend using color difference to measure monochrome paint and using color distribution coincidence to measure metallic paint and wood grain. For monochromatic paint, because the color distributions are narrow and the degree of overlap is small, even if the color difference results are good, it is possible for the color distribution coincidence to be small. On the other hand, for metallic paint and wood grain, because the color distributions are wider, it is easier to determine the degree of overlap for the color distribution (color distribution coincidence).

There is shading correction, which corrects uneven lighting, dark correction, which corrects dark current noise, and white correction, which sets the standard white color.

Yes, uneven coloring can be measured.

Yes, transparent objects can be measured. A uniform background is chosen for measurement.

Yes, three dimensional objects can be measured. This is possible within the range of the depth of field.

Yes, self-luminous colors can be measured. Measurement results are represented as XYZ values.

Yes, it is possible to use measurement data as reference values.

At present, we are preparing a demonstration machine for rent, please contact us.

If it is a small amount of sample, please contact us as it may be available for free.

The devices can be seen at our company. If you would like to visit our company, please contact us beforehand.
We also participate in exhibitions.

Delivery takes roughly 1.5 months, but depending on the specs, we may need 3 months or more.

As a general rule, we do not sell 2D colorimeters by themselves.

As a general rule, we do not sell the software by itself.

We have successfully introduced our products to automobile manufacturers, dental material manufacturers, building material manufacturers, and printing companies.

Because our 2D colorimeters are of a camera type, there is no maximum size for objects to be measured, if the magnification of the lens and photographing distance are adjusted. However, from a color measurement viewpoint, there will be a maximum based on how much resolution is required for the area. Also, the maximum would vary based on whether a lens satisfying the demands is available or on restrictions on the photographing distance due to ceiling height.

By connecting a C mount to the optical microscope, small objects (to a certain extent) can be measured.

This depends on the exposure time, but it is a single click, similarly to releasing the shutter for a normal camera. The time needed to photograph 1 image is several tenths of a second.

This depends on the inspection categories, but general inspections can be measured in real-time.

Yes, inline inspections are possible. Inline inspections have been introduced using the RC-300 2D colorimeters.

The range of measurement can be specified based on the object and location to be measured, such as measurement of each block, measurement of several specified ranges, and measurement of the entire image.

At the moment, lighting with color temperature used for visual inspections and lighting with color temperature typically used when the product is on display are sufficient, but we recommend use of lighting with high color rendering properties.

Because the light diffraction of oblique lighting makes gloss stand out, we recommend oblique lighting for color measurement of metallic paint and textures. On the other hand, because diffused lighting provides uniform lighting without unevenness in luminance through equal light from all directions, we recommend diffused lighting for color measurement of base colors without texture.

Image data can be saved as bitmap, JPEG, or TIFF. Numerical data can be saved as CSV.

No, images photographed with a digital camera cannot be analyzed, because they do not have colorimetry data that images photographed with our 2D colorimeters have.

Yes it is possible to perform comparisons with past data, as long as the measurement conditions are equal.

No, scratches and debris cannot be detected.

Yes, it is possible to display in CMYK.

Yes, we offer maintenance services. However, they vary based on the contract.

The warranty period is 1 year. However, please note that the warranty only applies to malfunctions caused by normal use.

The color temperature for the fluorescent lights decrease with use. We recommend regular replacement of the fluorescent lights.
