The SpectraProbe® XE on-line color measurement spectrophotometer continuously measures the color of coated metal on the production line. The colorimetric results are displayed on a screen and users are alerted when tolerances are exceeded. Having this information, the operator can make adjustments to film thickness of the paint or the bake time to maintain the desired color. Using 0°/45° optical geometry, the SpectraProbe XE correlates to laboratory measurements.

Guidelines for Making Paint Drawdowns
One of the best ways of measuring the color of paint using your HunterLab instrument is to create a "drawdown" by applying the paint evenly to a card. When the paint on the card is dry, it can then be placed at the instrument's sample port for measurement. Read more...
