Designed to help companies manage the colour of textiles, plastic parts, and coatings accurately and affordably, X-Rite has introduced the RM200QC handheld spectrocolorimeter to give companies an inexpensive yet powerful way to record and communicate colour differences to speed introduction of new products and reduce instances of scrap. The hand-held RM200QC simplifies how textile, coatings, chemicals, plastic molding and other industries can compare the colours of lab samples or parts in production with reference standards, then create reports that can be shared with supply chain partners.
The new instrument goes well beyond the capabilities of existing colourimeters with advanced features that identify colour differences between samples and standards, opacity, and grayscale assessment, as well as highlighting how colours may change in appearance under D65 daylight and Illuminant A household tungsten-filament lighting, The RM200QC is inexpensive enough for companies to purchase multiple units that can be stationed at individual machines or at critical steps in a workflow to alert quality control personnel if a manufacturing process is out of control.
