The Multi‑Angle Spectrophotometer is a next‑generation instrument designed for advanced evaluation of complex special‑effect colors used in automotive coatings, plastics, cosmetics, and high‑performance materials. Built around a concave‑grating spectral engine and a 256‑pixel dual‑array CMOS sensor, it captures full optical behavior across 12 precisely arranged measurement angles, enabling accurate analysis of solid colors, metallic finishes, pearlescent effects, goniochromatic materials, and other effect coatings where appearance changes with viewing geometry.

Its blue‑enhanced full‑spectrum LED provides stable illumination across the entire visible range, ensuring long‑term spectral consistency without waveband deficiencies. With an inter‑instrument agreement of 0.18 ΔE00*, the device supports global production environments where cross‑plant consistency and traceability are critical. It stores up to 1000 standards and 10,000 samples, integrates with international color standards (ASTM, DIN, ISO, SAE), and supports multiple color spaces, illuminants, and automotive color‑difference formulas for seamless workflow compatibility.

The instrument offers four dedicated effect‑measurement functions—color, sparkle, sparkle grade, and graininess—captured with high repeatability and reproducibility across six sparkle angles and diffuse graininess geometry. Engineers can view spectral curves, colorimetric values, effect parameters, pass/fail results, and simulation data directly on the 3.5‑inch capacitive touchscreen, with all angles displayed simultaneously for rapid decision‑making.

Designed for industrial reliability, it features a 10‑year / 5‑million‑measurement LED lifespan, a 5000mAh Li‑ion battery supporting 5000 continuous tests, stable WiFi/Bluetooth 5.0 communication, and an ergonomic housing optimized for comfortable operation. A built‑in color camera provides precise measurement‑spot preview, improving alignment on complex surfaces.

With fast measurement (≈1s per angle), robust calibration options, and compatibility with global QC workflows, this spectrophotometer delivers the accuracy, stability, and efficiency required for modern effect‑finish evaluation in production, R&D, and laboratory environments.
