Key Benefits: Boost Precision, Efficiency, and Data Insights in Your Lab

This advanced tester tackles key challenges in optical property analysis, such as manual errors, time-intensive processes, and data silos that often lead to inconsistent results and delayed insights. By automating measurements and integrating smart features, it streamlines operations, minimizes human intervention, and provides actionable data, helping you achieve superior quality control and research outcomes with confidence.

• Unmatched Precision and Accuracy: With indication errors as low as ∆x ≤ 0.02, ∆y ≤ 0.02, ∆R_457 ≤ 1.0, and ∆Y ≤ 1.5, plus resolutions down to 0.0001 for chromaticity coordinates, it eliminates variability, addressing the pain of unreliable readings that can compromise research integrity and material evaluations.
• Automated One-Key Operation: Intelligent optical channel switching (Rx, Ry, Rz) and automatic fluorescent light path adjustments enable effortless, interference-free testing, solving the frustration of cumbersome manual setups and reducing operator training time.
• Comprehensive Data Management and Analysis: WIFI-enabled cloud storage via PN-QMS allows for big data statistics, including averages, max/min values, standard deviations, and coefficients of variation, alleviating issues with scattered data and enabling seamless reporting and visual displays for better procurement and research decisions.
• Versatile Measurement Capabilities: Covers a wide range of parameters like tristimulus values, chromaticity coordinates, whiteness indices (CIE, Hunter), yellowness, opacity, light scattering/absorption coefficients, and ink absorption, making it ideal for diverse applications and preventing the need for multiple devices.
• User-Friendly Design and Connectivity: A 7-inch color touch screen, integrated thermal printer, and options for WIFI, RS232, and USB ensure easy integration into lab environments, tackling the hassle of outdated equipment that lacks modern connectivity and power-off data protection.
• Standards-Compliant Reliability: Adheres to numerous standards including GB/T 7973-7975, ISO 2470-2, ISO 2471, and ISO 11475, ensuring your tests meet international requirements and reducing compliance-related risks in lab purchasing.

For researchers analyzing material properties or purchasers seeking dependable tools, the PN-48AF transforms complex testing into a precise, efficient process, saving time and resources while enhancing overall lab productivity.

How It Solves Customer Pain Points

Lab professionals frequently face inefficiencies from manual testers that require constant adjustments, leading to errors in brightness, color, and opacity measurements, especially with fluorescent samples. The PN-48AF resolves this through its d/0 lighting geometry, 150mm integrating sphere, and 30mm test hole, which eliminate mirror-reflected light influences and support samples up to 40mm thick with planes no smaller than Φ30mm. Automated switching replaces outdated pull-plate designs, ensuring consistent results without human error. In variable lab conditions (indoor temperatures of 20±10°C and humidity under 85%), its robust build (dimensions 280×370×447mm, net weight ~16kg) and power supply flexibility (100-240VAC) maintain performance, addressing environmental sensitivities. Additionally, storing up to 10 reference samples with power-off protection prevents data loss, streamlining workflows and mitigating the pain of rework in quality assurance.

Technical Specifications: Built for Precision and Durability

Engineered with a focus on accuracy, the PN-48AF features a simulated D65 illumination source and adheres to CIE 1964 and 1976 color systems for reliable measurements. Key precision metrics include chromaticity coordinate resolutions of 0.0001 and other values at 0.01, with tight error tolerances to guarantee repeatable outcomes. It supports extensive parameters such as diffuse reflection factors (Rx, Ry, Rz), tristimulus values (X10, Y10, Z10), lightness (L*), chroma (C_ab^), hue angle (hab), dominant wavelength (λd), excitation purity (Pe), and color differences (∆E_ab^, ∆L^*, etc.). Whiteness options encompass D65 brightness (R457), fluorescence brightness, CIE and Hunter whiteness, yellowness (YI), and specialized indices for ceramics and building materials. Opacity (OP), transparency (T), light scattering (S) and absorption (K) coefficients, plus ink absorption values, round out its capabilities.
