The D8 color inspection system is a robust in-line color matching tool for quality control and precise color consistency. The system is designed for challenging industrial applications, such as consumer electronics manufacturing, and it provides lab-quality measurements directly on the manufacturing line. Its non-contact, real-time spectrophotometer performs measurements in less than a second, enabling throughputs of over 500,000 samples per day with zero cross-contamination. The compact design allows color measurement with the specular component included (SCI) or specular component excluded (SCE) using diffuse illumination and an 8° measurement angle.

At the core of the D8 series is the integration of illumination optics and measurement sensors into a compact assembly that fits into small spaces. It has a fully sealed, chemically resistant case with an easily cleaned and replaceable sapphire window, which protects the integrating sphere and internal optics from dust and other contaminants. There are several configurations available depending on your needs, such as ultra-small spot size measurements, combined SCI and SCE, or fiber-less measurement heads for a movable system.
