Respond to Color Product Changes
When They Happen, As They Happen
Continuous, real-time measurement of your product on a process line, which allows you to respond to product color changes when they happen, as they happen.
HunterLab on-line instruments make real time color measurements of your product, without contact or intrusion, as it is being produced. From the beginning to end, production runs can be continuously monitored to identify color variation and out-of-spec product. This information helps you make permanent process improvements, while providing assurance that your product is within specification and allowing you to make shipment and allocation decisions. Our on-line systems help you in four major ways:
Monitoring the finished product quality
Making decisions about allocating product to a customer
Monitoring the process variables that affect color
Helping you to control process variables
Systems Designed For Your Needs
The application determines the type of sensor best suited to your measurement needs. Spectrophotometers and Colorimeters provide end-to-end, single point, or side-to-side color information through a variety of mounting designs. No matter which configuration is best for your application, each system performs continuous monitoring and measures color automatically by computer control.
In addition to quality assurance information, HunterLab on-line systems also help you streamline process monitoring and control. Process changes affecting product color are more quickly isolated. Real-time color data makes experimenting with process variables easier and helps you identify and eliminate those leading to off shade product. Process corrections can be achieved faster.
