• New product: CM-5 Benchtop Spectrophotometer
Konica Minolta Sensing has launched the CM-5 benchtop spectrophotometer for use in the paint and coatings industry. The CM-5 is a full featured, highly accurate and a totally standalone instrument that does not require a PC. The CM-5 can display everything from numeric data, spectral graphs and colorimetric plots, making a PC for basic color control a thing of the past. The versatility of the top port design can support the measurement of solid objects, pills, granules, liquids and pastes. It also integrates a sliding body panel to expose its large transmittance chamber capable of measuring films or plates up to 60 mm thick. The sliding panel design, with no sides, allows for the measurement of an object with no length limitation.
