Product Description
The LS173 is a portable, multifunctional colorimeter with D/8° (SCI) optical geometry. It was specifically designed for precise color measurement and color management in industrial applications.
The device features a 3.5-inch capacitive IPS color touchscreen, enabling intuitive and convenient operation. The integrated color analysis software allows measured colors to be quickly matched to the nearest color codes.
In addition, the device supports precise color difference analysis as well as various color standards and formulas, thus facilitating efficient quality control (QC).
Main Features
Precise color measurement in approximately 1 second
Color difference comparison for rapid quality control
Supports QC batch testing and threshold setting
Flexible selection of various color difference formulas
Automatic assignment to electronic color charts
Ideal for industrial color control and color matching
Application
The LS173 colorimeter is frequently used in the following sectors:
Paint and coating industry
Metalworking
Stone and ceramic industry
Tile and plastics production
Quality control and color management
Thanks to its integrated spherical diffusion light source, the device is particularly well-suited for high-gloss and reflective surfaces.
