CR100FF

On-Line Process Color Meter

The CR100FF monitors the colour of process variables directly above the product, analysing the returned white light to determine L*a*b* values (or other colour components). The optional operator interface displays this colour on a graphical display, with outputs available to plant control via analog or field bus options.

Built to last, the CR100FF is very simple to install and use, and virtually maintenance-free for years of reliable results. A variety of colour space outputs are available, typically viewed in the widely accepted CIE L*a*b* scale, with each colour constituent available as a user-scalable analogue/digital/bus output.
