Model : CR-400


CR-410

Model : CR-410




Best-selling colorimeter globally accepted as the standard in a wide range of industries


The measuring head can perform measurement alone

The measuring head is detachable from the data processor. Now, you can take measurements directly with the head alone. What's more, you can connect the measuring head directly to a PC. Simply install our optional software, and your PC can function as the data processor.


User-defined evaluation formulas freely set up

The CR-400 Series features a User Index function that allows you to configure the evaluation formula and colorcalculation formula as desired. This feature is intended to meet the needs of color-control applications in which industry-specific or customized evaluation formulas are used instead of the versatile color system and standard evaluation formula such as L*a*b*. (Settings can be configured via a PC with optional software installed.)


Abundant accessories applicable to various materials

A varied selection of accessories is available to accommodate various types of targets including powder, paste and opaque liquids.


Compact data processor incorporates a high-speed printer

The compact, lightweight data processor is batteryoperated* and features a built-in high-speed printer. Its size and weight are approximately one-half those of the conventional DP-300 Series. In addition, the CR-400 Series is designed with a detachable shoulder strap for easier portability. *An AC adapter is included as a standard accessory.


Full data compatibility with the CR-300/310 series

To ensure data compatibility, the CR-400 Series utilizes the same illumination-viewing optical system as the conventional CR-300/310 Series. As a result, those upgrading from the preceding model can make full use of their existing data.
