ISO standards
The CM-3630 ensures adherence to ISO optical
standards and a wide array of national standards
worldwide. It provides exact conformity with ISO
standards 2469 and 2470 for measuring ISO
brightness. With PaperControl software, bright-
ness, opacity, whiteness and yellowness indices
are calculated and displayed in accordance with
several international and national standards such
as: ISO, SCAN, DIN, TAPPI, CPPA, and AFNOR.
Whiteness Measurements
To get correct measurement readings of paper
with Optical Brightening Agents, the amount of
UV radiation must be controlled and adjusted.
PaperControl offers several methods to adjust the
UV radiation.To prevent the triplet effect exhibited
by some special Optical Brightening Agents, the
CM-3630 allows you to switch the light source
between full power and soft flash mode.
Measuring Color Difference
In addition to production control and whiteness
measurement, PaperControl also provides a Color
Difference module, which displays the measurement
readings as numerical data, spectral reflection
curves or color space plots.
Quick Opacity Measurement
Measuring opacity can be done in a matter of
seconds: Simply position the opacity jig on the
white side and measure. Then rotate the opacity
jig to the black side, measure again – that's it!
Patented* Numerical UV Control
Numerical UV Control (NUVC) makes calibration and
adjustments to whiteness and tint a swift and quick
procedure. In fact, the whole process is much faster
than current methods used in conventional instru-
ments. Since it's all done digitally, exact and reliable
results are assured. And with the total absence of
moving parts in the spectrophotometer's optical
system, it is absolutely robust and completely
maintenance-free! With patented NUVC, Konica Minolta
has turned the once time-consuming and error-prone
calibration process into a quick, accurate and relia-
ble procedure.
Data compatibility
The CM-3630´s numerical UV control system
combined with its user calibration option allows easy
adjustment of the instrument parameters to your
current measurement system. Such precision
guarantees that your brightness measurements will
perfectly correspond with the data you've collected
over the years.
