3nh TS1060 Spectrodensitometer (Advanced Edition) is the flagship model of the spectrodensitometer series, custom-engineered for high-end printing enterprises, precision electronics manufacturers, research institutes, and quality inspection agencies. Utilizing planar grating spectrophotometric technology and equipped with a dual-array 40-group silicon photodiode sensor, it achieves a density repeatability of 0.001D, supports density scanning, and guarantees First-Grade Metrology Compliance. The TS1060 stands out for its 'Flagship Precision and Ultimate Performance': inter-instrument agreement is optimized to within ΔE*ab 0.18 (reaching industry-leading standards to ensure high data consistency across multiple devices and production plants), 7 measurement apertures provide full-scenario coverage from standard to extreme testing requirements, and 20,000-record storage paired with professional software enables comprehensive data management and quality traceability. Whether for research-grade precision measurement or authoritative testing, TS1060 is the ultimate choice for users demanding perfection in quality.
Equipped with 7 measurement apertures: Φ11mm, Φ10mm, Φ6mm, Φ5mm, Φ3mm, Φ2mm, and Φ1.5mm. The ultra-small 1.5mm aperture accurately measures micro-text, fine graphics, and delicate electronic components. A single device handles everything from micro-areas to large color patches without requiring multiple instrument purchases, significantly lowering capital investment and management complexity.

Achieves density repeatability ≤ 0.001D and colorimetric repeatability ΔE*ab ≤ 0.02 (30-measurement white plate average at 5s intervals after the instrument is preheated and calibrated, except M3). Inter-instrument agreement is controlled within ΔE*ab ≤ 0.18 (average across 14 BCRA Series II color tiles, except M3). For group enterprises operating across multiple factories, it guarantees seamless measurement consistency across devices, workshops, and plants. For inspection institutions, it ensures test reports carry equal authority and comparability.

Onboard storage holds up to 20,000 measurement records with seamless multi-terminal synchronization across Android, iOS, Windows, WeChat Mini-Program, and HarmonyOS. Automatically generates professional analytical reports with one-click export functionality.

Combines planar grating spectrophotometry with a dual-array 40-group silicon photodiode array sensor for research-grade spectral acquisition and analytical precision. Density repeatability within 0.001D captures subtle density and color variances. Supports continuous multi-point density scanning to generate full-format density distribution curves, comprehensively evaluating printing uniformity.

Guaranteed First-Grade Metrology Compliance ensures measurement data authority and traceability, fulfilling rigorous demands for quality inspection, scientific experiments, ISO quality system certifications, and high-end client audits. Helps enterprises pass client factory audits smoothly and improves brand prestige.

Supports Netmetric network calibration, enabling accumulated measurement deviations caused by long-term instrument use to be corrected remotely over the network. It also allows systematic calibration and alignment of all instruments within an organization and across its supply chain, significantly reducing inter-instrument measurement variation. For group enterprises with multiple factories and production lines, Netmetric enables unified quality standards and centralized management across sites, substantially reducing communication costs and quality risks associated with cross-factory collaboration.

FAQs About TS1060 Spectrodensitometer

Colors look different under various lights mainly because of metamerism—a phenomenon where two colors that match under one light source fail to match under another, caused by differences in the spectral composition of light.

Different lighting varies the color perception of objects. Warm light, like that from incandescent bulbs, tends to make colors more yellow, while daylight presents a bluish tint. Our color vision system plays a compensating role using a mechanism called color constancy.
Every light source emits light with a unique "spectral fingerprint" (i.e., the range and intensity of wavelengths it contains). This directly affects how an object’s surface reflects light and how our eyes perceive its color.
The accuracy of colors is determined by comparing the values of the colors (L*a*b*) of a sample with a standard reference sample using tools such as spectrophotometers. The variation is measured as ΔE. The smaller the value of ΔE, the more accurate, the nearer to the target color.
Color evaluation will change based on how a sample is viewed. A 45° viewing angle to the source is recommended to reduce shading and achieve consistent comparison.
Depending on the scale of the manufacturer, its matte, low-sheen finish can be called gloss level 3. Overall, gloss levels in certain standards go between 1 (flat) to 7 (high gloss). Level 3 is considered low-gloss or satin-like.
Measuring zinc coating thickness is most commonly using magnetic induction. The gauge measures how far the magnetic probes are to the metal base under the zinc. This is the most reliable way to measure the thickness and the preservation of the galvanization.
