CR8 by 3nh: A High-Precision Professional Color Reader for Modern Industrial Demands
The CR8 spectrocolorimeter, developed by 3nh, is a high-end color measurement device designed to meet the stringent requirements of professionals across industries such as plastics, electronics, paint, ink, textiles, printing, and ceramics. This advanced model features grating-based spectrophotometry, offering superior resolution and finer colorimetric analysis than conventional white LED models by eliminating spectral gaps.
Its full-spectrum balanced LED light source ensures homogeneous spectral distribution across the entire visible range (400–700 nm). This lighting system enables fast, accurate measurements with outstanding consistency. The 32-element dual-matrix photodiode sensor enhances sensitivity under low-light conditions without saturation, delivering extended spectral response and remarkable stability even in challenging environments.
The CR8 includes a 3.5-inch color touchscreen, providing intuitive access to essential data such as reflectance, chromaticity values, color difference charts, pass/fail results, and color simulation. The device operates independently or can be integrated with the SQCX quality management software and the MOBCCS mobile app for cloud-based color database management—eliminating the need for physical color charts.
Its ergonomic design combines aesthetics with functionality. The smooth, precisely finished housing offers a comfortable grip, and the measurement aperture is adaptable (Ø8 mm standard, Ø4 mm optional), making the CR8 suitable for a wide variety of sample types, including textiles, plastics, powders, and flat surfaces.
The CR8 delivers exceptional measurement repeatability and low inter-instrument error, ensuring result consistency across multiple devices. Its long-lasting lithium battery supports up to 6000 measurements over 8 hours, providing all-day autonomy.
With internal storage for 500 standard samples and up to 10,000 data entries, the CR8 is the perfect combination of performance, connectivity, and ergonomics—making it an essential tool for industrial quality control.
