spectro-guide gloss S
Color and Gloss Control
of automotive interior parts
Most people consider color and gloss harmony of the car inte-
rior to be a key item when judging the perceived quality of a
vehicle. Consequently, the quality requirements for the interior
design of a car have increased over the last years. A variety of
materials are used and need to be harmonized. To achieve a uni-
form look among the interior trim parts, very tight tolerances are
specified. Only instruments with excellent precision are able to
objectively control the production.
The new spectro-guide S family offers improved technical
performance for 60° gloss in the low gloss range 0 – 10 GU.
The excellent repeatability of ± 0.1 can be guaranteed due to a
patented calibration procedure.
In addition, the spectro-guide S spectrophotometer offers unique
benefits to always guarantee precise results:
■ Highly repeatable results independent of measuring direction
due to a patented, true circumferential illumination
■ Long-term stable calibration – needed only every three
months
■ Temperature stable color and gloss data between 10 – 40°C
■ 10 year warranty on the light source
■ 10 nm resolution for precise readings on brilliant and dark
colors
■ Professional documentation with easy-link software

spectro-guide Training
BYK-Gardner offers you more than just an instrument. We assist
you in analyzing your color readings, understanding how to set
tolerances and as a result be able to use the spectro-guide to
save time and money and at the same time improve your quality.
Therefore, the instrument comes with a half-day training course
including:

Color Measurement
for Specific Applications
Color Control of Small Parts
Keyboards, pens and window handles require a color instrument
with a very small aperture and a repeatable sample placement.
color-guide 45/0, 4 mm aperture together with the optional sam-
ple holder guarantee repeatable results and a convenient sample
placement.
■ Minimum sample size: 5 x 5 mm (0.2 x 0.2 in)
Color Control of Powdered Material color-guide 45/0, 4 mm
When measuring powdery or granular material like raw material
pucks or grainy food, the instrument's optics must be protected.
The color-guide spectrophotometer with glass sealed aperture
uses a colorless, optical glass and can directly measure such prod-
ucts, thus saving sample preparation time.
Color Control – easy and secure
■ Easy to use and handle – even for color beginners
■ Stable, long-term calibration – needed only every three
months
■ Highly temperature stable – even in extreme conditions
■ Uses standard AA batteries – good for 10,000 readings
■ 10 year warranty on light source – no lamp changes needed
■ Light weight and small size – only weighs 500 g
