Ci6x Series Portable Spectrophotometers
Improving Color Management at Every Link of The Supply Chain
The Ci6x family of handheld spectrophotometers — Ci60, Ci62, Ci64 & Ci64UV is a performance-driven solution for managing color at any stage of production, and gives manufacturers a whole new level of confidence in their color data, regardless of where or when the measurements are collected. The Ci6x Series creates opportunities to develop a consistent color monitoring program, efficiently manage process quality control, and reduce operating costs.
A Versatile Package for a Wide Range of Color Applications
The many options within the product family give operations of all sizes the ability to build in a stable measurement system that delivers repeatable performance and increased product yield. This makes the Ci6x Series a reliable solution for a wide range of industries and applications:
Commercial Coatings: The need to meet specific color codes and regulations requires repeatable color measurement. The Ci6x Series provides the consistency demanded to ensure batch-to-batch color conformity.
Plastics: Batch consistency—from raw material through finished product—often varies depending on material supplier and process conditions. The Ci6x Series can monitor the color impact of shifts in process variables, while X-Rite application software storing color data that can be shared among the supply network to ensure color accuracy.
Automotive: Whether OEM interior, aftermarket parts, or second- and third-tier supplier components, color accuracy is an absolute must. The Ci6x system allows manufacturers at every level to achieve consistent readings. The ability to simultaneously measure SCI/SCE further enhances the quality control process.
Textiles: While materials and fabrics may appear similar at first glance, those that contain optical brightening agents (OBA) may result in a much different look under varied lighting conditions. Available calibrated UV enhanced illumination controls the UV/visible balance, enabling long-term, consistent measurement of optically bright samples.
Home Furnishings: Different materials—wood, paint, plastic, metal, fabric—and a wide variety of colors, make repeatable color conformance critical. The Ci6x family is able to read a wide range of materials and provide a benchmark measurement that can be used at each step of the production or assembly process.
Embedded NetProfiler for Ci62 and Ci64.
X-Rite’s patented color utility enables users to monitor the performance of their instruments to optimize measurement agreement anywhere in a manufacturing or supply chain, reducing downtime and operating costs.
Ci64 Graphical Jobs™
Shop floor and lab personnel can see visuals on the instrument’s large color screen of where and how measurements should be taken for accurate and repeatable acquisition of color data. The software helps to assure reliable measurement collection for statistical process control across shifts, production lines and separate manufacturing facilities.
Simultaneous specular included/specular excluded.
Using standard measurement methods, companies can immediately identify variances in color and gloss to ensure accurate color readings, or verify visual inspection.
Optional jigs and accessories so instruments can be customized to measure
surfaces accurately in a variety of applications.
Remote Measurement Trigger.
Accuracy and convenience of sample measurement.
Available Calibrated UV Enhanced Illumination.
The Ci64UV is equipped with UV illumination for accurate color measurement of plastics, textiles and papers that contain optical brightening agents.
Embedded Transforms.
Enables optimization of agreement with legacy instrumentation.
USB and Bluetooth* Communications Capability.
Keeps the Ci6x instrument connected to operations systems so data can be synchronized and viewable remotely.
*Check with our sales representative to identify if Bluetooth is an available option for your region.
Data Compatibility with X-Rite Sphere Handhelds.
Transfer and share data with existing X-Rite measurement tools.
Durable, Operator-Friendly Design.
The Ci6X Series features an ergonomic overmold design for easy handling, a flip-back shoe designed to withstand heavy use, and a reliable detent lock. It also operates on standard commercially available Li-ion batteries.
Dynamic User Interface (DUI).
Allows users to modify and configure the interface to meet their unique processes, saving valuable operating time.
User Interface Navigation.
Navigate the user interface with capacitive touch with lock key offering configurable menus perfectly orientated through a color-coded display.
