Portable Spectrophotometer YR07032

The portable spectrophotometer YR07032 combines the functions of a spectrophotometer and color reader in a single device. Its D/8 optical geometry with SCI/SCE measurement allows for objective color analysis and reduces the influence of surface gloss or texture. It offers measurement apertures of 4 and 8 mm, repeatability of ΔE*ab ≤ 0.03, and an approximate measurement time of 1.5 seconds; for SCI and SCE measurements, the time is approximately 3.2 seconds.

The device incorporates a full-spectrum LED light source with UV light, a dual matrix silicon photodiode sensor, and a camera to help center the measurement area. Its 3.5-inch color touchscreen displays reflectance data, chromatic values, color differences, and pass or fail results. Additionally, it can be connected via USB or Bluetooth® 5.0 and store up to 1,000 standards and 30,000 samples.

The YR07032 supports color spaces such as CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, and LCh, as well as various illuminants and color difference formulas. It is an option for quality control in sectors such as plastics, electronics, paints, inks, printing, textiles, ceramics, and garments. In fieldwork, its portable format and approximate weight of 460 g facilitate taking measurements directly on samples and products.

Price of the Portable Spectrophotometer

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the YR07032 spectrophotometer used for?
It is used to measure and compare colors of samples and products, support quality control, and detect color differences between batches or references.

What measurement apertures does it include?
It includes apertures of 4 mm and 8 mm to adapt to samples of different sizes.

Can it be used outside the laboratory?
Yes. It is portable and can be used in production areas, material inspection, or goods reception, within its operating environmental conditions: 0–40 °C and up to 85% relative humidity without condensation.

How are the data transferred?
The device has USB and Bluetooth® 5.0 connectivity. It is also compatible with the SQCX software and the MOBCCS application, which can be downloaded from the official website according to the technical sheet.

Does the technical sheet include packaging and shipping weight?
The available information indicates an approximate weight of the device of 460 g, but does not specify the weight or dimensions of the packaging. It is advisable to request them to calculate transportation.

Advantages and Considerations

Among its main advantages are the dual measurement aperture, the indicated repeatability of ΔE*ab ≤ 0.03, the camera for positioning the sample, the display of results on screen, and connectivity with computers and mobile devices. The ability to save standards and samples also facilitates the comparison of results in quality control activities.

As considerations, the available apertures are 4 and 8 mm, so it is advisable to check that they are suitable for the size and shape of the samples. The sheet indicates Chinese and English as interface languages, in addition to traditional Chinese, but does not mention Spanish. It also does not provide battery autonomy, packaging weight, or dimensions of the transport case.

Field Use and Recommendations

To measure a sample, select the appropriate aperture, calibrate the device with the white plate, and place the instrument on a clean and stable surface. Use the camera to ensure that the area of interest is centered and, if you need to reduce variations between readings, take an average measurement of several readings. You can then compare the results with a saved standard and transfer the data via USB or Bluetooth.

To maintain accuracy, keep the apertures and calibration plates clean, avoid impacts, and protect the device from dust, moisture, and temperatures outside the specified range. Before starting a batch of measurements, verify the calibration and use the same measurement conditions to compare samples. If you need to associate measurements with a specific protocol, confirm the configuration of illuminant, observer, and color difference formula in advance.
