Ruby non-contact colour measurement
"on-the-fly"
The Ruby non-contact spectrocolorimetry system is able to supply up to 2000 spectra/second for the analysis of, for example, the colour of solid and liquid foodstuffs and colour matching of packaging
The Ruby system consists of an optical controller cabinet with a built-in, controlled, light source linked by fibre-optic cable to a remote measurement head; and, since the measurement head is not powered, it simplifies its installation into controlled environments The system can be used either as a hand-held or tripod-mounted measurement instrument in the QC laboratory or as an in-process colour measurement sensor on the production line where its 80mm working distance allows good clearance for objects on conveyor systems
