MA-5 QC
Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer

Rapid Evaluation of Special Effect Coatings

The MA-5 QC is a cost-effective multi-angle color measurement device designed to ensure consistent color matching throughout the supply chain. Its top features precisely arranged optical components, making it 60% faster, 50% lighter, and 40% smaller than other 5-angle measurement devices on the market. Additionally, it supports one-handed operation, enabling more measurements per hour.

Equipped with a built-in quality control manager, the MA-5 QC detects paint defects early in the manufacturing process, preventing unnecessary costs. By identifying color errors sooner, it accelerates time to market. The return on investment for the MA-5 QC is immediate.

Reliable Color Measurement

? Indicator lights ensure the device is always correctly positioned on the sample.
? Fast measurement, capturing data within 2.5 seconds.
? Tested on 196 coatings (including solid colors, metallic, and pearlescent effects), with over 95% showing repeatability of less than 0.16 dE.
? Programmable for automated workflows to quickly collect multiple data points.
? Features an automatic optical shutter to prevent dust ingress.

Easy Data Analysis

? One-touch reports and an intuitive touchscreen interface provide quick data output, saving time.
? Unique on-screen temperature preview checks if current sample temperature affects color data.
? Pass/fail analysis with green and red indicator lights for error-proof operation.
? Backward compatibility supports legacy data, ensuring smooth integration with MA68II and MA94.
? Integrates with existing digital standards for easy data transfer.
? Includes a docking station for convenient PC connectivity and automatic charging.

Complete Quality Control Solution for Effect Coatings

X-Rite's EFX QC software complements the MA-5 QC by digitally transferring tolerances and measurement procedures, while monitoring color matching consistency across the supply chain in real time. It also supports advanced features such as a searchable database.
