SpectraTrend HT

SpectraTrend HT takes non-contact color measurement to the highest levels, combining versatility, simplicity and performance in one easy to use compact 0/30 design.


Description

Real-time process color monitoring. Non-Contact color measurement.

SpectraTrend HT supports implementation of today’s Total Quality Management programs such as LQM, PAT, Six Sigma, DMAIC, and others that share a common goal of producing consistent product quality and reducing waste. SpectraTrend HT utilization can facilitate continuous monitoring of product Height to enhance Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) within their enterprise, reduce risk of color quality variation and associated costs through real-time process color monitoring and enhance consistency and predictability of their quality assurance approach.
