A New Approach to Quantifying Colour & Appearance

Overall visual appearance is a major feature in the assessment and control of product quality. The Lovibond^® CAM-System 500 is an imaging colorimeter that presents a new approach to quantifying colour and appearance; it is an innovative QC inspection system that allows the user to decide quickly and objectively whether a product meets acceptable colour and appearance criteria or if it has undesirable defects. Based on digital imaging technology, the CAM-System 500 uses acceptable samples to generate a reference profile for the product, including minimum and maximum limits, then captures quantitative image data, which are compared to a generated from acceptable samples.
