3nh YS Series High-Performance Spectrophotometers for Precision Color Analysis

Product Details 

The 3nh YS series comprises four distinct spectrophotometer models—YS3010, YS3060, YS4510, and YS4560—each engineered to address specific color measurement needs across diverse industries. These instruments leverage cutting-edge optical geometry, robust hardware, and user-friendly software to provide accurate, repeatable results for applications ranging from laboratory research to industrial quality assurance. Below, we explore the key features, specifications, and applications of each model, highlighting their unique advantages.

YS3010 Economic Spectrophotometer

The YS3010 is an cost-effective solution designed for general-purpose color analysis. It features a single 8mm aperture, supporting both SCI (Specular Component Included) and SCE (Specular Component Excluded) modes simultaneously. With a concave grating system and a combined LED light source, it achieves a wavelength range of 400–700nm and a repeatability of ΔE*ab ≤0.05. The instrument includes a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen, camera positioning for accurate sample alignment, and storage for over 20,000 measurements. It complies with standards such as CIE No.15, ASTM E1164, and ISO7724/1, making it suitable for industries like paints, plastics, and food processing. The YS3010 emphasizes affordability without compromising on essential functions, offering PC software integration for data management and color quality control.

YS3060 Accuracy Spectrophotometer

Targeting high-precision applications, the YS3060 boasts dual apertures (8mm and 4mm) and UV light capability for fluorescent samples. Its repeatability reaches ΔEab ≤0.03, with inter-instrument agreement within ΔEab 0.15. The model incorporates a 256-element CMOS sensor, 41 illuminants (including D65 and LED variants), and a camera locating system for enhanced positioning. With storage for 28,000 samples and support for Android, iOS, and Windows, it is ideal for laboratory environments requiring rigorous color transmission and analysis. The YS3060 also includes advanced color indices like metamerism index and colorfastness, catering to sectors such as automotive coatings and textiles where minute color variations are critical.

YS4510 Standard Grating Spectrophotometer

The YS4510 adopts a 45/0 geometrical optics structure (45° ring illumination, 0° viewing), conforming to standards like GB/T 18833 and DIN5033 Teil7. It allows customizable apertures (8mm, 4mm, or 2mm) to accommodate varied sample sizes, from traffic signs to electronic components. Equipped with a long-life LED source and a concave grating, it measures reflectance from 0% to 200% with a repeatability of ΔE*ab ≤0.05. The device supports 41 illuminants and provides data outputs in CIELAB, XYZ, and Munsell systems. Weighing 600g with a compact design, it is portable for field use, yet robust enough for quality control in printing, dyeing, and ceramic industries.

YS4560 Advanced Grating Spectrophotometer

As the premium model, the YS4560 combines 45/0 optics with dual apertures (8mm and 4mm) and a dedicated UV source for fluorescence measurement. It excels in applications like traffic sign chromaticity testing, offering built-in tolerance settings and a gamut for reflective materials. With repeatability of ΔE*ab ≤0.03 and storage for 30,000 samples, it includes USB/Bluetooth dual connectivity and a 3.5-inch touchscreen. The YS4560 meets stringent standards for road safety and industrial color control, featuring advanced indices such as opacity and strength calculations. Its ergonomic design ensures ease of use in harsh environments, supported by a 5-year light source lifespan.

Common Features and Applications

Across the series, all models share core attributes: a 256-element CMOS sensor, 3.5-inch TFT display, Li-ion battery (enabling up to 5,000 measurements), and compatibility with optional accessories like powder test boxes and micro-printers. They support multiple color spaces (e.g., CIELAB, HunterLab) and difference formulas (e.g., ΔEab, ΔE00), alongside software for Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS. Typical industries include automotive (for paint matching), leather (finish quality), and food (color consistency), with each instrument validated for operating conditions of 0–40°C and 0–85% RH.

In summary, the 3nh YS series represents a versatile lineup of spectrophotometers, balancing economy, accuracy, and specialization. Users can select from these four types based on specific needs—whether for basic color matching, high-end lab analysis, customizable apertures, or fluorescence detection—ensuring optimal performance for any color measurement task.
