Professional Spectrocolorimeters ARW-T10 & ARW-T20

Spectrocolorimeters ARW-T10 and ARW-T20 for color quality control

The ARW-T10 and ARW-T20 color difference meters provide a complete professional solution for color measurement and quality control in industrial applications. Designed to ensure accuracy, reliability, and ease of use, these instruments can accurately measure samples of various shapes and sizes. They are suitable for a wide range of industries, including plastic and electronics, paints, inks and coatings, textile and garment printing, general printing, packaging, and ceramics, providing highly accurate color measurement results.

These instruments are designed to meet demanding quality control requirements and combine colorimeter and spectrophotometer functions in a single device, enabling comprehensive and highly accurate color analysis. Thanks to their D/8 optical geometry with SCI/SCE modes, the ARW-T10 and ARW-T20 can evaluate color both including and excluding the specular component, providing objective measurements in accordance with international standards.

Both models use a full-spectrum LED light source (400–700 nm) designed to provide uniform light distribution across the entire visible spectrum. This helps prevent the spectral information loss typically associated with conventional LEDs and enables accurate measurement of fluorescent materials, significantly improving the precision and stability of measurement results.

From a technological standpoint, the ARW-T10 and ARW-T20 are equipped with a high-precision dualbeam CMOS sensor, which enables faster and more efficient data processing while providing reliable and repeatable results over time. The instruments also feature automatic calibration using a professional standard calibration plate with standard reflectance of R% ≥95% and excellent surface uniformity, ensuring consistent measurement accuracy while minimizing operational errors.

Designed for practical and continuous use, the ARW-T10 and ARW-T20 feature a compact and ergonomic design with a 2.8-inch color TFT touchscreen display, making operation simple in any environment. Their portability and ease of use make them ideal for both laboratory testing and on-site measurements directly on the production line

Available Configurations

The product is available in two configurations, differentiated by their measurement aperture, to meet different application requirements: 

• ARW-T10 Spectrocolorimeter: Φ8 mm / Φ10 mm aperture (flat measurement aperture), ideal for standard surfaces and medium-to-large samples.
• ARW-T20 Spectrocolorimeter: Φ4 mm / Φ5 mm aperture (flat measurement aperture), ideal for small surfaces, details, or difficult-to-access areas.

Main features of the ARW-T10 and ARW-T20 Spectrocolorimeters

• The spectrocolorimeters feature a D/8 optical system (diffuse illumination, 8-degree viewing angle) with SCI/SCE modes, enabling color analysis both with and without the specular component. This ensures comprehensive and reliable results under different surface conditions. The instruments are therefore suitable for color management and quality control across various industries, including color matching and coatings, textiles, plastics, food, building materials, cosmetics, and more.
• The instruments use a full-spectrum balanced LED light source to provide uniform spectral distribution, helping prevent the loss of color information and ensuring accurate measurements even on complex or fluorescent materials.
• Equipped with a high-precision dual-beam CMOS sensor, an advanced data acquisition system that improves processing speed, measurement stability, and repeatability, ensuring consistent results even during extended quality control sessions.

• The spectrocolorimeters feature an automatic calibration system using a high-reflectance standard white calibration plate (≥95%), ensuring measurement stability and reducing operational errors over time.
• The spectrocolorimeters support multiple color spaces, including CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, CIE LUV, sRGB, βxy, and DIN Lab99, as well as multiple illuminants, including D65, A, C, D50, D55, D75, F1, F2 (CWF), F3, F4, F5, F6, F7 (DLF), F8, F9, F10 (TPL5), F11 (TL84), F12 (TL83 / U30), U35, NBF, ID50, and ID65, meeting a wide range of measurement requirements.

• Equipped with a 2.8-inch high-visibility color TFT touchscreen display, providing immediate access to spectral data, color values, color differences, and other measurement information.
• The instruments feature a compact and well-balanced structure designed for continuous use both in the laboratory and directly in production environments, reducing operator fatigue and improving operational efficiency. The ergonomic palm grip is suitable for continuous measurements, making the instruments fast and easy to use.
