Brightness Meter 60° YR07019

The YR07019 is a portable gloss meter with a wide range (0 to 1000 GU) applicable to paints, varnishes, coatings, plastics, ceramics, wood, and hardware. It features four operating modes: basic, statistical, continuous, and quality control via the PC software GQC6. Its integrated rechargeable lithium-ion battery of 3200 mAh ensures great autonomy of over 10,000 measurements per day. It has USB/RS-232 connectivity for immediate result transfer and automated report generation. Its ergonomic and lightweight design (350 g) guarantees excellent maneuverability in the field.

Design and Advanced Technology

• Specialized Micro Aperture: Reduced measurement aperture of 2*3 mm for small samples, curved parts, or hard-to-reach components.

• 60° Angle Geometry: Universal standard for the precise evaluation of semi-gloss surfaces and various coatings.

• Multiple Measurement Modes: Basic mode, statistical, continuous (to assess uniformity over large areas), and QC mode assisted by software.

• Capacitive Touchscreen: 3.5-inch color TFT screen with a user-friendly interface that displays up to 5 sets of data simultaneously for comparison.

• GQC6 Software for PC: Connection via USB/RS-232 for expanded functions, advanced analysis, and quality report printing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is the data storage capacity of the device? It allows saving up to 1000 records in basic mode, 5000 in statistical mode, and 5000 in continuous mode.

• What measurement range and speed does the gloss meter offer? It measures in a range of 0 to 1000 GU with an ultra-fast reading time of just 0.5 seconds.

• What accessories are included with the instrument supply? It includes a power adapter, USB cable, user manual, CD with GQC6 software, and standard calibration plate.

Key Advantages:

• High Precision and Repeatability: Complies with the first-class JJG696 standard with a repeatability of ±0.1 GU (in range 0-10 GU) and ±0.2% GU (in range 100-1000 GU).

• Extended Autonomy: 3.7V / 3200 mAh lithium-ion battery that offers more than 10,000 continuous reading cycles in 8 hours.

• Portability and Lightness: Ergonomic design weighing 350 g that facilitates continuous measurements without operator fatigue.

Disadvantages / Considerations:

• Single Angle: As it is a device dedicated exclusively to 60°, it is optimized for semi-gloss finishes (for extreme gloss or deep matte, 20° or 85° are recommended).

• Plate Maintenance: The calibration plate must be kept completely clean and free of scratches to ensure valid metrological readings.

Product Use in the Field and Recommendations

• Ideal Applications: Inspection of automotive paint, industrial coatings, ceramic tiles, plastics, wood products, printing inks, and metal hardware.

• Recommended Maintenance: Store the device in its case and gently clean the optical port and calibration plate with special cloths that do not leave residues.

• Operation Recommendation: Use the continuous mode to slide the meter over large sheets or continuous parts to verify the uniformity of the coating.
