Accurate Measurement and configuration of Automotive Exterior Lighting


Photometers and colorimeters for headlamps and exterior lighting

Automotive exterior lighting has developed significantly in recent years with far greater options provided to brands for the quality, responsiveness, and aesthetics of products. Specifying, designing, producing, and approving both functional and effect lighting requires next generation solutions for measurement in development, production, and quality control. Ultimately, external lighting must first and foremost, deliver against safety requirements for headlights, sidelights, fog lights, indicators, brake, and taillights.
 
A ProMetric® system allows users to inspect headlamps and taillights for luminance and colour uniformity, and for luminous intensity distribution to evaluate individual LED performance and identify failures. The system captures the illumination distribution in a single measurement, then analyses multiple criteria using the PM-HL™ headlamp evaluation module, designed specifically for headlamp evaluation.   
 
Konica Minolta and group company Radiant Vision Systems produce a range of solutions for measuring lighting and lighting assemblies in development or production environments to ensure that the lighting can be traceably measured to meet standards and deliver a high-quality user experience.


Solutions will ensure control of brightness, uniformity, and colour of all exterior lighting assemblies.

 
Traceable and trusted solutions for digital luminance data can greatly expedite the process of development, production, and QC testing. Our expert teams can help to implement a system that allows all parties, from equipment manufacturer through to QC, to work in a more streamlined and consistent way. Experience shows that a data driven approach allows supply chains to build relationships based on quality and consistency, reducing subjectivity, and simplifying specification and approval.

Offering customers a global network of sales, support, and expertise, Konica Minolta can deliver tested solutions to customers in the automotive industry. Our network of authorised service facilities provides ongoing maintenance and calibration of devices to minimise downtime and ensure that systems remain traceable throughout their working life.

Applications

Applications

Measurement of Pastes, Powders, Granules samples

Measuring areas with 30, 8 and 3 mm allow perfect adaption to the sample size. Pastes, powders, or granules can easily be measured with the optional petri-dish set. The top-port concept allows easy sample positioning: simply place the sample on the measuring port and press the measurement button.

Measurement with CM-26dG

High-precision technology allows users to accurately evaluate colour attributes of various samples, including solids, liquids, powders, pastes, and granules, and identify any inconsistencies immediately in a more efficient and streamlined process. In addition to meeting colour quality standards and consumer expectations, waste is reduced and profits are increased.
