CM-3600A
High-precision spectrophotometer with ISO compliant gloss sensor and stability check

The CM-36dG Spectrophotometer is a high-precision and high-reliability bench-top instrument capable of measuring colour either in reflectance or transmittance, ideally suited to a wide range of applications such as Plastics, Paints, Ceramics, Chemicals etc.
For the first time ever, Konica Minolta Sensing has integrated an ISO 2813 compliant 60° gloss sensor inside a benchtop spectrophotometer, to simultaneously measure Colour and Gloss. As both values are measured and reported together operator errors are reduced, the Quality Control workflow can be streamlined and equipment and maintenance costs saved.
The CM-36dG utilizes the patented and proven Numerical UV Control (NUVC), unsurpassed technology for UV adjustments when measuring samples that contain optical brighteners such as pulp, paper, textiles or chemicals.
Several new features have been included to improve the user experience, status LEDs provide clear visual feedback, a camera preview system for sample positioning and reporting, and versatile port alignment allowing the device to be used horizontally or rotated 90° to measure e.g. powdery materials in “Top-port” style.
Konica Minolta’s patented technologies assure the highest accuracy and repeatability levels for this class of instrument. Konica Minolta’s renowned accuracy and stability is supported by our latest innovation “Wavelength Analysis and Adjustment” (WAA) to give customers the ability to check and adjust the CM-36dG during calibration, assuring that the instrument is in perfect condition.
