X-Rite Now Offers TeleFlash™ System for Automatic Online Color Measurement

04-Jul-2001

X-Rite, Incorporated (NASDAQ/NMS:XRIT), a leading global provider of technology solutions that measure color, light and shape, now offers new quality control options for color measurement through TeleFlash non-contact spectrophotometers. Available for immediate shipment, TeleFlash is manufactured by Berlin, Germany-based Optronik GmbH, which X-Rite, Incorporated acquired in 2000.

The TeleFlash system provides quality assurance professionals with automatic online color measurement of products manufactured on a running production line or in a laboratory. The system generates continuous color quality reporting, with monitor screens displaying deviations of color quality – flagging production and quality assurance managers with visual or acoustic warnings to avoid production waste for out-of-tolerance color. Following the measurement of each product batch, color measurement data is either stored and compiled into a printed report or processed for automatic network transmission.

“TeleFlash combines the ingenuity of non-touch, automated color measurement with the long-standing quality hallmarked by X-Rite,” said Bill Kober, sales director for X-Rite, Incorporated. “From the production line to the laboratory, this system performs with unprecedented accuracy and flexibility.”

An array of applications Using international quality standards, TeleFlash measures and evaluates color deviation in even the most textured, finely patterned or glossy samples – such as extruded vinyl, synthetic film, coil coating, bulk products, plastic granules, food pigments, liquids, textiles, carpeting, paper, glass and ceramics.

TeleFlash spectrophotometers are available in three system configurations: TeleFlash 130, TeleFlash 445 and TeleFlash Compact. Product details include:

1.TeleFlash 130 with 0°/0° geometry, 16.5”-59.1” measuring distance from sample, 4” illumination/2.4”-5.1” measuring area and a weight of 33 pounds 2.TeleFlash 445 with 45°/0° geometry, 2”-2.4” measuring distance from sample, 1.2” illumination/1.2” measuring area and a weight of 26.5 pounds 3.TeleFlash Compact with 0°/0° geometry, 16.5”-59.1” measuring distance from sample, 4” illumination/2.4”-5.1” measuring area and a weight of 21 pounds

TeleFlash in the field The TeleFlash system provides non-contact, non-destructive color measurement throughout the production process. Instead of stopping the production line to take a sample to the quality lab for color testing, quality assurance managers can use the TeleFlash system for continuous, online color measurement that saves manufacturing time and cost.

Mounted on a traversing beam, TeleFlash measures color at several random points on a sample moving through a production line, highlighting any deviations in color through continuous quality reports that include data for adjusting color online automatically.

Another key feature is the TeleFlash system’s large measurement distance – up to five feet – maximizing the flexibility in mounting the system on the production line without interfering with the product. The system also tolerates small variations within the measuring distance from system to sample.

TeleFlash’s thermochromism compensation also measures color of a product that is still warm and changing in color. The result is a minimal waiting period typically required for the product to cool (or cure) and stabilize for an accurate color measurement.

Building TeleFlash, customer by customer X-Rite will tailor each TeleFlash system by adding hardware and software features that suit specific production environments and manufacturing needs of each customer.
