FTS7000 Applications
Different Sample Sizes and Small Measurement Areas
The five apertures support samples of different sizes, small areas, localized regions and curved surfaces. Select according to sample dimensions and measurement point.
Fluorescent Materials and UV Conditions
The UV source helps evaluate fluorescent or UV-sensitive materials, including optical brighteners, special coatings, paper whiteness and textiles.
Supply-Chain Acceptance and Standard Color Management
Use FTS7000 to establish standard colors, compare batches, accept incoming materials and manage color data across sites. Align the color-difference formula, observer illuminant and SCI/SCE condition with customer acceptance criteria.
R&D Comparison and Process QC
For workflows using spectral data, Lab values and ΔE evaluation with electronic plastics, paints and inks, textiles, printing, ceramics and packaging.
FTS7000 Feature Details
Array Sensor and Spectral Measurement
Manufacturer materials state that FTS7000 uses a large-area dual-row 40-element photodiode array sensor for spectral data acquisition, color evaluation and batch comparison. Results depend on the sample, calibration and measurement procedure.
Multi-Platform Color Data Management
Depending on the supplied version, HarmonyOS, Android, iOS, WeChat Mini Program or Windows software may be available for color-data management, difference comparison and report export, supporting supplier-batch comparison, internal color standards and QC traceability.
D/8 Geometry and SCI/SCE Measurement
D/8 geometry supports reflected-color measurement. SCI/SCE compare color with or without specular reflection. Confirm the measurement condition in your internal standard for glossy, matte, coated or textured samples.
Full-Spectrum LED and UV Sources
Full-spectrum LED and UV sources support evaluation of ordinary reflected color, fluorescent materials, optical brighteners and special coatings. Choose UV-included or UV-excluded measurement for the objective, sample and customer requirements.
Five-Aperture Configuration
FTS7000 has 8 mm flat and pointed, 4 mm flat and pointed, and a miniature 1 × 3 mm aperture. Evaluate for large or small areas, curved surfaces, narrow sections or localized points. Confirm the aperture for the actual sample.
CCD Camera Positioning
The built-in camera provides a live view of the measurement area so the operator can check whether the target is centered. For localized color patches, printed patterns, small areas or specified points, confirm both aperture and positioning method.
Black-and-White Calibration Tube
Depending on the supplied version, non-contact automatic calibration and a dedicated white tile may be available to support consistent daily measurements. Follow manufacturer guidance and QC procedures for tile care, cleaning and calibration frequency.
Base and White-Tile Protection
The base helps store the instrument and protect the white tile, reducing contamination that may affect daily calibration and measurement stability. Follow manufacturer instructions and site QC procedures.
Multiple Color Spaces and Observer Illuminants
Available evaluations may include CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, CIE LUV, s-RGB, HunterLab, DIN Lab99 and Munsell, with D65, A, C, D50, D55, D75, F-series and LED illuminants. Confirm availability for the instrument settings and software version.
Inter-Instrument Difference and Repeatability
Manufacturer materials describe inter-instrument and repeatability control. Evaluate multi-instrument comparison, cross-site color management and long-term QC against calibration, sample and measurement procedures.
How FTS7000 Compares with Other High-End Spectrophotometers
If five apertures, a UV source, CCD camera positioning, D/8 SCI/SCE and advanced color-data management are priorities, consider FTS7000 Spectrophotometer. For more apertures and special samples, compare Aurora Spectrophotometer; for four apertures, consider FTZ9 Spectrophotometer. Confirm selection based on sample size, measurement area, surface, inspection objective and QC procedure.
FTS7000 FAQs
Q1: Which samples and industries are suitable for FTS7000?
FTS7000 can be evaluated for electronic plastics, paints and inks, textile dyeing, printing, ceramics, packaging and R&D. For samples with small areas, curves, texture, gloss differences, fluorescence or varying sizes, provide sample details to confirm aperture and method.
Q2: How should I choose among FTS7000’s five apertures?
The 8 mm apertures suit samples with sufficient, relatively even measurement areas; 4 mm apertures can be evaluated for smaller or localized areas; the miniature 1 × 3 mm aperture is for narrow, curved or special points. Confirm selection by sample size, measurement area and repeatability needs.
Q3: Can FTS7000 evaluate fluorescent samples?
FTS7000 has a UV source for evaluating fluorescent or UV-sensitive materials. For optical brighteners, special coatings, paper whiteness or textiles, confirm whether UV-included or UV-excluded measurement is required by the applicable standard.
Q4: What is the purpose of SCI/SCE measurement on FTS7000?
SCI includes the specular reflection component; SCE excludes it for an appearance assessment closer to visual observation. For glossy, matte or coated samples and customer acceptance criteria, align whether to use SCI, SCE or both.
Q5: How does FTS7000 differ from a standard handheld colorimeter?
FTS7000 is a spectrophotometer that can provide spectral data, multiple color spaces and color-difference formulas, with multiple apertures, a UV source and SCI/SCE. For quick color-difference checks, consider a standard colorimeter; for supply-chain standards, R&D data or QC traceability, evaluate FTS7000.
Q6: What information should I provide before selecting FTS7000?
Provide the material, sample and measurement-point dimensions, surface, gloss or texture, fluorescence, color-difference formula, observer illuminant, customer acceptance criteria, SCI/SCE or UV needs, and record/report requirements.
