TS7600 Spectrophotometer
Product Overview
TS7600 Spectrophotometer | D/8, SCI/SCE and Color Quality Control
TS7600 spectrophotometer uses D/8 geometry and supports SCI/SCE measurement, UV-included / UV-excluded measurement, a full-spectrum combined LED source, dual optical paths and a silicon photodiode array for applications requiring spectral reflectance, color data and quality-control traceability.
The TS7600 can be used in plastics, coatings, inks, textiles and dyeing, printing, ceramics, and electronic materials for Lab color data and ΔE difference assessment, incoming inspection, R&D comparison and process quality control. Selection should be confirmed against sample size, surface condition, measurement area, gloss, fluorescence conditions and internal QC procedures.
Key Features
TS7600 spectrophotometer features
Designed for SCI/SCE comparison, UV condition evaluation, spectral data measurement, data storage and color quality management.
D/8 geometry
Uses D/8 geometry and meets relevant measurement conditions in CIE No.15, GB/T 3978, GB 2893, GB/T 18833, ISO 7724-1, ASTM E1164 and DIN 5033 Teil 7 for color QC and R&D comparison.
Full-spectrum LED source and UV conditions
The long-life, low-power combined full-spectrum LED source supports UV-included / UV-excluded measurement to help evaluate color differences in fluorescent or optical-brightener-containing samples.
Dual optical paths and SCI/SCE spectra
The dual optical path system supports spectral measurement in the visible range and can measure sample SCI and SCE spectra simultaneously, helping compare how surface gloss, texture or specular reflection affects color assessment.
Spectral data and Lab color data
Measures sample spectra and Lab color data for formulation, batch comparison, supply-chain acceptance and color communication. Final decisions should follow internal acceptance criteria and QC procedures.
3.5-inch touchscreen and hardware
Equipped with a 3.5-inch TFT color display, capacitive touchscreen, 1000-line blazed grating and a silicon photodiode array detector with a large photosensitive area for convenient operation and data viewing.
USB and Bluetooth communication
Supports USB and Bluetooth for data transfer and management in field inspection, laboratory workflows or QC reporting. Available functions should be confirmed for the supplied hardware and software versions.
Standard white tile
Includes a standard white tile for routine calibration and measurement workflows. Storage and calibration should follow the manufacturer’s procedures.
Large data storage
Stores more than 30,000 measurement records, supporting batch tracking, incoming inspection records and long-term QC data management.
Multiple illuminants, color spaces and indices
Supports 2° / 10° standard observer angles, multiple illuminant modes, color spaces and colorimetric indices aligned with multiple standards for different industry workflows.
Camera viewfinder and positioning plate
Camera viewing and a positioning plate help operators confirm measurement location and reduce variation caused by sample-position shifts.
PC software expansion
Optional PC software can support color-data management, color-difference comparison and report organization for incoming inspection, batch comparison and process QC. Software functions, export formats and data-management items should be confirmed for the supplied version.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the TS7600
Review these points before introducing the TS7600 into D/8, SCI/SCE, UV and color-QC workflows.
What samples and industries is the TS7600 suitable for?
It can be considered for plastics, coatings, inks, textile dyeing, printing, ceramics, electronic materials and laboratory R&D/QC. Confirm suitability based on sample size, surface condition, measurement area and QC workflow.
What are the TS7600 UV conditions used for?
UV-included / UV-excluded measurement can help evaluate color differences in fluorescent or optical-brightener-containing samples under different UV conditions. For fluorescent materials, textiles, paper or special coatings, confirm customer acceptance conditions and measurement standards first.
What is the purpose of SCI/SCE measurement?
SCI/SCE measurement helps compare color data with and without the effect of surface specular reflection. For glossy, matte, coated, textured or otherwise different surfaces, confirm whether SCI, SCE or both must be recorded under the acceptance requirements.
How is the TS7600 different from a basic colorimeter?
A basic colorimeter is often used for quick color-difference checks. The TS7600 is a spectrophotometer that can provide spectral reflectance, Lab color data, ΔE assessment and multiple colorimetric indices for R&D, supply-chain acceptance and QC traceability.
How should I choose between the TS7600 and TS7700?
For D/8, SCI/SCE, UV conditions and general color-QC traceability, evaluate the TS7600. If you need explicit MAV / SAV dual-aperture switching and different measurement areas, compare the TS7700. Base the final choice on the samples and inspection purpose.
What information should be provided before implementing the TS7600?
Provide sample material and dimensions, measurement spot size, surface gloss, texture or curvature, fluorescence or optical brighteners, the color-difference formula, observer illuminant, acceptance limits, SCI/SCE or UV requirements, and data-retention and reporting needs.
Pre-deployment checks
For fluorescent or brightened samples, small areas, curved or textured surfaces, gloss differences or multiple suppliers, provide sample details, inspection purpose and internal criteria, then confirm the aperture, UV conditions, SCI/SCE settings and data-management approach for the TS7600.
