k-Space Associates Inc. added new color measurement functionality to its line of glass inspection and defect detection tools. With the kSA Color Measurement tool, RGB values are calibrated to known color swatch standards. Color values (l*a*b*) can also be determined, and the tool provides an accurate measurement for absolute color values. The kSA color measurement tool is simple to set up and combines the company’s hardware and proprietary software to ensure both monochrome and color calibration.
"Users of our solar and glass inspection tools asked us for accurate color measurement capability," says Darryl Barlett, k-Space CEO. "They need to make sure every panel meets their color and tint needs. We built our new color measurement capability to complement our existing glass defect and glass break detection capabilities, all within the same inspection tool."
