CM-2600d
The Konica Minolta CM-2600d is a portable d/8° spectrophotometer engineered for high-precision color measurement in demanding industrial environments. The CM-2600d spectrophotometer features a double-beam optical system with dual pulsed xenon lamps, 400-pixel silicon photodiode array sensor, and both SCI and SCE measurement modes for complete color characterization. With its wide spectral range (360 to 740 nm), excellent inter-instrument agreement, and flexible measurement apertures (Φ25mm, Φ8mm, Φ3mm), the CM-2600d handles everything from large textured surfaces to tiny curved components. USB connectivity and large data memory make it suitable for production floor color quality control. The CM-2600d is compatible with SpectraMagic NX software for comprehensive color analysis, reporting, and SPC monitoring.

Measurement Principle of the CM-2600d Spectrophotometer
The CM-2600d uses a d/8° integrating sphere with a 52mm Spectralon-coated interior. Dual pulsed xenon lamps provide the illumination, and a 400-pixel photodiode array with diffraction grating captures the full visible spectrum with high resolution. The double-beam optical design references each measurement against the sphere wall, ensuring long-term measurement stability. SCI/SCE switching is achieved with a motorized specular trap, providing both total and diffuse reflectance data.
Applications of the CM-2600d Spectrophotometer
The CM-2600d with its multiple aperture options serves diverse measurement needs:
Automotive Coatings
Body panels, bumpers, mirrors, and trim components with different surface textures.
Building Materials
Large-area measurement of tiles, laminates, stone, and siding with the Φ25mm aperture.
Small Parts
Precise measurement of small molded parts, buttons, fasteners with the Φ3mm aperture.
Q: What apertures are available for the CM-2600d?
A: The CM-2600d supports three measurement areas: Φ25mm (LAV), Φ8mm (MAV), and Φ3mm (SAV) for maximum flexibility across sample sizes.
Q: Is the CM-2600d still supported?
A: Yes, Konica Minolta continues to support the CM-2600d with calibration services and SpectraMagic NX software updates.
