Spectrophotometer CM-36d successor to CM-3600A
Another Yet Powerful Benchtop Spectrophotometer With State Of the Art Design
The CM-36d Spectrophotometer is a color measurement instrument manufactured by Konica Minolta. It is a versatile instrument designed to measure the color of a wide range of samples, including plastics, textiles, paints, coating, food, beverages, ink and printed materials.
Konica Minolta CM-36d spectrophotometer is a successor to CM-3600A. CM-36d is built with the same performance to its successor. CM-36d design is more compact, lighter in weight and with outstanding performance.
The CM-36d Spectrophotometer is a compact device that uses a diffuse/8° geometry to measure the color of samples. It has a spectral range of 360-740 nm and a spectral bandwidth of 10 nm.
The instrument is easy to use, with a simple and intuitive user interface. It also comes with a range of accessories, including a measuring head, white calibration plate, and carrying case, to ensure accurate and reliable measurements.
In addition, the CM-36d is equipped with new features to enhance usability. It features an easy-to-read status panel (Fig 1.0) , with the measuring button located on it, that displays the measurement status and condition settings to minimize operator error and improve work efficiency.

The sample viewing function (Fig 2.0), utilizing an integrated camera, is also available to ensure accurate and easy positioning of the measurement sample.
The CM-36d offers high stability and reliability with its optional WAA*² (Wavelength Analysis & Adjustment) function. This innovative function analyzes and adjusts any wavelength shift during each calibration, ensuring the instrument and its measurement remain stable and reliable over time. Measurement operation usability has also been greatly improved over the previous models which will lead to increase operator productivity.
Overall, the CM-36d Spectrophotometer is a high-quality color measurement instrument that is well-suited for a wide range of applications in industries such as printing, plastics, textiles, and paints. Contact us for demonstration
