July 14, 2019 Off By Sebastian Reisig

X-Rite Inc and Pantone announced a new fixture that helps manufacturers measure and control color on small plastic parts, cups, bottles, tubes and other curved surfaces without damaging the sample.

The Cup and Cylinder Fixture works with the eXact and Ci6x Families of portable handheld devices to measure cylinder shapes and labels for a range of packaging, plastics and industrial applications. The new fixture solves specific quality control requirements from customers who need to measure color on final products using a non-destructive testing method. This helps reduce measurement time, streamline quality control processes, and supports sustainable manufacturing practices by reducing waste.
