MA-T12: Fully Characterize Complex Material Finishes
The MA-T12 sets the gold standard for establishing the highest level of quality for effect and complex materials. With its 12 spectral measurement angles and color calibrated camera, the MA-T12 can fully characterize both effect and complex surface structured materials. Digital representation of a materials color and appearance can be modeled with SVBRDF (Spatially Varying Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function), creating an unparalleled digital workflow that ensures consistent product appearance across supply chains.

Camera Angles
The Most Advanced Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer
Using the on-board color calibrated RGB camera for imaging, the MA-T12 can quickly and accurately evaluate and verify the color, sparkle, coarseness and texture characteristics of complex finishes with the highest level of repeatability and reproducibility. When paired with EFX QC software, this instrument is the preferred choice for establishing the strictest color standards.
Quickly Resolve Non-Compliant Products
The MA-T12 offers modern touch screen navigation, live camera measurement previews, and on-screen pass-fail indication to quickly and easily analyze non-compliant products. The MA-T12 offers a centrally located aperture with positioning pins to ensure measurement stability on samples and automatic internal calibration to reduce the risk of inaccurate measurements.
One Measurement Device from Concept to Quality Control
When MA-T12 is paired with PANTORA, Industrial Designers can digitize complex material finishes during concept and design with a handheld device that accurately captures color and appearance characteristics and renders them in their PLM software. The supply chain can utilize the same device to ensure what they are producing is within tolerance, and final inspection can utilize the device to measure and capture all aspects of a final assembled goods or vehicle.
