Linshang LS173 D/8 Touch Screen Colorimeter for Color Measurement Malaysia

Linshang LS173 D/8 Touch Screen Colorimeter for Color Measurement Malaysia

Accurate and consistent color is increasingly important in modern manufacturing. Whether you are checking plastic components, painted surfaces, printed materials, packaging, textiles or other colored products, relying only on visual inspection can lead to inconsistent results.

The Linshang LS173 D/8 Touch Screen Colorimeter provides a practical solution for objective color measurement and color difference inspection in Malaysia.

Designed for convenient quality control applications, the LS173 allows manufacturers, QC personnel, production teams and suppliers to evaluate color using measurable data instead of depending entirely on human visual judgement.

What Is the Linshang LS173 Colorimeter?

The Linshang LS173 is a portable color measurement instrument designed to measure the color of materials and compare color differences between samples.

One of its important features is its D/8 optical geometry, which is commonly used for industrial color measurement.

Instead of simply asking:

“Does this sample look the same color?”

Users can measure the sample and obtain numerical color information for more consistent evaluation.

This makes the LS173 particularly useful for:

Incoming material inspection

Production quality control

Supplier quality verification

Batch-to-batch color comparison

Finished product inspection

Sample approval

Color difference evaluation

Why Is D/8 Geometry Important?

D/8 refers to diffuse illumination with 8-degree viewing geometry.

This measurement geometry helps the instrument evaluate surface color under controlled optical conditions, reducing the variability associated with visual inspection.

For manufacturers handling products where color consistency matters, D/8 measurement provides a more standardized method for comparing samples.

This is especially useful when different operators, suppliers or production batches need to follow the same color acceptance criteria.

Color Difference and Delta E Measurement

One of the most useful applications of the Linshang LS173 is determining the difference between a standard color and a sample.

For example, a manufacturer may have an approved master sample.

A new production sample can then be measured and compared against that reference.

Instead of describing the result as:

Slightly darker

A little more yellow

Almost the same

Looks acceptable

the operator can use numerical color data and Delta E (ΔE) values to evaluate the difference.

This creates a much more objective QC process.

Why Visual Color Inspection Alone Can Be Difficult

Human vision is extremely useful, but visual color judgement can change according to many factors.

These may include:

Lighting conditions

Viewing angle

Surrounding colors

Operator experience

Eye fatigue

Differences between individual observers

Two inspectors may therefore have different opinions about the same product.

A colorimeter helps convert color into measurable data, making communication between production, QC, purchasing, suppliers and customers more consistent.

Touch Screen Operation

For routine industrial inspection, ease of operation is important.

The Linshang LS173 incorporates a touch screen interface that allows operators to access measurement information conveniently.

This can be especially useful in production environments where multiple samples need to be checked throughout the day.

A straightforward measurement process also makes it easier to introduce instrumental color inspection to companies that previously relied mainly on visual comparison.

Applications of Linshang LS173 in Malaysia

The LS173 can be considered for many industries where product appearance and color consistency are important.

Plastic Products

Plastic manufacturers can compare molded components, plastic sheets, housings and other products against approved reference samples.

Paint and Coating

Color measurement can help identify differences between painted or coated samples and the required standard.

Printing and Packaging

Printed labels, cartons, packaging materials and other printed products can be checked for color consistency between batches.

Consumer Products

Manufacturers producing colored components or finished products can use instrumental measurement as part of their QC procedure.

Manufacturing Quality Control

The LS173 can also be used as a general-purpose color inspection instrument for incoming materials, production samples and final products.

Incoming Quality Control – IQC

Color problems can begin before production.

If incoming raw materials or components vary significantly in color, the finished products may also become inconsistent.

The LS173 can be incorporated into Incoming Quality Control (IQC) procedures to compare incoming materials against an approved standard.

Detecting a color deviation before production may help reduce:

Rework

Rejection

Production delays

Customer complaints

Material waste

In-Process Quality Control

Color measurement does not have to be performed only after production is completed.

Manufacturers can conduct measurements during production and compare samples with the approved reference.

If the color begins moving outside the company's acceptable tolerance, corrective action can be considered earlier.

This makes color measurement part of process control, rather than simply a final inspection activity.

Outgoing Quality Control – OQC

Before products are delivered to customers, the LS173 can also support outgoing inspection.

By recording objective color measurements, QC teams can establish a clearer basis for deciding whether a production batch meets internal or customer requirements.

This is particularly useful for businesses where color consistency influences product appearance and customer acceptance.

Who Should Consider the Linshang LS173?

The LS173 may be suitable for:

Manufacturing companies

QC and QA departments

Plastic manufacturers

Paint and coating companies

Printing companies

Packaging manufacturers

Product development teams

Production engineers

Incoming inspection teams

Supplier quality teams

For companies still relying entirely on visual color comparison, introducing a portable colorimeter can be a practical first step toward more objective color quality control.
