The CM-17d is Konica Minolta's first portable instrument that includes an electronic viewfinder, facilitating precise positioning on samples that would typically be considered difficult; the CM-16d has a reduced feature set and a compelling price/performance ratio. These devices excel at measuring small samples and those with curved or patterned surfaces, an ideal solution for the colour measurement requirements in many environments.

These instruments are developed to help our customers to maximise the benefits of digital colour data in quality control, production, or R&D in various fields, including automobiles, tech, cosmetics, paints, plastics, construction materials, and textiles.

    1. User centred designThe CM-17d is designed to provide a simple, user
       experience. Its ergonomically designed grip is easy to hold, developed
       for one-handed operation. A camera viewfinder, facilitates positioning
       for accurate measurements and operator efficiency. The modern user
       interface and display ensure that the instrument is easy to use for
       everyday tasks or training new operators. Wireless connection via
       optional wireless LAN and Bluetooth module enables the operator to work
       efficiently whatever sample or environment.
    2. Improved accuracy while maintaining data compatibilityThe CM-17d offers
       improved Inter-Instrument Agreement and Repeatability, while maintaining
       data compatibility with the CM-700d. The measurement time has been
       reduced by about 30% from the previous model.
    3. Daily efficiency and reliability1. Charging CradleThe charging cradle has
       a built in zero-calibration box and white calibration cap storage,
       ensuring that the device is always ready to use and stored both neatly &
       safely.2. Wavelength compensation functionThe CM-17d is equipped with
       Konica Minolta's Wavelength Analysis & Adjustment (WAA) function, which
       compensates for wavelength deviations, that could be caused by impact
       during use, changes in ambient temperature etc. This provides added
       confidence and certainty for measured data all year round.3. Colour data
       management using SpectraMagic(TM) NX2Connection to the optional
       SpectraMagic(TM) NX2 colour management software enables digital colour
       data storage, analysis and communication using a choice of industry
       standard colour indices. The new QC template function helps project
       owners to control the parameters for measurement and communication with
       colleagues & supply chain partners.
