Spectrophotometer CM-3630
PaperControl Software
Peace of mind for the pulp
and paper industry
Swift performance, reliable data
- everything under control
Production Control Module
PaperControl makes routine production control
much easier, faster, more comfortable and reliable
- in short: more professional. No more confusion
by mixing production control and general QC tests
as in conventional multi-purpose software.
PaperControl is all you need to control your pro-
duction line. All possible measurement parameter
settings are already preprogrammed – for quick
selection by the supervisor.
The production control module allows program-
ming and labelling for a large number of jobs.
Up to 9 different processes can be displayed in
easy-to-understand menus. Thus, the operator
gets valuable assistance in performing the most
commonly used measurement routines. The end
result is overall increased productivity.
The measurement data can be transferred to the
production control process system. This ensures
that specific test runs are being done under the
same conditions – providing consistent, reliable
results. And to make it even easier, all settings
and measurements of this Windows-based
software (Windows®95, Windows®98, and
Windows NT®4.0) are keyboard-controlled.
Automatic calibration
Calibration is performed automatically for every
conceivable combination of measurements in a
few seconds. This valuable feature saves time
and ensures reliable measurement data when
new routines or tests are selected.

paper industries´ needs.
Introducing Konica Minolta´s high-efficiency ISO
solution
for precise whiteness and color measurement

ISO standards
The CM-3630 ensures adherence to ISO optical
standards and a wide array of national standards
worldwide. It provides exact conformity with ISO
standards 2469 and 2470 for measuring ISO
brightness. With PaperControl software, bright-
ness, opacity, whiteness and yellowness indices
are calculated and displayed in accordance with
several international and national standards such
as: ISO, SCAN, DIN, TAPPI, CPPA, and AFNOR.
Whiteness Measurements
To get correct measurement readings of paper
with Optical Brightening Agents, the amount of
UV radiation must be controlled and adjusted.
PaperControl offers several methods to adjust the
UV radiation.To prevent the triplet effect exhibited
by some special Optical Brightening Agents, the
CM-3630 allows you to switch the light source
between full power and soft flash mode.
Measuring Color Difference
In addition to production control and whiteness
measurement, PaperControl also provides a Color
Difference module, which displays the measurement
readings as numerical data, spectral reflection
curves or color space plots.
Quick Opacity Measurement
Measuring opacity can be done in a matter of
seconds: Simply position the opacity jig on the
white side and measure. Then rotate the opacity
jig to the black side, measure again – that's it!
Patented* Numerical UV Control
Numerical UV Control (NUVC) makes calibration and
adjustments to whiteness and tint a swift and quick
procedure. In fact, the whole process is much faster
than current methods used in conventional instru-
ments. Since it's all done digitally, exact and reliable
results are assured. And with the total absence of
moving parts in the spectrophotometer's optical
system, it is absolutely robust and completely
maintenance-free! With patented NUVC, Konica Minolta
has turned the once time-consuming and error-prone
calibration process into a quick, accurate and relia-
ble procedure.
Data compatibility
The CM-3630´s numerical UV control system
combined with its user calibration option allows easy
adjustment of the instrument parameters to your
current measurement system. Such precision
guarantees that your brightness measurements will
perfectly correspond with the data you've collected
over the years.
*US Patent No 5,636,015.
