FLUXDATA ANNOUNCED NEW
SPECTROPHOTOMETER:
SPECTRANOVA TM D8-M2, OFFERING HIGH-
ACCURACY NON-CONTACT COLOR
MEASUREMENTS
FluxData Inc., an international leader in
industrial in-line color process control
and measurement, announced the formal
release of a new color measurement
system designed for use in challenging
industrial settings. The new SpectraNova™
D8-M2 is designed from the ground up
with reliability and efficiency in mind. The
measurement head is sealed to protect
the integrating sphere from the factory
environment using a sapphire window,
which is easily cleanable in the field.
Measurements are reported instantly to
your software through a machine-to-
machine interface, ensuring accuracy and
eliminating the need for a human operator.
FluxData’s SpectraNova™ D8-M2 offers
seamless integration with existing systems
and manufacturing lines and results in
dramatic reductions in costs and yield

improvements. FluxData offers
such benefits to the user by
assuring that the SpectraNova™
D8-M2, which is designed for
industrial applications, is non-
contact, rapid, compact and
correlates with QC laboratory
systems. FluxData’s latest product, which
includes 8° diffuse geometry, offers
reflectance and CIE colorimetric data
output, rapid measurement cycles of
less than 150 milliseconds, and requires
minimal maintenance.
“The robust nature of this product allows
for it to be placed within a production line,
made up of existing machinery, and do its
job both rapidly and reliably”
-Pano Spiliotis, CEO of FluxData Inc.
With the head weighing 0.36 kg (0.80 lbs.)
and the system weighing 2.29 kg (5.05 lbs.),
as well as the measurement head’s small
footprint, the SpectraNova™ D8-M2 has the
potential to be placed virtually anywhere
on a production line, with the supporting
electronics housed in a separate enclosure.
