As you can see, Konica Minolta's next-generation Colorimeter CR-10 Plus has been released. As a small CR series Colorimeter that handles a large number of tests in various situations every day, today, we will learn more about the internal structure and external design of CR-10 Plus, and explore the intentions and efforts behind product development, as well as during product development. Many trials and setbacks.
durable! durable! durable! Say important things three times.
If the instrument is not durable, it cannot be used for high-volume testing operations every day. And if the Tester is unavailable, the inspection cannot be performed, causing the plant to shut down. So Konica Minolta...
Focus on the control of the influence of the force exerted on the instrument on the instrument, and strengthen the parts of the optical components where the force is concentrated to protect the instrument.
A large number of simulation tests and verifications have been carried out to minimize the impact on the optical components and minimize the impact on the instrument when it is bumped or dropped.
Specifically designed to absorb forces applied to the product by the structure, housing and other parts of the product before it reaches the optics.
While striving to increase the durability of the product, the researchers have optimized the shape of the ribs to keep the weight of the instrument lighter.
Feel comfortable? That's right!
Konica Minolta believes that the ease with which an instrument is held and the ease with which a measurement button is pressed has a direct impact on the comfort of using the instrument, especially when the instrument is used for a long period of time or many measurements are taken throughout the day. Therefore, the designer incorporates this factor into the design from the customer's point of view.
Due to the limitation of the internal structure of the instrument, it is impossible to make a concave part on the fuselage, so the design only enlarges the upper part of the fuselage to make a groove for holding.
The finger rest area has been widened so that fingers can rest comfortably regardless of hand size or how the instrument is held.
Because it is often used by women with smaller hands, in order to improve the grip while minimizing the size, the size was only increased by 0.5mm during design.
This is a successful product!
That's right, that's how confident you are! Konica Minolta hopes that users will enjoy the convenience and ease brought by the CR-10 Plus.
Not only is it easier to operate, it is also more durable and comfortable.
Can be used in a variety of situations, such as when taking quick and easy on-site color measurements.
