Axalta Irus Scan colorimeter for refinish paint

Axalta Irus Scan uses a patented angle to detect effect pigments. In this way, more precise measurements are achieved for popular achromatic effect colors. It is also the first colorimeter with integrated gloss measurement capabilities. They ensure accurate surface pre-treatment and the correct application of clear coat products. The high-resolution RGB camera measures color effects and is connected to Axalta's color management system, which uses a proprietary algorithm. This provides the best possible color match for the vehicle being repaired from the newly updated database of more than two million color formulas. The time required for color matching is reduced and the throughput of vehicles is increased accordingly and made faster and more efficient.

"We are very proud of Axalta Irus Scan and look forward to bringing it to market," said Troy Weaver, President Global Refinish at Axalta, a leading global supplier of liquid and powder coatings. "This new technology was developed specifically for refinishers. It uses a next-generation RGB camera and a proprietary color management system that provides a precise color formula for the vehicle being repaired. Axalta Irus Scan enhances the Axalta Irus digital color management process by providing productivity, accuracy and sustainability benefits to our bodyshop customers." Axalta Irus Scan has a user-friendly interface and a live view display for the RGB camera. It does not need to be operated by a trained refinisher, resulting in optimized workflows and increased productivity in the spray booth. Axalta Irus Scan provides precise measurement results in terms of color tone, gloss and effects. This increases efficiency and reduces the need for rework due to errors in color matching. This in turn leads to a reduction in material consumption and greater sustainability. All these features contribute to making Axalta Irus Scan an industry-leading innovation in colorimeters for the refinish market.
