Standardized Color Management System

Automotive - Exterior: Surface quality / - Harmony: Uniform Color & Appearance /

Waviness Color Effect Gloss Mottling

Automotive - Exterior: Challenges -

  Various substrates and coating technologies   Body vs. Add-on parts - Online/off line painting

- /   Horizontal vs. Vertical

  Stable process to guarantee quality over time

Page 4, BYK-Gardner GmbH, BYK-mac Presentation

Standardized Quality Control Management is needed

•  Different people have different views on what is acceptable:

Paint shop <> QC department <> QC Customer <> Supplier <>

•  Weak color memory – no statistics possible! - •  You cannot control what you can’t measure! •  Predictability: What happens if I change something? •  Reliability: Supplier quality needs to be compared against objective

criteria to determine PASS – FAIL -

Effect Coatings 80% of todays automotive finishes are effect coatings

80%

• Pearlescent coatings result in a more spectacular color effect: Color Flop

:

• Metallic coatings accentuate the curved profile: Light – Dark Flop

-

• Effect finishes with special glitter effect (XirallicsTM)

Limitations of CIELAB System / CIELAB Measured values do not correlate with visual impression

•  Visual acceptability is based on ellipses not circles: Tolerances for hue are tighter than for chroma

•  Chromatic colors have larger tolerances than pastels or near neutrals

•  Size and shape of ellipse changes dependent on the hue: Acceptable color differences vary from color to color Green has larger tolerances than dark blue

•  Angular dependency of the acceptance values

All colors within one ellipse are perceived as the same color.

•  Tolerance is based on elliptical spacing Size and shape of tolerance ellipse

is calculated based on Standard location in the color space

ΔECMC – Color Difference Formula / Summary Better correlation to visual perception:

• Chromatic Colors: Larger visual tolerance ellipse ΔECMC smaller for chromatic colors than for achromatic colors

(ΔC* and ΔH* are weighted less) compared to Δ E*

Car schematics help to define sampling procedure

smart-chart Software: Organizer for BYK-mac Example: Color Harmony test procedure

•  Checkzone creation

•  Curvature per checkzone

•  Number of readings per checkzone

•  Definition of “Panel Matches”

•  Measurement Direction

BYK-mac Reliable Operation and Handling

•  Stable positioning due to 4 trigger pins on bottom plate 4

•  Sensitivity of pins can be adjusted to sample curvature

•  Curvature > 500 mm >500mm •  Measurement of sample temperature

Symbol Sample Curvature Example

I Flat Test Panel 4 Pins < 0.1 mm ) Low curvature Hood 3 Pins < 0.1 mm; 1 Pin < 0.3 mm O Medium curvature Bumper 3 Pins < 0.3 mm; 1 Pin < 0.9 mm o High curvature Mirror Housing 3 Pins < 0.6 mm; 1 Pin off

Off Pins deactivated, but it is ensured that no ambient light will enter aperture
