The SK2000 Hair Diameter Measurement Unit provides an accurate understanding of the basic characteristics of a hair’s outer diameter, which can then be used as feedback for other characterization.
This product was jointly developed by Shiseido Company and Kato Tech.
*Operation is done via touch panel.
Features
-
Chuck feature
Both ends of the hair are held by a chuck, which allows measurement to be performed without being influenced by external forces (such as wind).
Both ends are rotated synchronously to prevent the hair from twisting. -
Shape analysis
Sensors can be moved along the length of the hair, allowing for easy understanding of the hair’s shape length-wise.
-
Measurement of outer hair diameter
Data measurement at 360 points (1 degree per measurement point) around the hair’s circumference
2-point data measurement at the largest diameter (peak) and shortest diameter (bottom)
