4.2 Object rotation angle, object length and width
Object rotation angle:
The object rotation angle determined by the CMS 700i is the angle between the longitudinal edge of
the measuring object and the vector of the conveying direction.
The angle can take values between -45° and +45°. When the rotation angle of 45° is exceeded the
assignment of length and width changes and the smaller value with alternate sign is sent out, see
Figure 4.
Object length:
The object length or length is defined as the side of the object in top view that is at an angle of less
than 45 degrees to the conveying direction (= longitudinal direction).
Object width:
In the top view, the side adjacent to the object length is the object width.
