VMS4200-x / 5200-x MID with object detection (optional)
In the system variant with additional object detection, the VMS4200-x / 5200-x MID
multi-dimensional measurement system also takes overhanging cubic objects into
account. This requires an additional object detection photoelectric sensor.
Objects projecting beyond the edge of the belt are detected by comparing the object
trigger with the cross-belt signal.
3.4.1
How object detection works
Fig. 17: Allowed overhangs
Legend
1
Allowed overhang of cubic objects
2
Not allowed: Overhang of irregularly shaped objects
3
Not allowed: The center of gravity of a cubic object lies outside the cross-
belt conveyor element
•
In the system variant with object detection, cubic elements overhanging any of the
four sides of the belt by typically 100 mm are taken into account.
•
To accommodate this, the measuring field is extended beyond the limits of the
cross-belt conveyor element.
•
The center of gravity of the object must lie on the cross-belt conveyor element.
•
Overhanging irregularly shaped objects are not permitted.
NOTE!
The VMS4200-x / 5200-x MID will otherwise deliver invalid measurement results.
In the case of the VMS5200-x MID, these are designated as NON-LFT.
