Recording of measured values and data processing

•
The measurement process is activated by the cross-belt signal.
•
The two LiDAR sensors span a two-dimensional measuring range and perform a non-
contact scan of the surface of the object on the cross belt conveying equipment.
•
They cyclically transmit the detected measuring points to the SIM2000-2 Prime
controller for further processing.

•
When the detected conveyor speed and the specific position of the object on the belt
are factored in, a spatial model is created.
•
The SIM200-2 Prime controller calculates the length, width and height of the smallest
rectangular box that fully encloses the object. These dimension values can be used to
calculate the volume of the rectangle.
•
In billing-related operation, the measurement results of the VMS5200-x MID are shown
on a separate LFT display.
