Object requirements
•
Dimensionally stable (not deformable)
•
Opaque surface (not transparent)
•
Non-reflective surface (no shiny or reflective surface)
The remission of the objects must be between 10% and max. 200%.
NOTE!
Black objects with extremely low remission (< 10%) cannot be measured with high
accuracy.

Measuring range related restrictions in singulated mode on single cross belt sorts or
double belt sorters.
•
The minimum measuring range values for length, width and height must be equal to at
least
10 x scale interval d
.
Example: For an accuracy of 5 x 5 x 2 mm, the minimum object size is
50 mm / 50 mm / 20 mm (length x width x height).
•
The maximum measuring range values for length, width and height must be equal to at
least
15 x scale interval d
.
Measuring range related restrictions in synchronized mode on double belt sorters.
•
The minimum object size in terms of height is 10 x scale interval d.
Because of the belt gap present, a minimum object size of
n
x scale interval d
with
n x d ≥
3* belt gap
applies for the object length and width, in order to ensure that the
objects are stably guided over the gap.
Example: 68 mm x 3 = 204 mm
minimum length and width = 210 mm; but at least
150 mm if a different, e.g., smaller belt gap is chosen.
•
The maximum measuring range values for length, width and height must be equal to at
least
15 x scale interval d
.
