Recording of measured values and data processing
Fig. 8:
Measuring point determination of the VMS4400 CV
The measurement process is activated via the trigger signal.
The two 2D LiDAR sensors mounted below and above the conveying equipment span
a two-dimensional measuring range and perform a non-contact scan of the surface
of the object on the conveying equipment.
The 2D LiDAR sensors transmit the acquired measurement points to the dimensioning
controller.
Fig. 9:
3D model generation in the dimensioning controller
There, a spatial model is created taking into consideration the detected conveyor
speed and the specific position of the object on the conveying equipment.
The dimensioning controller calculates the volume of the smallest cuboid that
fully encloses the object and uses this to derive the length, width and height.
