2.1
Intended use
The VMS4200-x / 5200-x MID multi-dimensional measurement system is used to
measure cubic and irregularly shaped objects on cross-belt sorting systems. The objects
to be measured must be dimensionally stable, opaque, and non-reflective.
The cross-belt conveyor system can be designed as a conventional single cross belt sorter
or as a double belt sorter (see also the explanations in section
on page 20 f.). The two LMS4x21 LiDAR sensors are mounted horizontally
above the cross belt sorter and, just like the VMS4200/5200 MID, typically rotated at an
angle of 45°. All components have been configured for use on cross-belt sorting systems.
The VMS4200-x / 5200-x MID determines the length, width and height. These
dimensional values can be used to calculate the volume of the smallest rectangular box
that fully encloses the object.
The measurement results can be transferred to the customer network via the data
interface of the SIM2000-2 Prime controller.
Using the optional object detection photoelectric sensor, it is also possible to measure
overhanging cubic objects.
The VMS5200-x MID multi-dimensional measurement system can be verified as legal for
trade and, after a successful MID conformity assessment, used for billing purposes.
NOTE!
Intended use also includes observance of this system description, in particular the
safety notes and repair and maintenance requirements as well as proper installation, in
particular for billing operation.
