     Objects are singulated by the customer.  The objects must pass the VMS4400 CV with a defined separation distance larger than the max. object height (distance between rear edge and leading edge).  The minimum distance must ensure that there is always only one object in the measuring range.
  • Page 19 The objects must not be touching * Otherwise the track and trace system will not deliver plausible measurement results. 8025816/V1-0/2020-07-06|SICK O P ER A T I NG I NS T R U C T I O NS | VMS4400 Contour Verification...

  • Page 20: Recording Of Measured Values And Data Processing

    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.
  • Page 21  The distance value between the recorded contour and the ideal contour of the enclosing cuboid determines the extent of the deformation.  The VMS4400 CV does not differentiate between dents and bulges. The change in dimension based on the volume of the smallest enclosing cuboid is interpreted simply as an object deformation.

     The weight, together with the bar code and the calculated volume, are transmitted for the purpose of controlling the goods and material flow.  The devices are connected to the VMS4400 CV via the system controller. Connection  The controller links the acquired identification and weight data with the dimensional values calculated by the VMS4400 CV.
