• Expansion of the VMS4100/5100 multi-dimensional measurement system with
a reading station.
• Depending on the application, this station can consist of scanners, cameras,
application-specific trigger elements and/or a combination of these components
in any desired arrangement.
• Allows automated object identification using bar codes.
• Streamlines process automation.
NOTE! The multi-dimensional measurement system can also supply the focus
information for the connected camera systems.
• The devices are connected to the multi-dimensional measurement system via the
CAN bus of the SIM2000 system controller.
• The SIM2000 system controller links the acquired identification data with the
dimensional values calculated by the VMS4100/5100.
• Identification data and dimensional values are issued together to the higher-level
system.
