3.7 Nominal operating conditions
The VMS4100 and VMS5100 multi-dimensional measurement systems can determine the
length, width, and height of the smallest enveloping cuboid for cubic measuring objects.
The VMS5100 is certified for the Singulated and Touching/Side-by-Side operating
modes in accordance with the Measuring Instruments Directive referenced in section 9.3
Compliance with EU directives.
3.7.1 Nominal value conditions for the “Singulated” and “Touching/Side-by-Side”operating modes (cubic only)
The following measuring ranges and scale values apply for the officially verifiable
