3.9 System requirements for legal for trade operation
To ensure the object dimensions are measured in a consistent and reproducible manner
and with maximum accuracy, the object limitations and ambient condition described in
the following sections must be taken into consideration.
Any conditions outside the limits will lead to problems or a reduction in measurement
accuracy.
3.9.1 Requirements on the ambient conditions
The operation site of the multi-dimensional measurement system must have the following
features:
• Closed or covered room
• Flat and firm surface
• Low-vibration environment
• Protected from wind and free of drafts
• Maximum ambient light: 2000 Lux
• No direct sunlight
• Clean and dry (air humidity 95%, non-condensing)
• Room temperature of -10 °C to 50 °C
Regardless of the space required for the components, there must be enough space at the
operation site for the following activities:
• Reading the measurement results off the LFT display
• Opening the cabinet door completely
• Cleaning, maintenance, and service
3.9.2 Requirements on the conveying equipment
The VMS4100/5100 multi-dimensional measurement system is designed for flat
conveying systems.
• The objects must not slip during the measurement process. Slippage-free conveying
must be ensured.
• The measuring objects must not be exposed to any vibrations during measurement.
• Relative movements of the measuring objects are not permitted during measurement.
• The conveyor speed must be within the permissible speed range of 0.1 m/s to 3.0 m/s.
• The conveyor belts must be synchronized and running at the same belt speed.
• Start/stop operation is permitted.
NOTE
• Any relative movement of an object to the conveyor belt will result in distorted
measurement results.
• If the objects rotate, vibrate, roll, or slip on the conveyor belt and on uneven
conveying surfaces, accuracy may be impaired.
