• Expansion of the VMS4200/5200 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 automatic 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 SIM2000-2 Prime controller.
• The SIM2000-2 Prime controller links the acquired identification data with the
dimension values calculated by the VMS4200/5200.
• Identification data and dimension values are output together to the higher-level
system.
