3.3.3 Recording of measured values and data processing
Fig. 13: Measuring point determination of the VMS4200/5200
• The calculation of measurement values begins as soon as an object is transported
past the 2D LiDAR sensors on the equipment below.
• The two 2D LiDAR sensors span a two-dimensional measuring range and perform
a non-contact scan of the surface of the object on the cross belt conveying equipment.
• They cyclically transmit the detected measuring points to the SIM2000 system
controller for further processing.

• When the detected conveyor belt speed and the specific position of the object on the
belt are factored in, a spatial model is created.
• The system controller calculates the length, width, and height of the smallest
rectangular box that fully encloses the object. These dimensional values can be used
to calculate the volume of the rectangle.
