2 Safety information
2.1 Intended use
The VMS4200/5200 multi-dimensional measurement system (Multicontroller) is used
to measure cubic and irregularly-shaped objects on flat conveying systems in industrial
environments. The objects to be measured must be dimensionally stable, opaque, and
non-reflective.
The two 2D LMS4x21 LiDAR sensors are mounted horizontally above the conveying
technology and typically rotated at an angle of 45°.
The VMS4200/5200 (Multicontroller) determines the length, width and height. These
dimensional values can be used to calculate the volume of the smallest rectangular box
that fully encloses the object.
The measurement results can be transferred to the customer network via the data
interface of the SIM2000 system controller.
The VMS5200 multi-dimensional measurement system (Multicontroller) can be verified
as legal for trade and, after a successful MID conformity assessment, used for billing
purposes.
NOTE! Intended use also includes observance of this system description, in particular the
safety notes and repair and maintenance requirements as well as proper installation, in
particular for billing operation.
