3.4 System requirements
To ensure the object dimensions are measured in a consistent and reproducible manner,
the object limitations and environmental conditions 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.
3.4.1 Requirements on the ambient conditions
The operation site of the VMS6200 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: 2,000 Lux
• No direct sunlight
• Clean and dry (air humidity 95%, non-condensing)
• Room temperature of 0 °C to 40 °C
Regardless of the space required for the components, there must be enough space at the
operation site for the following activities:
• Opening the cabinet door completely
• Cleaning, repair, and service
3.4.2 Requirements on the conveying equipment
• 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 segments must be synchronized and running at the same belt speed.
• Only forwards operation is allowed.
NOTE
• Any relative movement of an object on the conveying equipment will result in
distorted measurement results.
• If the objects rotate, vibrate, roll, or slip on the conveyor equipment and on uneven
conveying surfaces, accuracy may be impaired.
