Working Principle – CSN840.3

CSN840.3 is based on a laser range finder creating a 3D image

Advanced dimensioning software reporting positions, shape and dimensions of all objects.

The CSN840.3 reports the smallest enclosing rectangle of the measured object

Working Principle – OCTO™ Static (CSM)

AMS: Data collection and alibi storageCollects data from dimensioner, barcode reader and scale, and merges the pallet with the correct barcode.

Option to store collected data in approved alibi memory

CSM: User-interface Presentation of information and storage in customer required formats.
