2 Description
2.1 General
The Volume measuring system zippcube is use
• to measure the length, width and height of an object.
• to calculate the volume of the bounding box (determining the smallest
possible packaging).
• to determine the object weight and the volume weight.
The data that is determined can be used to improve the use of space (storage
or transportation location). At the same time, the system optimizes packaging,
storage and despatch. The data that is collected can be transferred to a com-
puter system.
2.2 Set-up

2.3 Measuring principle
Under the glass plate, four load cells are installed in the corners. The load cells
record the load on the glass plate and transfer it to the industrial PC. The sys-
tem shows the object weight and the volume weight on the display of the
industrial PC.
During the movement of the measurement port, a light grid system scans the
package and, while doing this, determines the associated volume and the
resulting volume weight.
In the measurement port, there is one light-emitting bar on the left-hand side of
the glass plate and at the bottom below it. On the right-hand side and at the
top, there is the receiver bar opposite the transmitter.
An object that is placed on the glass plate interrupts the light beam and the
opposite receiver area does not receive a light signal. The object edge is the
transition from the end of light entrance to the start of the dark area.
Notes
• It is not possible to measure transparent objects.
• Avoid direct light irradiation (in particular in the receiver area).
• The glass plate must be clean and undamaged.
• Always use Perspex screen to avoid scratches on the glass plate
• Place the measurement objects on carefully.
• Nothing must interrupt the light beams except for the measurement object.

2.4 Industrial PC
The Bosche 15-inch industrial PC is used as the display unit. You operate the
industrial PC using a touchscreen.
The industrial PC has the following interfaces:
• two USB 2.0 ports
• one Ethernet LAN port
• two wifi antennas
A windows operating system is installed to operate the volume measuring sys-
tem. A weighing software is required.
2.5 Measurement value output
The main page of the optional VolumeScannerProfessional software display-
sall the relevant measured values of the measurement object (the weight,
thevolume weight, the length, width, height and volume). In addition, the sys-
tem saves this data.
The VolumeScannerProfessional software either outputs the saved data as a.
CSV file or transfers it directly to a database.
2.6 Optional equipment
Note
The weighing software used is described in a separate operating manual.
Note
If you use different weighing software, output of measured values is described
in its manual.
Note
All the equipment and enhancements that are available as options are
described in Chapter 5, “Optional Equipment”.

3.1 Control
When the device is delivered, check the packaging, the device and possible
accessories for visible damages.
3.2 Packaging and disposal
Keep all parts of the original packaging for a possible return.
Dispose of the packaging and the display according to the national and/or local
regulations by law valid on the installation site. Separately dispose of a
defective battery according to the national and local regulations on
environmental protection and recycling.
Do not treat a battery as standard waste. Please dispose of via a waste
management company.
Note
Only use the original packaging, if the display is returned.

3.3 Installation and connection
Keep the device clean and do not expose to an environment influencing the
display accuracy.
3.3.1 Set-up work
Step 1 Put the volume and weight measurement system tilt-free on an even,
level surface and align it exactly.
Step 2 Release/remove all the transport retainers (e.g. cable ties).
Danger
The volume measuring system weighs approximately 110 kg. Several
people are needed to transport it. If you want to lift and transport the
volume measuring system using lifting equipment, you can put carrying
loops under the system, these must not slip off.
Pay attention to the centre of gravity.
Protect against draught! Protect against heat,
sun and frost!
Protect against tilting a
and vibration!
Avoid astable
voltage sources!
Avoid humidity!Keep the unit clean

3.4 Connection
As-standard, the measured data is saved on the industrial PC's hard drive. If
you want to use the measured data in a different environment, you need
dataconnections to transfer the measured data.
Data connections: Wifi connection (1), network port (2) or a USB port (3).
Step 1 If necessary, establish a data transfer connection.
Standalone use = Plug in the LAN plug in the network port or insert
the USB plug.
Mobile use = Establish a wifi connection when starting for the first
time..
Step 2 Plug in the volume and weight measurement system to the mains
(if operating without a rechargeable battery = standalone use).
Step 3 Insert the charged batteries (optional equipment for mobile use, for
example).
Note
Ensure that a 230 V AC voltage supply is available on the installation site
(unless operation with rechargeable batteries is intended).

3.5 Transportation positions
3.5.1 Despatch
If you need to despatch the volume and weight measurement system (e.g. to
the manufacturer for repairs), proceed as follows:
Step 1 Put the display into the transport position (parallel to the measure-
ment port).
Step 2 Push the measurement port to the display.
Step 3 Secure the position of the measurement port (using cable ties, for
example).
Step 4 Pack the volume and weight measurement system appropriately and
securely to prevent damage in transit.

3.5.2 Transportation using the optional transport trolley
Using the optional trolley, you can use the volume and weight measurement-
system on a mobile basis.
Step 1 Remove any measurement objects that may still be on the device
and put the display in the transport position (parallel to the measure-
ment port).
Step 2 Release the two brakes on the casters of the transport trolley.
Step 3 Carefully push the transport trolley to the new measuring location.
Step 4 There, secure the transport trolley by applying the two brakes again.
Attention
The display must not protrude beyond the outer edges of the volume and
weight measurement system. Danger of damage in transit.
