Product Description
Any scale with a TCP/IP or serial output can be used with the CubiScan 75,
creating a complete cubing and weighing system. Measurements are
quickly taken by placing an object on the scale (if a scale is being used),
scanning a barcode, or clicking the Measure buttonresulting in fast, easy,
and accurate data gathering.
The CubiScan 75 can be used for storage space planning, creating shipment
manifests, and obtaining detailed dimensioning data. It has an integrated
display that shows a color-depth map of the measured object or a live view
of the measurement area, as well as the measurement results. 3D cameras
measure to a precise increment of 0.2 inches.
