A closer look
The 1200 AKL is ideal for use as a large static device that can determine the weight and cubic dimensions of large SKUs of almost any shape. In other words, the same concept of use as with the smaller mobile Cubiscan units. It can also be used to cube and weigh outgoing packed orders of palletised or larger freight items. In fact, both dual uses are possible with the one device!
The 1200-AKL is a large-scale static dimension scanning device that can work in conjunction with a heavy-capacity floor scale (or in a stand alone position when weight is not required). Its overhead-mounted sensor configuration provides a comprehensive view of the freight measurement area while allowing access from any direction. In certain cases (depending on location and facility characteristics) it can be ceiling-mounted, providing unobstructed access for the user and protection against equipment damage. The powerful and accurate sensors measure freight in any orientation and of virtually any shape, colour, or package material.
The 1200-AKL utilises advanced Class 1 infrared laser sensing technology that is safe for operators and freight. Two laser scanners are fixed to parallel guides that pass over the freight (normally taking five seconds). The system scans a three-dimensional measurement area without special illumination or contact. In its standard configuration, it is capable of measuring from 3.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 m LWH. Measurements resolution is 2 cm in length and width and 1 cm in height.
With a panel-mounted PC controller, touchscreen monitor, and integrated data collection software, the 1200-AKL can process multi-piece shipments (having parcels of the same or random sizes), initiate parcel tracking tasks, and prepare the collected dimensional and weight data to be transferred to the customer’s data processing system. An accessory high-resolution digital camera and a special software module can be integrated to allow for easy file transfer to your host IT application.
Finally, the system can be programmed to work with a wide variety of floor-scale and digital display units. Barcode label scanning and printing devices can also be used with the 1200-AKL to create a turnkey cubing, weighing, and tracking workstation. The 1200-AKL is a type-approved (Legal-for-Trade) dimensioning device per NTEP (US), OIML/MID (EU) and NMI (AU).
