Dimensional Weighing Scales in the Central Carolina Scale Electronic Catalog

One of the world's most advanced dimensioning systems, CubiScan, will help you operate more efficiently as they become an essential part of your cubing effort in logistics planning, storage space allocation, material sorting, manifesting, and general material handling and warehousing processes. By enabling you to quickly and accurately gather dimensional and weight data, CubiScan dimensioning systems will help you utilize space with the utmost efficiency, generate additional revenue by calculating valuable dimensional weight charges, and save you measurable amounts of time, effort and money.

Determining the dimensional weight of an item is a straightforward process, yet this time-consuming task can result in big and expensive problems when errors occur. Most major shipping companies designate their charges for shipping packages based on what is called the dim weight or dimensional weight (DW) of the object being shipped. The standard formula for determining the dimensional weight of an item is (DW = length (L) x width (W) x height (H) divided by a dimensional weight conversion factor, usually 194 for domestic shipping. International service is calculated by dividing by 166. Utilized by most shipping carriers for billing, these calculations are used to consider the amount of space a package will take up in relation to the weight of the package. When these calculations are inaccurate due to poor dimensional measuring techniques, the result affects everyone involved. They can become a big problem by changing the way businesses handle both shipping and storage.

A ruler or tape measure was the traditional method to measure boxes. In an assembly production line or a conveyor environment, where objects on the conveyor are moving at a high rate of speed, this quickly becomes impractical. There was no way to measure these cubed shaped objects accurately and quickly. Presently, the responsibility to calculate the dim weight of the package has shifted to the shipper or carrier and in some cases even to the manufacturer. Lacking a dimensioning system the problem remained the same – getting millions of boxes measured properly so that they could be stored, located and delivered on time to the customer without under or over charging them.....

Which Cubiscan do I need?

1000-VS Questionnaire	CubiScan 1000-VS Dimensioning Systems The CubiScan 1000-VS is a ceiling-mounted, static dimension-scanning device which can work in conjunction with a heavy capacity floor scale. Its ceiling-mounted configuration maximizes efficiency by allowing omni-directional access to the measurement area. It removes the sensing equipment from harm’s way and does not take up valuable floor space dedicated for operations and freight staging.
In motion Questionnaire	CubiScan 200-XIR Dimensioning System The CubiScan 200-XIR is an above-the-belt cubing system, which uses infrared emitter/receiver technology to gather parcel dimensions at conveyor speeds of up to 600 feet per minute. Similar to the 200-TL, the XIR is flexible and can be positioned around existing conveyor.
In motion Questionnaire	CubiScan 200-TL Dimensioning Systems The CubiScan 200-TL is a high-speed, above-the-belt cube scanning system that can be positioned around existing conveyor for non-manned, high-volume applications. The system uses laser technology to see a parcel’s length and width and infrared light to detect height. The 200-TL is easily attached to existing conveyors. It is robust, and capable of accurately dimensioning parcels in any orientation at speeds of up to 600 feet per minute with parcel intervals as small as 2 inches.
In motion Questionnaire	CubiScan 200-B Dimensioning Systems The CubiScan 200-B is an integrated in-motion cubing and weighing system that will simultaneously measure and weigh parcels as they travel at speeds up to 165 feet per minute, regardless of their orientation. Its flexibility allows it to be installed in various configurations with automatic barcode scanning equipment making it a highly productive, turnkey dimension scanning, weighing, and tracking system.
	CubiScan 150 Designed for use in distribution, direct fulfillment, and logistics environments, the Cubiscan 150 combines the attributes of flexibility, accuracy, and durability into one attractive and functional package. The CubiScan 150 is robust, with a maximum measurement range of 3.3 x 3.3 x 4 feet and a net weight capacity of 150 lbs (68 Kg). Yet it is precise, with a measurement resolution of 0.2 inches (50 mm) and weight resolution of 0.2 lbs (0.1 kg). The CubiScan 150 dimensioning system is mounted on locking casters, so it can be operated in a fixed position or quickly moved and redeployed when necessary.
	Cubiscan 100 The CubiScan 100 facilitates storage location planning, order picking, re-pack, shipment planning, and freight manifesting activities, and is capable of gathering dimensions and weight on products as small as 0.5 inches and as large as 24 by 24 inches on length and width, and 36 inches on height. With a mobility pack, (which includes a battery and charger) the 100 becomes a completely portable workstation, allowing it to go to the freight rather than bringing freight to it. The CubiScan 100 is a legal-for-trade certified device that allows shippers and carriers to manifest freight based on volume and weight, always applying the correct and optimal shipping charges.
