How does the zippcube® volume measuring device precisely measure length, width, height, and weight of goods?

The zippcube works with high-precision light grid sensors for contactless dimension detection and four laser-welded precision load cells. Size measurement is performed with a resolution of 2 mm, while length detection offers an accuracy of 1 mm. Weight is determined with an accuracy of 10 g, or even 1 g when using an optional reference scale. This makes the device ideal for accurate master data acquisition in mail order and shipping.

Which objects can be reliably measured and how is integration into existing IT systems carried out?

The zippcube® can easily measure both boxed and foil-wrapped as well as non-cubic objects, regardless of their reflective properties. The captured data can be conveniently stored as a CSV file or transferred directly to your ERP or WMS systems via SQL/REST API. This ensures seamless and media-break-free integration.

What maximum object sizes can be measured with the different zippcube® models?

The three variants S, M, and L cover maximum sizes of 450 × 400 × 350 mm, 840 × 640 × 500 mm, and 1230 × 850 × 640 mm (L×W×H). This means that both small parts and larger packages can easily fit and be safely measured and weighed.

Product information "zippcube® - Volume measuring device for master data acquisition"

Semi-automatic volume and weight recording of items

In the mail-order trade, exact item master data is required for warehouse management and picking. To get it, an accurate calculation of the dimensions (length, width, height) as well as the weight of the items is necessary. The zippcube will improve the quality in this process easily. This is important for choosing the best option for transport and storage space and is also essential for accurate freight billing.

The BOSCHE “zippcube” volume scale has four laser-welded load cells which ensure reliable weighing. A sturdy and flat scale frame allows the easy application of the objects to be measured. Particular care was taken to keep the entire weighing technology as free of maintenance and wear as possible. The semi-automatic recording of data takes place within seconds. Two pairs of high-precision light curtains scan the objects to be measured (no matter what their shape) and ensure contactless -dimension detection. The intuitive-to-use, configurable software included presents all of the data clearly at a glance. These values can then easily be transferred to existing merchandise management and dispatch systems.

Construction & Software

In the BOSCHE "zippcube®" volume scale, four laser-welded load cells ensure reliable weighing. A stable and flat scale frame makes it easy to place the objects to be measured. Special attention was paid to keeping the entire weighing technology as maintenance- and wear-free as possible. The semi-automatic acquisition of data takes only seconds. Two high-precision pairs of light grids scan the objects to be measured (regardless of their shape) and ensure non-contact dimension recording. The intuitive and configurable software included in the delivery provides all data clearly at a glance. The values can then be easily transferred to existing merchandise management and shipping systems.
Ideal three-dimensional size and weight measurements for automated master data collection.

Accessoires

Optionally, you can further expand the 3D volume measuring system with some useful features. For example, a camera can record the respective product photo for the master data, a hand-held scanner enables barcodes to be scanned or a transport trolley with a self-sufficient power supply turns the Bosche volume scale into a mobile workstation. A small reference scale with higher accuracy enables the weighing of light parts with high precision.
