The operation of the system is based on the principle of laser scanning of the object surface with a rocking 2D triangulation sensor.

The system contains a 2D triangulation sensor (laser scanner) 1 with a protective screen 2, a controller 3 with a power supply 4, a sensor power supply 5, a Wi-Fi router 6. Elements 1-6 are installed on the rocking mechanism 7 equipped with two handles 8, 9. See Figure 1.

The measuring area of the scanner is shown in the figure below:

The system operates as follows. The system is installed on a tripod in the horizontal plane of the object at such a distance that the object is located in the measuring area of the scanner ("Field of View" in Fig. 2).

The laser radiation of the scanner (in the form of a line) is projected onto the controlled object. The resulting image of the contour (section profile) of the object is analyzed by the controller that calculates either the diameter of the round object or the width of the rectangular object.
To eliminate the measurement error caused by the non-perpendicularity of the laser line with respect to the axis of the object, measurements are made repeatedly when rocking the scanner around the horizontal axis using handles 7, 8. During the rocking process, the scanner captures a number of object profiles located at different angles to the object axis. The controller analyzes the obtained profiles and selects a profile perpendicular to the axis of the object, which characterizes its true size.
