ABSTRACT:
A dimensional weighing apparatus is disclosed which has a weighing scale for determining the actual weight of a carton placed thereon, and associated therewith is a measuring frame and an optical sensing system for measuring the linear distance of the three axes of carton positioned on the scale necessary to determine the volume of the carton. A computer processing unit determines firstly whether the actual volume of the carton is less or greater than a predetermined threshold volume, and provides an operator with a signal indicating that determination. The apparatus includes means for permitting the operator to determine whether he will manually measure the carton to determine its actual volume for a more accurate determination than is provided by the measuring frame and optical sensing system, or if he will cause the dimensional weighing apparatus to calculate the dimensional weight of the carton and determine a shipping weight based thereon, thereby accepting a less accurate determination of a shipping weight in the interest of greater speed.
