A junction box containing the camera and laser is placed about 60 mm from the object. A 7 mW diode laser with line optics illuminates the object, thus tracing a line corresponding to the cross section of the object. The camera is mounted at an angle to the object in order to minimize sensitivity to lateral movement.

If the object is in motion, the system requires the object to travel at a fixed distance from the sensor during measurement.
