The dimensions of an object (28) in three mutually perpendicular directions are measured using three mutually perpendicularly oriented transducers (12,14,16) each for measuring one dimension, and the data are collected and stored, displayed or otherwise utilised. The object can be carried on a conveyor (18), the transducers being in fixed orientation thereto. Trigger means (22,24) can be provided to activate the transducers when the object reaches the volume encompassed by the transducers. The object can be simultaneously weighed (40). |
