The invention discloses a device for automatically detecting and adjusting a gluing position of tipping paper of cigarettes. The device comprises a detection module, an automatic adjusting device, a man-machine interface, a state indicator, a power module and a master control module, wherein the master control module controls the automatic adjusting device to adjust the left-right offset of a paper guide block according to glue position offset transmitted by the detection module and controls the gluing device to operate. The method disclosed by the invention comprises the following steps: shooting and sampling by a high-speed camera, and processing images by an image processor so as to obtain the glue position offset; and judging whether the glue position is qualified by the master control module according to the glue position offset, enabling the gluing device to continuously operate when the glue position is qualified, and transmitting an adjusting instruction to the automatic adjusting device and corresponding adjusting the paper guide block when the glue position is unqualified. According to the device and method disclosed by the invention, the offset occurring at the gluing position of the tipping paper can be automatically adjusted and corrected, all the processes are automatically monitored and executed by the master control module, the automation level is improved, the adjusting precision is guaranteed, and wastes are reduced.
