Embodiment Construction

[0035] figure 1 A schematic representation of the transverse conveyor 2 with the smoking articles 5 located therein, referred to below as products 50 , and the end faces 51 of said products 50 to be inspected is shown in order to illustrate basic issues. The transfer point of the products 50 onto the transverse conveyor 2 depends on various factors, such as, for example, the speed of the products 50 in the schematically shown longitudinal conveyor 1 . Typically produce the product 50 at image 3 The illustrated fluctuation of the position in the groove 103 , which carries the product 50 , is less than approximately ±5 mm in the longitudinal direction of the product 50 . This fluctuation is caused according to the prior art by the figure 1 Unclear imaging of the end surface 51 by the camera 20 not shown in FIG.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device (10) for inspecting an end suface (51) of a rod-shaped smoking article (5), wherein the smoking article (5) can be fed on a guide device (4) in a longitudinalaxial arrangement and are transportable transversely axially via a transverse conveyor (2) from the longitudinal axial guide device (4). The device (10) comprises a camera (20) which is adapted to capture the image of the end surface (51) located in a capture position (III), and an electronic signal processing means (24) for evaluating the picture captured by the camera (20). A position sensor (13) directed to a measuring position (II) is provided, which generates a signal during the conveyance of the smoking article (5) through the measuring position (II) and forwards the signal to the camera (20), and the camera (20), based on the signal of the position sensor (13), is triggered and / or moved to a triger position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for inspecting the end faces of rod-shaped smoking articles having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and a device for inspecting the end faces of rod-shaped smoking articles having the features of the preamble of claim 10 Method for inspecting the end faces of smoking articles. Background technique [0002] Rod-shaped smoking articles are, for example, cigarettes, cigarillos, heat-not-burn products (HNB-products) or similar products intended to be inhaled by consumers. In this case, not only smoke but also ether-like or medicinal substances can be provided for inhalation, or in addition, despite the concept described. As a rod-shaped smoking article, this can also refer to the primary product of the smoking article, such as, for example, a filter rod, a tobacco rod with a shape-stabilized tobacco material by a wrapping band, a segment of an HNB product, such as a tubular cooling zone Segments, taste-influencing...
