Abstract

Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Überprüfung von (Zigaretten-) Packungen hinsichtlich korrekter Positionierung von Banderolen.Method and device for checking (cigarette) Packs for correct positioning of banderoles.

Zur Überprüfung der korrekten Position einer Banderole (11) an einer Zigarettenpackung (10) werden mit Hilfe von mindestens zwei Sensoren im Abstand voneinander liegende Mess- bzw. Prüfpunkte (19, 20) hinsichtlich der Relativstellung zueinander verglichen. Hieraus ergibt sich die Relativstellung der Banderole (11). Bei Schiefstellung derselben wird die betreffende Zigarettenpackung (10) ausgesondert.

Figure 00000001
To check the correct position of a banderole (11) on a cigarette pack (10), measuring or test points (19, 20) which are at a distance from one another are compared with respect to the relative position with the aid of at least two sensors. This results in the relative position of the banderole (11). If the same is misaligned, the relevant cigarette pack (10) is discarded.
