Abstract

In un apparecchio per il convogliamento di sigarette, sigarette vengono convogliate lungo un percorso in modo che esse vengano intercettate in sequenza da fasci diretti su porzioni differenti del percorso per produrre una fila circonferenziale completa di perforazioni su ciascuna sigaretta dopo che essa ha attraversato il percorso. Un fascio laser incidente (14) viene diviso nel tempo per produrre impulsi per realizzare perforazioni mediante dischi girevoli reciprocamente inclinati (20, 28). Un sensore della temperatura (150) è previsto per rivelare la formazione di contaminanti su di una lente o specchio (146) per un fascio laser (32B). Una corrente di aria contenente piccole quantità di acqua viene fornita da tubi (380, 388) che terminano nella regione in cui le sigarette vengono perforate in modo da essere di ausilio nella rimozione di contaminanti risultanti dalla perforazione del laser.
