Abstract (en)
[origin: US4678901A] During the packaging of cigarettes, cigarette groups (10) assigned to a pack are checked to ensure that all the cigarettes are present. For non-contact monitoring, optical transmitters (22) and receivers (23) are arranged in a support (cantilever 21) located above the path of movement of the cigarette groups (10), in such a way that, when the cigarettes in the top layer (17) are present and properly formed, a check beam (26) from the transmitter (22) is received as a reflected beam (27) by the receiver (23).
