Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH02214550A] PURPOSE: To monitor the destruction of bank notes by the destruction stage itself or an adequate sensor means capable of detecting the prompt result thereof. CONSTITUTION: The destruction of sheet materials, more particularly the bank notes, is monitored within an automatic classifying apparatus for continuously sending the sheet materials, sheet by sheet, to a cutting means 20 driven by a motor 15 having mesh cutter blocks 12, 13. At this time, the destruction stage and/or the prompt result thereof is detected by the sensor means, for example, an optical barrier 11, a proximity caliper 16, a current sensor 17, a microphone 18, an optical sensor 19, a band-pass filter 21 or the like. The signal of at least one sensor is sent to a microprocessor where evaluation is made relating to a plurality of parameters, such as counting, length determination, quality determination and detection of the plurality of bank notes.
