Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0629979A2] The invention relates to a testing device for round discs (4, 11, 13), for example coins, in which the discs (4, 11, 13) run along at least one gauge on a guide (15, 23, 41) supporting them. The testing devices known hitherto have only a limited throughput on account of their construction. Moreover, they are very expensive in terms of production. The invention avoids these disadvantages by delivering the round discs (4, 11, 13) onto an inclined slip plane (6), down which they slip and over which extends at least one collecting rail (7, 10) which is inclined relative to the horizontal and which collects the discs (4, 11, 13) and diverts them to the side. The discs (4, 11, 13) are thereafter fed to an optoelectronic device for the measurement of diameter and/or thickness. This combination allows considerably higher throughputs than in the testing devices known hitherto. <IMAGE>
