Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1188674A1] The articles such as packets (10) being examined are moved past a testing machine (39) where they are illuminated from the front main direction (43) by one or more lights (41,42) belonging to the main lighting system (44,45) near the conveyor path (35) of the articles. The articles such as labels (12) are positioned by means of their edges (22) which are lit up from the side. A trigger sensor (46) emits a signal when the object reaches a position for testing and switches on the lights.
