Abstract (en)
A machine for processing cigarettes (2), a control device (5), and a diagnostic method applied to such a machine (1); the machine (1) has a number of housings (10) oriented crosswise to a feed path (P1) and each having at least two respective elongated seats (11, 11'); during each operating cycle, each seat (11, 11') picks up a respective cigarette (2) at an input station (4), releases the cigarette at an output station (6), and returns to the input station (4) along a return path (P2); a proximity sensor (14, 14') determines the position of the seats (11), and emits a recording signal (S) which is processed and compared with reference data (DR) to determine a possible fault.
