Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008010249A1] A device for identifying the ends of moving objects comprises a first feed surface (2) for transporting objects (100) positioned one after another with their ends in contact with one another, and a second feed surface (3), for transporting objects (100) positioned one after another arriving from the first feed surface (2), adjacent to the first feed surface (2), there being a difference in height (4) between these surfaces. A sensor (6) is operatively associated with the difference in height (4) to detect an end of at least one object (100). A method for identifying the ends of moving objects comprises the steps of: feeding a plurality of objects (100) positioned with their ends in contact with one another along a path; creating a misalignment between two objects (100) fed along the path so as to at least partly expose the ends of the misaligned objects (100); and detecting the end of at least one of the objects (100) positioned at the misalignment zone.
