Abstract (en)

[origin: JP2016127835A] PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide equipment and a method capable of inspecting at a low cost in total an end face of a rod-shaped article transferred in a lateral direction in a tobacco processing industry machine.SOLUTION: Equipment for inspecting an end face of a rod-shaped article (6) transferred in a lateral direction in a tobacco processing industry machine (11) includes at least one thrusting-in drum (13) rotatively driven and having peripheral grooves (10), an introduction device (8) for introducing a rod-shaped article (6) longitudinally into the peripheral groove (10), and an optical inspection device (24). The inspection device is disposed for inspecting the end face (6a) of a filter rod disposed in a detection area (25) of the inspection device (24). The thrusting-in drum (13) is provided with a positioning element (21) at an end surface opposite to a strand. The rod-shaped article (6) abuts on the positioning element. The positioning element (21) and the thrusting-in drum (13) move relative to each other.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
