Abstract (en)
This invention relates to a method for inspecting the ends of rod-shaped segments of the tobacco industry, comprising the steps of:- feeding a plurality of pairs (100) of rod-shaped segments (101, 102) of the tobacco industry into respective successive peripheral flutes (3) of a rotary drum (2), each pair (100) comprising a first and a second segment (101, 102) disposed coaxially and able to be axially spaced from each other;- capturing images of inner ends (101a, 102a) of the first and second segments (101, 102), wherein the inner ends (101a, 102a) are disposed to face each other.The step of capturing is carried out by capturing means (4) which are at least partly interposed between the two segments (101, 102) of the pair (100) to be inspected.
