Abstract (en)
[origin: CN110353302A] The present invention relates to a device (10) for inspecting an end suface (51) of a rod-shaped smoking article (5), wherein the smoking article (5) can be fed on a guide device (4) in a longitudinalaxial arrangement and are transportable transversely axially via a transverse conveyor (2) from the longitudinal axial guide device (4). The device (10) comprises a camera (20) which is adapted to capture the image of the end surface (51) located in a capture position (III), and an electronic signal processing means (24) for evaluating the picture captured by the camera (20). A position sensor (13) directed to a measuring position (II) is provided, which generates a signal during the conveyance of the smoking article (5) through the measuring position (II) and forwards the signal to the camera (20), and the camera (20), based on the signal of the position sensor (13), is triggered and/or moved to a triger position.
