Abstract (en)

A packaging machine and method for producing sealed packages from a packaging material fed along a conveying path (P) and having a plurality of patterns (12) of reference marks comprising at least two reference marks (14, 15; 14*, 15*), said machine comprises a control apparatus (8) with a sensing device (17) configured for measuring at least a first parameter (D<sub>1</sub>; V) of the packaging material unit when the packaging material has a planar shape, an imaging device (9) configured for measuring at least a second parameter (D<sub>2</sub> ; D<sub>4</sub>) of the packaging material when the packaging material has a substantially tubular shape, and a control unit (16) connected to both the sensing device (17) and the imaging device (11) and configured for calculating the width of an overlapping area (AO) of the tube (5) based on said first parameter (D<sub>1</sub>; V) and said second parameter (D<sub>2</sub>; D4) .
