APPARATUS FOR SAMPLING SIMILAR LAMINAR ARTICLES

摘要

The invention relates to apparatus for sampling similar laminar articles, in particular biscuits, on a conveyor. The apparatus comprises photocells (1) for detecting the location of laminar articles (8) on the conveyor (7), an article pick-up suction head (2) positioned downstream of the photocells and in fixed relation thereto, and connections for transmitting a signal from the photocells to the suction pick-up head to actuate the latter when a laminar article is in a predetermined position with respect thereto.
