DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CHECKING THE QUALITY OF FOLDING BOXES AND MANUFACTURING INSTALLATION COMPRISING SUCH A QUALITY-CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

This quality-control device (200) comprises: an illumination system (202) for illuminating one peripheral face of each folding box, an image capture device (204) for forming a multiple image of the peripheral face of a bundle of folding boxes, an image processing system (206) for: i) detecting within the multiple image each peripheral end of the slots that separate adjacent flaps, ii) generating a data set indicative of the geometry of each peripheral end, and iii) analyzing the data set to determine the width of each peripheral end.
