INSPECTION SYSTEM OF FILTER ROD

摘要

This inspection system has: a camera (60) that takes an image of an end surface of an exposed continuous string (22) of a filter rod, when the filter rod including the continuous string (22) serving as an object to be inspected is conveyed along a conveyance path; an image determination device (66) that performs image processing of an inspection image taken by the camera (60) to determine whether or not the continuous string (22) is positioned on the center of the filter rod; a removal device (78) for removing the filter rod from the conveyance path; an adjustment device (80) for adjusting the position of the continuous string (22) in the manufacturing process of the filter rod; and a controller (76) that controls the operation of the removal device (78) or the adjustment device (80) on the basis of the results of determination received from the determination device (66).
