The system (14, 18) for evaluating the geometry of articles transported by a conveyor (12) includes a frame (20) adapted to be mounted facing the conveyor (12), feelers (22) carried by the frame and moved relative to the frame (20) by articles transported by the conveyor (12), each feeler (22) having an end (28) for tracking the exposed surface of an article, which tracking end (28) is adapted to rest on the article and to move the feeler (22) by an amount representative of the position of the point on the article to which the tracking end (28) of the feeler (22) is applied, means (32) for measuring the position of each feeler (22) relative to the frame (20), and means (18) for calculating the geometry of the articles according to the measured position of each feeler (22). |
