    Abstract: A surface inspection system (10) for inspecting the surface of sheet elements (2) present in an inspection area (5): The system includes an image evaluation unit (18), two light sources (12, 14) arranged adjacent each other on opposite sides of an illumination plane (O11) and oriented for illuminating the inspection area (5), and a camera (16) for capturing line images (I12, I14) of the inspection area (5) along a viewing plane (O16). The illumination plane (O11) and the viewing plane (O16) are arranged on opposite sides of a median plane (M) which is perpendicular to an inspection plane. The angle (α) between the illumination plane (O11) and the median plane (M) is the same as the angle (α) between the viewing plane (O16) and the median plane (M). Also, a method of inspecting the surface of sheet elements (4) by using the surface inspection system (10) as defined above, wherein a first of the two light sources (12, 14) directs light onto the sheet element (4) to be inspected, and the camera (16) captures a line image (I12; I14) of the inspection area (5), and then a second of the two light sources (14, 12) directs light onto the sheet element (4) to be inspected, and the camera (16) captures a line image (I14; I12) of the inspection area (5). Then an image evaluation unit (18) compares the captured line images (I14; I12) with each other, and in particular subtracts the images from each other.

    Abstract: An ejector member (2) for removing waste from sheets on the fly in a machine (1) for processing sheet-form elements includes a comb (4) having a plurality of teeth (10). The comb (4) is configured to be able to adopt a low-throughput first position and at least one high-throughput second position. The center of the comb (4) is set back with respect to the lateral ends of the comb (4) in the high-throughput second position. The center of the comb (4) is set back further in the high-throughput second position than in the low-throughput first position. Also relates a machine for processing sheet-form elements including such an ejector member.

    Abstract: A device (10) for optically controlling a face (13) of a blank (12) has a vacuum conveyor (20) capable of transporting the blank (12) along a path of travel (15) and which includes a conveyor belt (22) having an apertured structure of which the conveying path follows the path of travel (15) of the blank (12). A suction device (40) is suitable for pressing the blank (12) against the conveyor belt (14). An inspection device (30) inspects the face (13) of the blank (12) during its conveyance by the vacuum conveyor (20). The inspection device is located on the side opposite the vacuum conveyor (20). The suction device (40) delimits three separate successive suction sections (41, 42, 43) along the path of travel (15), including a central suction section (42) that extends opposite the inspection device (30), an upstream suction section (41) and a downstream suction section (43).
