摘要： A method of controlling printed items, in particular banknotes, involving two printing stages, the method including the steps of acquiring a controlled-item image; acquiring from the controlled-item image a deviation value between images printed in the two printing stages; acquiring a specimen-item image having the aforementioned deviation value; and comparing the controlled-item image with the specimen-item image; the specimen-item image being selected from a number of images memorized beforehand in a specimen image memory.

摘要： The external integrity of cigarettes is verified by a method that involves directing single cigarettes, carried on a conveyor, along a route of which one section affords a monitoring path equipped with a line scan camera; the advancing cigarette can be made selectively to rotate about its longitudinal axis while the camera, a solid state type using CCD arrays, makes a succession of scans on respective closely ordered parallel lines, which are pulsed at a programmed frequency and synchronously with the movement of the cigarette in such a way that each successive scan line will fall on one and the same generator of the cylindrical surface. Repeated scanning of the same limited surface area eliminates quality control errors attributable to the presence of particulates in the space between the cigarettes and the camera.

摘要： The filling of a cigarette is controlled by detecting a brightness curve of at least one part of the open end of the cigarette, processing the resulting brightness curve to obtain a contrast index, and comparing the resulting contrast index with an equivalent index of a correctly filled cigarette to obtain a signal indicating acceptance of the cigarette under observation.

摘要： The filling of a cigarette under observation is controlled by intersecting the open-end surface of the cigarette with at least one coherent light blade emitted by at least one laser source, to form a respective real light trace, and by analyzing any deviation or discontinuity of the real trace in relation to a theoretical, straight, continuous trace formed by joining two end points of the real trace, to obtain a signal indicating acceptance or rejection of the cigarette under observation.

摘要： A method of controlling banknotes provides for acquiring a first image of a banknote having two successive prints; determining a relative deviation of the prints; determining deformation of the banknote; forming a second image as a function of the relative deviation, of the deformation, and of a third and fourth image characteristic of the respective successive prints; and emitting an error signal when the luminance values of the first image are outside first ranges relating to luminance values of the second image, or when the relative deviation is outside a second range.

摘要： Banknotes emerging from a currency processing machine with a plurality of formation channels advance in succession along respective ducts of which the runouts are equipped with respective rollers positioned to pick up the notes, transfer them to each channel and stack them on a first shelf. An occluding mechanism operating at the inlet of each channel causes groups of the notes to accumulate on the corresponding first shelf, each of which is picked up by a first gripper and transported toward a first strapping/banding station where a gripping mechanism takes up a continuous strip of banding material by the leading end and passes it around each successive group; the strip is cut into discrete lengths by a tool designed also to seal the leading end to the trailing end of the cut length, banding the group to fashion a bundle which is then transferred to a second shelf and carried by this same shelf toward the outlet of the channel.
