Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und ein Gerät zum Prüfen des Füllungsgrades von Zigarettenenden mittels Reflexionslichtschranken (41), wobei eine Fremdlichtkom­ pensation bezüglich des von der Reflexionslichtschranke (41) erzeugten Meßwertes bei jeder Messung, eine Selbst­ überprüfung jeweils zwischen zwei Messungen unter Aus­ nutzung einer Grundreflexion und ferner eine Mittelwertbil­ dung über die Meßwerte derjenigen Zigaretten (43) vorge­ nommen wird, die als gut erkannt werden. Der Mittelwert wird dann zur Bildung des Schwellwertes verwendet, den die Meßwerte überschreiten müßen, damit die Zigaretten (43) als gut erkannt werden. Es können sowohl Zigaretten­ blocks (44) als auch Einzelzigaretten (43) geprüft werden. The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for Check the filling level of cigarette ends with Reflection light barriers (41), an extraneous light com compensation with respect to that of the retro-reflective sensor (41) generated measured value with each measurement, a self check between two measurements under Off use of a basic reflection and also an averaging tion on the measured values of those cigarettes (43) is taken that are recognized as good. The mean is then used to form the threshold value the readings must exceed the cigarettes (43) can be recognized as good. It can be both cigarettes blocks (44) as well as single cigarettes (43) can be checked.
