Abstract:
An apparatus for the optoelectronic checking of cuboidal packs (10) once the packs have left a packaging machine, wherein, in a region of a horizontal checking section (30), the packs (10) are transported along a movement path in a forward conveying direction by a conveyor and, during this transport, are checked for correct formation by optoelectronic monitoring elements of the apparatus, and for defective packs (10) to be separated out from the path, said apparatus further comprising,in a region of the horizontal checking section (30), conveying belts (31, 32) which exclusively transport the packs (10),wherein the conveying belts (31, 32) are disposed such that they butt exclusively against mutually opposite pack surfaces, which are directed laterally with respect to the conveying direction, and in a top region of the pack surfaces above an imaginary horizontal center plane (35) of the packs (10), and such that the packs (10) are transported exclusively in such a way that they hang between the conveying belts (31, 32).
