Abstract:
method for sorting bags bags includes filing past flat one after the other while being separated by a gap; the exterior edges of each bag are checked to determine whether the template and the position of the bag correspond to a calibrated bag or non-calibrated bag, the non-calibrated bags are ejected, the calibrated bags are presented in front of a visual inspection system to determine an acceptable or unacceptable quality of the inspected bag; and the acceptable bags are stacked and the unacceptable bags are rejected after they have passed in front of the visual inspection system. The invention also relates to a machine implementing the method.

Claim (Index 9):
The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the checking of the outer edges of each bag is performed by a checking station that includes a first photoelectric cell and a second photoelectric cell positioned adjacent to the first, each of the photoelectric cells emitting and receiving a light beam that can be interrupted by the bag to be checked, and wherein the checking the outer edges of each bag includes determining if the outer edges of the bag in the direction of transportation interrupt the beam of the first cell and not the beam of the second cell within a time period corresponding to the period of theoretic passage of the bag and if the beam from the second cell is interrupted within the time period or if the beam from the first cell is not interrupted, the bag is considered to have a defect.
