Abstract:
A quality control station ( 2 ) for a sheet element processing machine, having at least one camera ( 6 ) arranged for capturing images of sheet elements ( 4 ) transported through the quality control station ( 2 ), and further having an illumination unit ( 5 ) with at least one light emitter ( 16 ) and two reflectors ( 12, 14 ), the illumination unit ( 5 ) directing light onto a viewing area of the camera ( 6 ) such that the illumination intensity is constant despite changing media thickness. An illumination unit for such quality control station is disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A quality control station for a sheet element processing machine, the station comprising:\n at least one camera arranged for capturing images of sheet elements transported through the quality control station and; an illumination unit with at least one light emitter and two reflectors, the illumination unit is configured for directing light onto a viewing area of the camera so that a first portion of the light is emitted by the light emitter towards the first reflector and is reflected towards the viewing area, a second portion of the light is emitted by the light emitter towards the second reflector and is reflected towards the viewing area and a third portion of the light is emitted by the light directly towards the viewing area such that the illumination intensity of the viewing area is constant despite changing media thickness.
