ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for electro-optically scanning (cigarette) packs. For an inspection of (cigarette) packs (10) as regards exterior appearance, electro-optical inspection means, particularly a camera (48) and a mirror (49) are used to produce images of the outer sides of the pack (10). In the region of an inspection station (20), the packs (10) are only engaged in the region of two diametrically opposite edges, particularly in the region of the short transverse edges (17, 18), in order to correctly and simultaneously detect all pack sides. As a result, the pack sides are exposed so that they can be scanned or photographed by appropriately positioned cameras or a camera and a mirror. The transverse edges (17, 18) bear on conveying strands (37, 38) of appropriately inclined conveyor belts (35, 36).
