Abstract
A device for counting printed products of an imbricated stream includes a first measuring unit for detecting a printed product edge directed transversely of the conveying direction of the imbricated stream and with an evaluating unit which receives signals of the first measuring unit for counting the printed products. Therefore, it is the primary object to provide a device of the above-described type which facilitates a higher counting accuracy even in the case of irregular imbricated streams of products.
Claims8
A device for counting printed products which travel in an imbricated stream, the device comprising a first measuring means for detecting a printed product edge directed transversely of the conveying direction of the imbricated stream, and an evaluating unit for receiving signals of the first measuring means for counting the printed products, the device further comprising a second measuring means for determining a property of the imbricated stream which deviates from the printed product edges of the imbricated stream, wherein a counting result of the first measuring means is correctable by using through the evaluating unit a measuring result of the second measuring unit, wherein the second measuring means detects the enveloping curve of the imbricated stream.
