Abstract
A device (24) for automated visual monitoring of products, in particular products of elongated shape, having at least one longitudinal axis (10) and advancing essentially continuously in a direction A that is essentially parallel to their longitudinal axis (10), whereby guiding elements (26) keep the products during their passage in the field C by visual monitoring elements (28), the automated visual monitoring device (24) being characterized in that the guiding elements (26) include at least one slot (34) that is aligned with at least one reflective surface (32) that is arranged in the field C of the visual monitoring elements (28) behind the site of passage of the products.
