Abstract
A quality-control device (200) includes: an illumination system (202) for illuminating one peripheral face of each folding box, an image capture device (204) for forming a multiple image of the respective peripheral faces of a bundle of folding boxes, an image processing system (206) for: i) detecting within the multiple image each peripheral end of the slots of each box that separate its adjacent flaps, ii) generating a data set indicative of the geometry of each peripheral end, and iii) analyzing the data set to determine the width of each peripheral end.
