Abstract

In a sorter for data carriers, in which the data carriers, for testing, run past an arrangement of sensors located on both sides of the transport path, at least the sensors on one side of the transport path are arranged on a separate mounting plate. This mounting plate is pivoted so that the sensors located opposite each other can be moved apart, thus exposing the transport path.
