Abstract

The apparatus has at least one optical sensor (7, 8), which emits a light beam (13, 14), inclined at an angle in relation to the surface of the pallet (2), and irradiates the surface of the pallet (2) at a point of reflection, and supports (9, 10) with cylinders for displacing the point of reflection by a predetermined distance over the surface of the pallet (2).
