FIELD: tobacco industry.
SUBSTANCE: method for determination of mutual disposition of filter segment on the bearing element of the grouping unit in the process of manufacture of multi-segment filters used in tobacco industry for cigarettes; segments from multiple modules of the filter manufacture machine are supplied onto the bearing element of the grouping unit and positioned in a sequence corresponding to the cigarette filter structure; the modules sequence designation is assumed in the direction corresponding to the segments movement direction; when the manufacture process is stopped, the position and length of segment from every module on the bearing element of the grouping unit is registered; then mutual disposition of the segments and the distance between the segments are determined.
EFFECT: ensuring the possibility of significant saving of time (while the manufactured material structure is modified) and the material losses decrease (while the filter segments position on the bearing element of the grouping unit is preset).
