Abstract
A detector device for ceramic tiles or slabs that includes a resting plane provided with a longitudinal direction and a laser emitter arranged to emit a flat laser beam on the resting plane so as to illuminate a detection line on the resting plane. The laser beam lies on a plane having a first inclination with respect to the transport plane and the laser beam has a second inclination with respect to the longitudinal direction. The detector device also includes a camera provided with a vision cone having a longitudinal axis, which longitudinal axis has an inclination with respect to the transport plane; the vision cone faces the transport plane so as to include the detection line, wherein the laser emitter and the camera are located on the same side of the transport plane.
