Abstract
Setting of reciprocal position of filter segments () delivered from multiple modules () of a machine for manufacturing filters is accomplished by registering the position and the length of a segment () from each module () on a carrier element () of a grouping unit when the filter manufacturing process is switched off, after which the reciprocal position of the segments () and the length between the segments () are set. The said operations may be accomplished by means of a sensor (), the registering element () or by mapping the relative positions of adjacent segments () in the control system.
