Abstract
An inspection device comprises movable equipment driven relative to a frame and provided with external and internal inspection gauges. Detection systems are provided for detecting contacts occurring between the internal and external gauges and a container. Each detection system further comprises an emitter and receiver system for emitting and receiving a light beam in a direction parallel to the travel direction of the movable equipment. A movement transformation mechanism carried by the movable equipment is also provided for transforming the travel movement of the gauge relative to the movable equipment into a movement that obstructs or ceases to obstruct the light beam.
