Abstract: An analysis machine for analyzing the cleanness condition of perforated strips enables a direct non-destructive measurement, without image conversion, of pollution by particles on the surface of plastic strips that are relatively transparent and perforated. This is done by using an automatic analysis machine, and a supporting and guiding device of the strips to be analyzed. The supporting and guiding device comprises a transparent revolving cylinder provided with at least one groove of small depth in which are arranged opaque masks that practically superimpose with the perforations of the strip to be analyzed. This arrangement prevents the disturbance and deterioration of the recording due to the light rays emitted by a light source located near the device.
