Device and method for examining value documents, in particular banknotes, and value document processing system

摘要

The invention relates to a device and to a method for examining value documents (3), in particular banknotes, and to a value document processing system having at least one sensor for detecting an electromagnetic radiation transmitted by a value document (3) and generating corresponding first sensor signals and for detecting an electromagnetic radiation remitted by the value document (3) and producing corresponding second sensor signals and an evaluation device for examining whether the value document (3) has a foreign object (4), in particular an adhesive strip, taking into account first and second sensor signals which correspond to the electromagnetic radiation transmitted or remitted in each case in the region of the edge of the value document (3). The invention prevents deformations (5) in the region of the edge of value documents (3) from being identified as foreign objects (4).
