20130146207 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A LABELLING MACHINE - A method for operating a labelling machine includes, at a first inspection unit, detecting feature coordinates of a design feature of a container, transferring the feature coordinates to a second inspection unit that follows a labelling assembly, and at the second inspection unit, while synchronizing the feature coordinates of the design feature, inspecting the container for correct label seating by tracking the feature coordinates of the design feature along a conveying path from the first inspection unit to said second inspection unit. | 06-13-2013 |
20130233437 | INSPECTION DEVICE FOR INSPECTING FOREIGN MATTER - A container handling installation in which retaining and transport elements transport containers in a transport direction and in which filling stations fill containers with product includes an inspection device for checking the container for unwanted foreign matter. The inspection device is integral with the retaining and transport element and includes a piezo sensor. Also included is an evaluation unit connected to the inspection device. The inspection device is configured to connect to the container such that the container and the inspection device move together in a respective direction of movement and in the transport direction. | 09-12-2013 |
20130248321 | INSPECTION DEVICE FOR INSPECTING FOREIGN MATTER - An apparatus for transporting containers includes transport elements for transporting the containers in a transport direction, each of the transport elements including a clamping element, which is either a centering or holding element, for clamping a particular container, and an inspection device to inspect a container-to-be-inspected for unwanted foreign matter. The inspection device has a piezo sensor and is integral to the transport, centering, or holding element. The apparatus also includes an analysis unit connected to the inspection device, and an excitation element for controlling movement of a container. The inspection device is connectable to the container such that the container can be moved in an appropriate direction of movement and in the transport direction using the inspection device. | 09-26-2013 |
20140096863 | CONTAINER VOLUME CONTROL UNIT UPSTREAM OF FILLING LEVEL CONTROL UNIT - A container-handling apparatus includes a filling machine for filling containers, a filling-level-monitoring control unit downstream of the filling machine, a first container-detection element configured to scan and relay at least a partial contour of a relevant container as inspection data, and a control-and-regulating device configured to receive inspection data about containers. The first container-detection element is separated from and upstream of the filling-level-monitoring control unit. The filling-level-monitoring control unit inspects a container and passes inspection data about the container to the control-and-regulating device. The first container-detection element inspects the container independently of the filling-level-monitoring control unit and passes inspection data about the container to the control-and-regulating device. | 04-10-2014 |
20140283613 | EMPTY CRATE INSPECTION BY DETECTION OF EXCITED OSCILLATIONS - An apparatus for inspecting an empty crate that is transported on a transport device includes an inspection device having a pulse generator, a processor, a sensor, and an uncoupling device. Prior to inspection, the uncoupling device uncouples the empty crate from the transport device. The pulse generator then excites vibrations in the empty crate, which the sensor receives and passes to a processor for analysis. | 09-25-2014 |
20150071523 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INSPECTING CONTAINERS, SUCH AS BOTTLES OR SIMILAR CONTAINERS - A method and apparatus for inspecting containers, such as bottles or similar containers. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b). As stated in 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b): A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading “Abstract of the Disclosure.” The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The abstract shall not be used for interpreting the scope of the claims. Therefore, any statements made relating to the abstract are not intended to limit the claims in any manner and should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any manner. | 03-12-2015 |
