The invention relates to an installation for observing or illuminating a container () section (t) travelling in translation and each having an axis of revolution (S), the installation including optical systems () translationally guided along a parallel direction an adjustment portion of their respective optical paths, and which have, for containers having a section with a first diameter, their respective work volumes each coincident with a part of said container section having the first diameter, the installation including at least one driving device () providing, when the containers have a section with a second diameter different to the first diameter, the movement in synchronous translation of the optical systems along a direction parallel to the adjustment portion of their respective optical paths and as a function of the difference between the first and the second diameter.

Apparatus and method for simultaneously focusing optical systems according to the diameter of the containers

The invention relates to a method for conveying in translation, in a transport zone, glass containers () held in a suspended position between two slide rails on which slides a counter-ring () arranged on each container which has a ring surface () defining the opening of the container, the method consisting of ensuring the movement in translation of the containers () by a bearing surface () of at least one belt () driven in translation and exerting mechanical pressure on each ring surface () of the containers () to create a bond by adherence between each ring surface () of the containers and the bearing surface () of the belt.

Method and device for conveying containers in a suspended position

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.
