The invention relates to a device and an associated method for detecting the actual position (P) of at least one label transfer element () of a labeling machine relative to the peripheral surface (') of a container () to be labeled, such as bottles, cans, cardboard boxes, and the like, comprising at least one sensor unit () and at least one control and evaluation unit () operatively connected to the at least one sensor unit, wherein the at least one container () to be labeled is arranged so as to be rotatable about a rotational axis (DA) in a movement and transport plane (E). Especially advantageously, a three-dimensional detection space is associated with the at least one label transfer element () and the particular container () to be labeled, a coordinate sys tem having three coordinate axes (x, y, z) spanning said three-dimensional detection space, and the at least one sensor unit () being designed to contactlessly detect the actual position (P) of the label transfer element () relative to the peripheral surface (&#x2032;) of the container () in the three-dimensional detection space.

Device and method for detecting the actual position of at least one label transfer element of a labeling machine

The invention relates to a printing apparatus for printing bottles or similar containers, having several printing positions on a transport element, which can be driven in rotation, by which the printing positions and/or the containers are moved on a closed path of movement between at least one container take-up and at least one container drop, having rotating print heads for applying at least one print image, preferably multi-color, onto a region to be printed on the external container surface of the containers, in the event of relative movement of the external container surface and at least one print head, wherein at least one enclosure is present, into which each of the containers, which are provided at a print position, is housed during the printing process with at least the region to be printed thereof.

Printing apparatus for printing bottles or similar containers

The invention relates to a device for treating packaging means, such as bottles, cans or similar containers, comprising a device-internal transport section, on which the treatment of the packaging means is carried out on processing stations () in at least two process steps, and further comprising holding and centering elements, by means of which the packaging means () are held at least during the respective process step in an orientation on the device-internal transport system necessary for said process step and/or by means of which the packaging means are moved at least during one process step.

Device for treating packaging means

The invention relates to a device for printing one multiple-pass print on each packaging container (), on which the packaging containers are moved in a transport direction past printing stations or printing heads for applying the multiple-pass print. The device is constructed from a plurality of modules (-) in at least a partial area. Each module comprises at least one transport element having an associated drive. The transport elements of the module adjacent to each other form at least one part of the transport path.

Device for applying one multiple-pass print each to packaging containers

A labeling machine for the dispensing of labels, such as self-adhesive labels, on objects, such as containers or bottles. The labeling machine has an arrangement for the generation of a defined strip tension of the labeling material over its strip length between a looper and a dispensing edge, and for the generation of a defined strip tension of the backing material over at least a part of its strip length between the dispensing edge and a receptacle for the backing material.
