Abstract
The invention relates to a device () for closing pharmaceutical containers () by means of closures (), having a first holding device () for receiving at least one pharmaceutical container (), a second holding device () for receiving at least one closure () for closing an opening () of the pharmaceutical container (), wherein the two holding devices () are mutually alignable, or are mutually aligned, in such a way that the closure () and the opening () of the container () are aligned with one another, wherein a plunger () and a counter element () are provided, wherein the plunger () and/or the counter element (), by means of a drive device (), can be driven and, relative to one another, moved, wherein, when the plunger () and the counter element () are moved towards one another when the drive device () is driven, the plunger () acts on the closure () or on the container () in such a way that the closure () can come into contact with the container () and, in order to close the opening () of the container (), can be pressed onto the container () by the cooperation of the plunger () and the counter element (), wherein a force sensor () is provided, by means of which a force applied by the closure plunger () when the closure () is pressed onto the container () can be detected.
