Abstract
Disclosed is a rotary table machine for container treatment, comprising a carousel with container receptacles for conveying containers, wherein the container receptacles are arranged at a regular spacing along a circular path about an axis of rotation of the carousel by means of a machine pitch, characterized in that the carousel and a rotary transducer are connected via a transmission such that, when the carousel rotates about a machine pitch, the rotary transducer emits and/or processes a whole-number multiple of a periodic value increment as a position signal, a signal transmitter is designed to detect a reference mark on the carousel and for emitting a reference mark signal on the basis thereof, and a signal processing device is designed to process the position signal and the reference mark signal in order to regulate the position of the carousel and to control the container receptacles.
