A machine (1) for processing containers (3) has: a conveying device (4); a processing unit (10), coupled to the conveying device and carrying a respective container (3) along a processing path (P); an infeed transfer element (5), to transfer onto the conveying device non-processed containers (3); an outfeed transfer element (8), to transfer from the conveying device processed containers (3); at least one processing station (12a), coupled to the conveying device between the infeed transfer element (5) and the outfeed transfer element (8) to perform processing operations on the container; and a control system (15) to control quality of the container processing operations, having a positioning apparatus (16) arranged downstream the infeed transfer element (5), to set a desired positioning of the container (3) with respect to the processing unit (10). The control system (15) is also provided with an inspection device (18) on-board the machine (1), between the positioning apparatus (16) and the processing station (12a), to: inspect an actual positioning of the container (3) in the respective processing unit (10), to allow a determination whether the actual positioning corresponds to the desired positioning; and selectively enable processing operation on the container by the processing station (12a), based on the determination. |
