| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a device and an associated method for detecting the actual position (P) of at least one label transfer element (2) of a labeling machine relative to the peripheral surface (3′) of a container (3) to be labeled, such as bottles, cans, cardboard boxes, and the like, comprising at least one sensor unit (5, 6) and at least one control and evaluation unit (7) operatively connected to the at least one sensor unit, wherein the at least one container (3) 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 (2) and the particular container (3) to be labeled, a coordinate system having three coordinate axes (x, y, z) spanning said three-dimensional detection space, and the at least one sensor unit (5, 6) being designed to contactlessly detect the actual position (P) of the label transfer element (2) relative to the peripheral surface (3′) of the container (3) in the three-dimensional detection space. |
