Treatment machine for treating packaging means

摘要

The invention relates to a device for treating packaging means, particularly in the form of bottles and similar containers, comprising a conveying element that can be used to move the packaging means past at least one treatment module provided on at least one operating position, which module can be coupled to and decoupled from the treatment position, and mechanical coupling and/or centering means determining the position of the at least one treatment module after docking. The invention is characterized in that, in order to detect possible deviations of the treatment module coupled to the treatment machine from the target position, and/or to realign the coupled treatment module into the target position, at least one optical centering and adjusting means is provided, some of the functional elements of which are provided on the treatment module, and some are provided on the treatment machine.

主权项

1. An apparatus for treating packages, said apparatus comprising a treatment machine having a conveying element for moving packages; a treatment module provided at an operating position of said conveying element, said treatment module being configured to be docked with and undocked from said treatment machine at said operating position; a mechanical coupling and/or centering element to determine a position of said treatment module after docking with said treatment machine; and an optical centering and adjusting element for detecting deviations in a position of a docked treatment module from a target position and/or for readjusting said docked treatment module, said optical centering and adjusting element including a pair of functional elements, one of which is provided on said treatment module and another of which is provided on said treatment machine, wherein said optical centering and adjusting element comprises a laser beam-based adjusting element having a laser beam source for generating a laser beam.
