A SYSTEM FOR THE ANGULAR ORIENTATION AND DETECTION OF CONTAINERS IN LABELLING MACHINES

摘要

The present invention relates to a system for the angular orientation and detection of containers in labelling machines comprising a rotating turntable (4) for the handling of said containers (6), said turntable (4) being provided with a plurality of motor-driven pans (5) which support and handle said containers (6), the system (1) comprising optical sensing means (2) for acquiring images of the said containers (6) and illuminating means (7) for illuminating the said containers (6) or part thereof, characterised in that the said optical sensing means (2) and the said illuminating means (7) are positioned in different radial configurations with respect to the said turntable (4) in such a way that the optical sensing means (2) are positioned externally and the illuminating means (7) are positioned internally with respect to the turntable (4), or viceversa, and in that the illuminating means (7) lie on a substantially vertically translated plane with respect to the plane of the optical sensing means (2).
