Method and apparatus for the inspection of bottles or similar containers

摘要

The method involves turning a bottle (2) that is conveyed perpendicularly during the transportation on transportation paths (8) with its bottle axis in a level perpendicular to a transportation direction (A). The bottle is moved in the transportation direction to an inspection module. The bottle is optoelectrically inspected in the inspection module using a light source and optoelectric sensor units such as light detector or a camera arrangement. The bottle is arranged between the light source and the sensor unit during the inspection. An independent claim is also included for a device for inspecting a container such as bottle.
