Problems solved by technology

[0010] The latter situation is particularly problematic because usually only a relatively small angle of rotational movement of the rotor is available for orientation and therefore only a short time interval, especially at high efficiencies, so that relatively high rotational accelerations or angular acceleration for orientation

Embodiment Construction

[0018] exist figure 2 A labeling machine of rotary construction generally characterized by 1 is used for labeling bottles 2, i.e. for applying labels 3 to On the circumference of bottle 2. This geometrical feature 4 is, in the illustrated embodiment, an imprinted surface, in the middle of which the corresponding label 3 should be located precisely.

[0019] The application of the label 3 should be carried out with the highest possible precision with respect to the geometrical features 4 , which can also have other configurations, for example in the form of decorative patterns, embossments or other raised text on the outer surface.

[0020] The bottles 2 to be labeled are conveyed to the labeling machine 1 vertically, ie with their bottle or container axis oriented in the vertical direction, via a conveyor 5 in a single bottle flow to the labeling machine 1, and then through the conveying star wheel which serves as the bottle or container inlet 6 respectively to a bottle car...

Abstract

In a method for the positionally accurate application of labels (3) on bottles, cans or similar containers in relation to at least one container-typical design feature (4), the container-typical design feature of each container (2) which is moved past at least one camera (15) on a transport element (8) is detected using at least one image detection and processing system by way of said camera. The orientation and / or the actual form of the container-typical design feature on each container are / is detected by way of the image detection and processing system (4, 15) and the transfer instant of the label to the respective container is controlled from this in such a way that the label is positioned there in an optimum manner in relation to the design feature after the application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 for applying labels to bottles or similar containers and a labeling machine according to the preamble of claim 16 for carrying out this method. Background technique [0002] Bottles or similar containers are known which have typical configurational features of containers, for example typical geometrical features on their outer surface such as imprinted surfaces, decorations, indentations, raised characters and the like. When labeling these containers, it is necessary to apply the relevant label with high adhesion accuracy relative to the typical configuration features of the container, specifically also with the smallest possible size, for example within ± With an error in the range of 0.5mm, the efficiency can reach, for example, 60,000 labeled containers per hour. [0003] Methods are known in which the containers fed to the container carrier of the labeling machine's rotor drive...
