Embodiment Construction

[0010] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the system for orienting and detecting containers of the present invention, generally designated by the reference numeral 1 , will now be described.

[0011] The system 1 comprises four cameras 2 or other optical devices for acquiring images, which are geometrically arranged on the vertices of a square so as to be oriented in pairs along the diagonals of the square. These cameras 2 are accommodated in pairs in a housing 3, preferably made of metallic material, but at least in the field of view of the cameras 2, with walls made of transparent material, preferably anti-theft glass.

[0012] Two housings 3 are arranged respectively inside and outside a turntable 4 for handling the containers and having a plurality of motor-driven disks 5 supporting and operating the containers 6 . The housing is arranged such that each container 6 will pass through the intersection of the diagonals connecting the pairs of cameras 2 during travel...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for the angular orientation and detection of containers being processed in labelling machines. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system (1, 101) for the detection and angular orientation of containers (6) in labelling machines comprising a rotating turntable (4) for the handling of said containers (6), said turntable (4) being providedwith a plurality of motor-driven pans (5, 105) which support and handle said containers (6), characterized in that it comprises four image acquisition optical means (2, 102), said four optical means (2, 102) being controlled so as to acquire a set of four images which replicate the container (6) image throughout perimeter thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system for angular orientation and detection of containers processed in a labeling machine. Background technique [0002] Labeling operations on containers in high-speed automatic labeling machines presents the problem of correctly positioning labels. Such machines typically include a turntable on which are mounted a plurality of trays that support and operate the containers to be labeled with jacks that engage the upper ends of the containers, thereby maintaining the containers in an upright position on the trays. The disc is motor driven, allowing the disc itself and the container supported on the disc to rotate about the vertical axis of the disc. This operation is used in labeling applications where the label is wrapped around the side surface of the container during the rotation of the container. Contents of the invention [0003] In a machine operating at high speed as described herein, angular orientation of the co...
