Benefits of technology

The patent describes a handling device for exchanging working tools and adapting the format parts of a container treatment system. The device is mobile and can be used in different locations or working areas of the system. It includes a display for communicating the necessary information to operators and a sensor to detect defective tools. The device can also continuously exchange tools while production continues, improving efficiency and lowering costs. The technical effects of this invention include improved efficiency, flexibility, and lower costs.

Problems solved by technology

For most of the time, these exchange devices thus remain unused and stand in the way, taking up space and increasing the overall dimensions of the facility.
The user needs one or more of these exchange devices for each module, resulting in high acquisition costs for the modules.

Abstract

A container treatment system (1, 13) that has at least two working areas (AP). Each of the working areas (AP) respectively comprises at least one exchangeable working tool (2) and / or one adaptable format part. Furthermore, the container treatment system (1, 13) comprises at least one handling device (10) which is movable, in particular drivable, to the at least two working areas (AP), which handling device (10) can be connected selectively to any of the respective working areas (AP), in particular using centering means (22, 32), and which handling device (10) comprises tools for exchanging the working tools (2) and / or for adapting the format parts of the respective working area (AP). The invention further relates to a handling (10) device for exchanging working tools (2) and / or for adapting the format parts of at least two different working areas (AP) of a container treatment system (1, 13).

Description

CLAIM OF PRIORITY[0001]The present application is a national stage application under §371 of PCT / EP2012 / 069054, filed on Sep. 27, 2012, which in turn claims priority to DE 10 2011 054 890.4, filed on Oct. 28, 2011, are incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a container treatment system and a handling device having the features of the preambles of the claims.BACKGROUND[0003]Large-sized filling and / or packaging lines usually comprise a plurality of container treatment modules, for instance modules for producing containers or bottles, or for filling, closing, labeling them, etc. The individual modules need to be converted depending on the product to be manufactured. In particular, it is necessary to exchange certain working tools and / or to adapt format parts to the new product. For converting the filling and / or packaging line from product number 1 to product number 2, for instance, in order to produce a new container form, it may be neces...
