Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a quick-change system for exchangeable machine elements, particularly in a container processing machine in which the machine element (E) can be brought into a target position and can be localized in a target position by a securing unit comprising at least one securing element, at least a second securing unit (P 2 ) is provided with which a machine element that either has not been brought into the target position or that has moved out of the target position (X) can be localized in a securing position. The securing position is detected and evaluated as grounds for a corrective action before commencing an operation or during the operating sequence before a corrective action is initiated and executed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A quick-change system for exchangeable machine elements that depend on the product in a machine carrying out an operating sequence, comprising a container processing machine in which a respective machine element when exchanged can be brought into a target position in a holder one of manually and by a changer in an exchange direction and can be localized in the target position by a first securing unit, the first securing unit comprising at least one secu…
