Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a device for capturing the rotary position (D) of at least one rotary device ( 4 ) provided for receiving a container ( 3 ) by means of at least one sensor unit ( 5 ), wherein the rotary device ( 4 ) is provided for driving the container ( 3 ) about a rotary axis (DA), and the at least one sensor unit ( 5 ) is advantageously designed for non-contact capturing of the rotary position (D) of the rotary device ( 4 ) relative to the rotary axis (DA).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus for printing on containers, said apparatus comprising a first machine part, a second machine part that moves relative to said first machine part, a plurality of electrically-controllable printing heads arranged on said first machine part, each of said printing heads, in operation, engaging in the action of printing one of a corresponding plurality of images directly on a container that is rotating about an axis thereof while said container…
