Abstract (en)

Device for aligning containers (2) in relation to a geometric container characteristic comprises a first camera system having cameras (8, 9) for determining the outer and peripheral surface of the containers, a further camera system having cameras (10, 11) for aligning each container for further alignment in a region of the peripheral surface which is narrower than the geometric container characteristic and an electronic unit for further alignment based on image data or characteristic values when deviating from the theoretical position. An independent claim is also included for a labeling machine containing the above aligning device. Preferred Features: A peripheral region of each container of more than 180[deg] is determined using the first camera system.
