Abstract: The invention relates to a cable fixing device for a container handling system and to a method for setting a minimum bending radius for a connecting cable of a container handling system. The cable fixing device comprises a main body, a cable guide which is arranged around a part of the main body, and a cover for covering an end of the cable guide in such a way that a connecting cable, which is pre-assembled with plug-in devices at both ends, can be introduced between the cover and the cable guide. The cable guide is configured at its other end for fixing of the connecting cable in such a way that a looping angle of the cable fixing device and connecting cable can be set variably.

Abstract: The invention relates to a labeling machine, a printing machine, an inspection machine, and a method for starting up such a machine. The machine comprises at least two container receptacles, each of which has a rotary plate with a rotary plate direct drive device, and a bus unit for connecting the at least one container receptacle to a bus of a bus system in order to communicate with at least one component of an additional container handling machine or an additional component of the labeling machine and/or printing machine and/or inspection machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container handling machine comprising at least one container receiver having a rotary plate and comprising a rotary plate direct drive for driving the rotary plate, wherein the rotary plate direct drive comprises a motor which is designed with a stator, a rotor, a shaft joined to the rotor for transmitting a drive torque to the rotary plate and with a shaft sealing system for sealing the shaft, wherein the shaft sealing system comprises a running surface and at least one counteractive sealing lip, wherein the shaft is designed as one piece at least from the rotor and through the shaft sealing system, and in that the running surface is joined to the shaft for conjoint rotation and in a manner such that it is decoupled from the transmission of the drive torque.

Abstract: Disclosed is a rotary table machine for container treatment, comprising a carousel with container receptacles for conveying containers, wherein the container receptacles are arranged at a regular spacing along a circular path about an axis of rotation of the carousel by means of a machine pitch, characterized in that the carousel and a rotary transducer are connected via a transmission such that, when the carousel rotates about a machine pitch, the rotary transducer emits and/or processes a whole-number multiple of a periodic value increment as a position signal, a signal transmitter is designed to detect a reference mark on the carousel and for emitting a reference mark signal on the basis thereof, and a signal processing device is designed to process the position signal and the reference mark signal in order to regulate the position of the carousel and to control the container receptacles.

Abstract: A device, and related method for controlling the device, for labeling containers with a container conveyor, having at least one container rotation device to rotate a container in a first direction about an axis, in a second direction about this axis in the opposite direction or not to rotate this container, with at least two labeling stations each with a labeling assembly and a pressing-on device, with a control device generating control commands for the container rotation device based on activity information of the labeling stations. In the region of an inactive labeling station, the container rotation device is rotated in the first direction, so that a container of the container rotation device can roll onto the pressing-on device and in the region of an active labeling station, the container device is rotated in the second direction, so that a label applied to the container can be pressed on.
