Abstract: A container fixing device for pharmaceutical containers, a weighing station, and an apparatus for processing pharmaceutical containers. The container fixing device includes a main body and two or more fixing elements, each having a fixing member that can be placed onto the container, which elements are secured to the main body and between which elements an interspace is formed to accommodate a container. At least one fixing element is moveable on the main body. A container located in the interspace makes contact with an actuating member of the movable fixing element. The actuating member can transfer from a release position, in which the container can be introduced into and removed from the interspace, into a fixing position, in which the container is fixed by the fixing members. The container can be introduced into the interspace in a transport direction transverse to the actuation direction.

Abstract: An apparatus for closing pharmaceutical containers with closure elements, and a system for processing pharmaceutical containers. The closure elements include a first face and a second face. The apparatus includes a feed unit with a feed path in which closure elements can be fed separately without contacting the first face; a receiving body with a receptacle for the closure element, the closure element being transferrable from the feed path into a receiving position in the receptacle; and a device for turning the receiving body from an initial position into an end position and transferring the closure element from the receiving position into a placed position in which the closure element is positioned on the container or at a distance to the container such that the first face points in the direction of the container interior.

Abstract: A mechanical handling apparatus for pharmaceutical packaging, for example for pharmaceutical containers for syringes, vials, or carpules, and a handling system with such a handling apparatus. The handling apparatus has two or more segments movable relative to one another on at least one joint device, at least one drive device for moving the two or more segments relative to one another, and a handling tool for handling the packaging. The segments have a start segment that is fixed or fixable on a holding apparatus for the handling apparatus, and an end segment on which the handling tool is held or which includes the handling tool. The handling apparatus has at least one line which is guided through at least two segments of the two or more segments and at least one joint device to the handling tool.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing pharmaceutical containers or components of pharmaceutical containers, and a securing device for detachably fastening a format part of an apparatus for processing pharmaceutical containers or components of pharmaceutical containers on a holding part of the apparatus. The format part has at least one container-specific, container-component-specific, or process-specific quality. The securing device includes a first securing element and a second securing element. The first securing element is arranged on or is part of the format part, and the second securing element is arranged on or is part of the holding part. The securing elements include magnetic elements that interact when the interconnected securing elements are in a securing position.
