Publication number: 20240399775Abstract: The invention relates, inter alia, to a device for marking containers for a container treatment system. The device has a container conveyor for transporting the containers. The device has a coupling unit, a labeling module, and a laser-marking module. The labeling module and the laser-marking module can be interchangeably coupled to the coupling unit. Advantageously, the device can be used particularly flexibly, because the labeling module and the laser-marking module can be coupled to the same coupling unit, so that the device can be used flexibly and as required for labeling with the labeling module or for laser-marking with the laser-marking module.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Florian LAUTERBACH, Helmut SCHNEIDER, Juergen FRANKERL, Peter LINDNER, Andreas KRAUS, Soeren MEISSNER, Bernd BRAATZ, Josef MAYER
