Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a filling plant having a plurality of machines, each of which is configured to perform operating functions on the basis of a respective set of commands, and a central control device that is configured to control the operating functions of the plurality of machines. Furthermore, the filling plant comprises a graphical user interface, which is configured to communicate with the central control device and to provide a user with graphically supported programming of the central control device.

Abstract: A method for controlling a machine block comprising a blow-moulding machine for producing bottles and comprising a filler for filling a liquid product into bottles, and a corresponding machine block. Accordingly, the blow-moulding machine comprises an electronic blow-moulding machine controller and an even number of circulating blow-moulding stations, and the filler comprises an electronic filler controller and an even number of circulating filling stations. Since the blow-moulding machine controller specifies a division selection, and the filler controller automatically selects, on the basis of the division selection, one of several filler operating modes all of the machine controllers in the region of the machine block can be instructed in a superordinate manner by the blow-moulding machine controller to automatically adjust the respective operating mode.

Abstract: A labelling apparatus for the labelling of containers includes at least one first labelling device, a storage device and a control device. The at least one first labelling device applies a label from a first strip of labels to a container. The control device controls the labelling of the containers based on a detection result of a first detection device which detects a pattern of containers and container-absence points in a supply flow of the containers to the first labelling device, and/or on the basis of a detection result of a second detection device which detects a filling state of the labels in the storage device. The control interrupts the labelling of the container if the first detection device detects a pre-determined pattern of containers and container-absence points and/or if the second detection device detects a pre-determined filling state of the labels in the storage device.

Abstract: A device and a method for the handling of containers with a plurality of handling units recognize a defective state in a handling element situated downstream and, as a reaction to this recognition, a specified container conveyed upstream is separated out, namely preferably that container which in the further course of operation would arrive at the handling element known to be operating defectively.

Abstract: A bottle treatment system having a safety unit that improves the operational process, including a first accessible safety region, a second accessible safety region and a shut-off device. The first safety region is delimited by a first protection in which a first machine has a drive associated with the first protective region. The second accessible protective region is delimited by a second protection direction following the first protection, with a second machine having at least one further drive associated to the second protective region. A bottle transport from the first machine to the second machine is provided via a transport device, as provided with an individual drive and exceeds the protective region. The shut-off device turns off the machine drive associated with at least one of the respective protective regions and the drive of the transport device exceeding the protective region, if access to protective region is detected.

Abstract: A method for checking container closures with a checking means, including passing the container closures by the checking means by means of a conveyor medium without isolating the container closures upstream of the checking means, and checking the container closures with the checking means.

Abstract: A labelling apparatus (20) for the labelling of containers (2) is provided, which comprises at least one first labelling device (22), a storage device and a control device (24). The at least one first labelling device (22) is used for applying a label from a first strip of labels to a container (2).

Abstract: A device and a method for the handling of containers with a plurality of handling units. In the case of the device according to the invention and in the case of the method according to the invention a defective state in a handling element situated downstream is recognized and as a reaction to this recognition a specified container conveyed upstream is separated out, namely preferably that container which in the further course of operation would arrive at the handling element known to be operating defectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved water-dispersible polyisocyanates intended more particularly for two-component polyurethane coating materials.

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for preparing water-emusifiable polyisocyanate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to coating compositions which comprise 2,4?-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane, to processes for preparing them, and to their use.

Abstract: The invention concerns a microswitch for a coaxial plug and socket connector with a contact spring and a mating contact, wherein the contact spring is a cross-shaped leaf spring.

Abstract: An electrical plug connector assembly includes a socket connector and a plug connector. The socket connector includes a housing within which a U-shaped contact spring physically contacts a fixed contact part to establish an electrical connection. The U-shaped contact spring is disposed horizontally within the housing, in such a way that an imagined bending axis of the U-shaped contact spring lies parallel to the plug direction. The horizontal arrangement of the U-shaped contact spring within the housing makes it possible for the socket connector to have a relatively flat structure. A preferred application of such a plug connector unit is within a mobile telephone.
