Claim 19:
20. An apparatus for inspecting a pharmaceutical cylindrical container made of glass or polymer, the apparatus comprising:
a handling device having a first holder configured to hold a lateral surface of the pharmaceutical cylindrical container, the first holder comprising a first support wheel and a second support wheel, the handling device moves so that the pharmaceutical cylindrical container is transferred from a first transfer position to the inspection area and from the inspection area to a second transfer position; and
a friction wheel, wherein the handling device and/or the friction wheel are configured to rotate the pharmaceutical cylindrical container around a container longitudinal axis,
wherein the first support wheel has a first rotational axis and the second support wheel has a second rotational axis, a first plane being defined through the first rotational axis and the container longitudinal axis, a second plane being defined through the second rotational axis and the container longitudinal axis, and wherein the first and second planes intersect at an angle in a range of 45° to less than 120°, wherein the handling device moves along a first axis, wherein the handling device has a second holder and a third holder, wherein the second holder is configured to move along a second axis and the third holder is configured to move along a third axis, wherein the first axis and the second axis intersect at an angle in a range of 30° to 60° and/or wherein the first axis and the third axis intersect at an angle in a range of 30° to 60°.
