Claim:
1. A filling machine, comprising: a machine housing, a hopper, a stuffing tube, machine feet, a calculation unit in which measured values pertaining to an actual state of a height and/or an inclination of the filling machine and values pertaining to a target state of the height and/or inclination of the filling machine are stored, where said calculation unit comprises a comparison device for a comparison of the actual state with the target state in terms of the height and/or the inclination of the filling machine, and at least one adjustment element which is adjustable based on the comparison of the actual state to the target state, wherein said calculation unit is configured to calculate on a basis of a deviation between the actual state and the target state how said filling machine must be aligned via appropriate adjustment elements to obtain the target state with respect to the height and/or the inclination of the filling machine, including in which direction and by what magnitude (Δa) said filling machine must be adjusted in height by respective machine feet, and how respective adjustment elements must be adjusted to obtain the target state with respect to the height and/or the inclination of the filling machine, including in what direction and by what magnitude said machine feet of said filling machine must be adjusted in height, and wherein said filling machine comprises at least one measuring device for detecting the actual state with respect to the height and/or the inclination of the filling machine and/or an input device for entering measured values of the height and/or the inclination pertaining to the actual state of the filling machine.
