Abstract:
1. A device for aligning containers, comprising: rotatable holders for holding and individually rotating the containers; at least two cameras provided along a conveying path for the containers for imaging the containers in a plurality of views differing from one another with respect to the imaged rotary position of the containers, thereby imaging at least one feature of the containers at different object angles and creating different image data of the feature by the cameras; an evaluation unit for determining the position of the features on the surface of the containers on the basis of these views, and the evaluation unit being configured to be capable of determining at least one of the position or the rotary position of the feature of the surface of the container by at least one of mutually calculating and comparing the different image data of the feature in at least two of the views.
