Abstract:
1. An apparatus for the shaping of plastics material pre-forms into plastics-material containers, comprising at least one conveying device including a carrier, which conveys the plastics-material pre-forms along a pre-set conveying path; at least one shaping station, which treats the plastics-material pre-forms in a pre-determined manner, at least one exchangeable size part which is capable of being arranged in an exchangeable manner on the carrier, the exchangeable size part being adapted to a shape of the containers; the carrier carrying the at least one exchangeable size part; a first transmitter device arranged on the exchangeable size part, which at least intermittently emits a signal which is characteristic of the first transmitter device; at least one first receiver device for receiving the first signal, wherein the at least one first receiver device is not in mechanical contact with the containers; and a second signal communication device, which emits or receives a second characteristic signal, the first receiver device being designed in such a way that it determines from the first and second signals emitted whether the exchangeable size part arranged on the carrier is in a pre-determined position with respect to the apparatus.
