Patent ID: 8055379

Claim:
Arrangement for inspecting filled and closed containers (F), comprising: a transporting means ( 3 ) which transports the containers (F) for a preset distance of travel at a speed of transport VTrans and at which are arranged a plurality of holding elements for the containers (F), the holding elements each being rotatable to set the containers (F) rotating on their longitudinal axes, a control means ( 13 ) which causes the rotation of the containers on their longitudinal axes to be controlled to follow a preset profile of movement (P) which depends on the position of the containers on the distance of travel, the rotation being accelerated to a preset maximum speed of rotation VRot-max in a first preset part (A) of the travel of the containers over the distance of travel and being decelerated in a second preset part (C) of the travel of the containers over the distance of travel, and the preset profile of movement (P) is variable as a function of the speed of transport VTrans of the containers (F), wherein the control means ( 13 ) controls the maximum speed of rotation VRot-max of the containers on their longitudinal axes as a function of the speed of transport VTrans of the containers in the transporting means ( 3 ).
