METHOD AND DEVICE FOR EQUIPPING CONTAINERS
First Claim
1. A method for equipping containers with equipping features, the containers, which are situated on at least one transport element of a transport section being moved past at least one processing station of an equipping system in order for each container to be supplied with at least one equipping feature, said method comprising:
- capturing the actual geometry or shape of the containers, at least in areas thereon that are relevant for equipping, andadapting the equipping process to the actual geometry or shape of the containers by controlling and/or regulating and/or adjusting the equipping system and/or the location and/or orientation of the containers.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for equipping containers (2) with equipping features (3), the containers (2), which are situated on at least one transport element (4) of a transport section (7, 4, 12), being moved past at least one processing station (8-12) of an equipping system (20) in order for each container (2) to be supplied with at least one equipping feature (3), characterized in that the actual geometry or shape of the container (2) is detected at least in areas that are relevant for equipping, and the equipping process is then adapted by controlling and/or regulating and/or adjusting the equipping system (20) and/or the location and/or orientation of the container (2) to the detected actual geometry or shape of the container (2).
