Abstract
A device for processing drinks closure caps having at least one cutting unit with at least one cutting blade and a detection unit which, in turn, has a camera as well as at least one conveying device forming a transport path to and from the cutting unit is disclosed. In order to solve the problems of known devices, the detection unit has an optical system and is arranged operatively downstream of the cutting unit such that it fully captures the inner wall of a drinks closure cap located in its field of vision.
Claims14
A device for processing drinks closure caps (1), comprising at least one cutting unit (2) with at least one cutter (3), and a detection unit (7) which, for its part, comprises a camera (8), as well as at least one conveying means (6) forming a transport path (5) to and from the cutting unit (2), wherein the detection unit (7) comprises such an optical system (9), characterized in that the detection unit (7) is operatively arranged downstream of the cutting unit (2) such that it fully detects the inner walls (10) of a drinks closure cap (1) located in its field of vision.
