Device and method for the transfer of container fittings

Device for the transfer of container fittings, comprising at least two gripper units offset in the circumferential direction around a transfer axis of a transfer station, each gripper unit being able to be activated in a clocked manner,

• wherein each gripper unit takes over from a feeder, via a movement around the transfer axis generated via an electric servomotor, at least one container fitting individually from a moving take-over position and transfers the container fitting through the transfer station to a moving hand-over position offset in the circumferential direction of the transfer station with respect to the take-over position, the gripper units are arranged such that they move around the transfer axis relative to one another and drive motors are provided in the transfer station for the gripper units that can be moved relative to one another, the transfer station comprising the electric servomotors as drive motors of the gripper units for generating within one full revolution of each gripper unit individually periodically non-uniform movements of the gripper units can be generated in the circumferential direction, wherein each gripper unit comprises, as at least one assembly, an anvil strip, at least one pressure pad, and at least one gripper finger at a location along the anvil strip, wherein the gripper finger is movable between a gripping position and a release position relative to the anvil strip when the gripper unit is activated.
