Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile robot, to a supply system, and to a method for changing label rolls on a labeling assembly for labeling containers. The mobile robot accordingly comprises a vehicle unit for changing locations of the robot and a manipulator unit with a multi-axle manipulator and an associated end effector for manipulating label rolls. Because the end effector is designed to grip the outer circumference of the label rolls and emptied roll cores of label rolls so as to carry them, ergonomically problematic work steps when introducing label rolls can be accomplished exclusively by machine with a high degree of precision and in a material-saving manner.

Abstract: Apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers with a transport device which transports the plastic preforms along a predefined transport path, wherein the transport device has a movable station carrier on which a plurality of forming stations are arranged, wherein these forming stations each have blow-moulding devices, each forming cavities within which the plastic preforms can be formed into plastic containers, and the blow-moulding devices are arranged on respective blow-mould carriers, wherein the apparatus has a clean room inside which the plastic preforms can be formed into the plastic containers, isolated from a non-sterile environment by at least one wall. The apparatus has a change device which is suitable and intended for at least removing the blow-moulding devices from their blow-mould carriers and/or arranging blow-moulding devices on the blow-mould carriers, wherein this change device is integrated in a module which can be separated from the clean room.

Abstract: A system for producing plastic containers with a heating device for heating plastic preforms, wherein the heating device has a transport device for transporting plastic preforms along a predetermined first transport path, and a plurality of holding devices for holding the plastic preforms and at least one heating device which heats the plastic preforms during the transport thereof and comprising a forming device for forming the plastic preforms to form plastic containers. The forming device is configured for expanding the plastic preforms heated by the heating device by applying a flowable medium, and includes a plurality of forming stations which form the plastic preforms to form the plastic containers. Both the heating device and the forming device have changeable elements, wherein the system has a changing device configured for changing both changeable elements of the heating device and changeable elements of the forming device.
