Abstract: A gripping system for gripping a label roll with a ring-shaped roll core. The gripping system has an inner gripper which has a plurality of inner clamping jaws which are arranged distributed in a circumferential direction around a central axis of the gripping system and can be moved radially with respect to the central axis to grip the inside of the label roll on an inner circumferential face of the annular roll core. The gripping system further has at least one distance sensor, which is arranged for detecting a distance between the gripping system and the label roll.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a printing machine for direct printing on containers, comprising: a continuously rotatable carousel for conveying the containers, a plurality of printing units, and stationary docking stations for docking the printing units to the periphery of the carousel. Due to the fact that the printing machine comprises rail guides stationarily associated with the docking stations and used for separately moving the printing units from a docked-on operating position outwards to a maintenance position spaced apart from the carousel, and back again, the printing units can easily be made accessible from several sides for maintenance and they can be locked quickly and reproducibly at their operating position.

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.
