Abstract: Disclosed is a method for inspecting sealing between a closure arranged on a mouth region of a container by performing a screwing-on operation on a mouth region of the container while the container is transported along a transport path, and during transport illuminating the containers by a lighting device and recording at least one spatially resolved image of the container. An image evaluation device determines, on the basis of the relative position depicted in the at least one spatially resolved image, at least one closure rotation angle by which the closure was rotated in the course of the performed screwing—in operation, a characteristic closure rotation angle variable.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for inspecting containers provided with closures for checking a sealing function between the closure and a container provided therewith in order to check the sealing function, the at least one spatially resolved image is recorded by the at least one image recording device in such a way that, viewed in the closure direction, a relative position of the closure with respect to the container provided therewith is depicted, and an image evaluation device determines, on the basis of the relative position depicted in the at least one spatially resolved image, at least one sealing variable that is characteristic of performing the sealing function.

Abstract: Provided is a method for inspecting containers with closures. The closures have a cap portion, a circumferential edge extending around the mouth of the containers, and a rotationally symmetrical element arranged in a region of the mouth of the containers. The closure ends in a longitudinal direction of the container above the rotationally symmetrical element. The containers are transported along a transport path by a transport device, and the mouth regions of the containers are transported with the closures which are illuminated by an illumination device. At least one image recording device records at least two spatially resolved images of a portion of the circumferential edge and rotationally symmetrical element and of the mouth regions of the containers provided with the closures. A value is derived from the images of relative position of the closure to the container and the information and/or value is corrected relative to a position of the rotationally symmetrical element.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for inspecting containers, wherein the containers are transported along a predetermined transport path using a transport device and are inspected using an inspection device, wherein the inspection device records at least one spatially resolved image of a container to be inspected using an image recording device and an image evaluation device evaluates this image. According to the invention, data of a model of this container are used to evaluate this image.

Abstract: A method for inspecting containers with closures with a cap portion and a circumferential edge extending around the mouth of the containers. The containers are transported along a transport path by a transport device. During transport, the mouth regions of the containers with closures are illuminated by an illumination device, and at least one image recording device records at least one image of the mouth regions of the containers with closures, and records at least one spatially resolved image of a portion of the circumferential edge and one structure on the circumferential edge is detected, and, at least one value of this structure, a value characteristic of a relative position of the closure relative to the container and/or relative to the rotationally symmetrical element and/or of the closure is determined.
