Abstract

Es wird ein Verschließwerkzeug (5,105,205,305) für eine Verschließmaschine zum Aufbringen eines Verschlusses (2) auf einen Behälter beschrieben, wobei mit Hilfe einer Greifeinrichtung (7,107,207,307) eine Haltekraft auf den Verschluss aufgebracht wird. Für eine universelle Ausgestaltung des Verschließwerkzeuges wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Greifeinrichtung mit einer Magnetbetätigung (11,111,211,311), insbesondere mit Permanentmagneten, zum Aufbringen der Haltekraft versehen ist.

Figure imgaf001
A closing tool (5, 105, 205, 305) is described for a closing machine for applying a closure (2) to a container, wherein a holding force is applied to the closure with the aid of gripping means (7, 107, 207, 307). For a universal design of the closing tool, it is proposed that the gripping device be provided with a magnetic actuation (11, 11, 21, 11, 31), in particular with permanent magnets, for applying the holding force.
