Abstract
When drinking straws are fastened to packs, it is particularly difficult to press the drinking straws precisely onto glue spots previously applied to the packs. For this purpose, it is proposed to determine the position of the packs on their conveyor and then actuate the glue applicator device or a press-on means for drinking straws when this point of the conveyor has been reached and consequently the pack has arrived in front of the glue applicator device or the straw press-on means. Alternatively, the control is determined by measuring the position and speed of the particular pack to be processed.
