Abstract
A machine for treating objects having a series of stations (12) whereof each includes a system for gripping (16) a container (11) in a loading point of the path, wherein, between the loading and unloading points, the container (11) is displaced from an initial loading position to at least a treating position then to a final unloading position following the circular path. Each station is provided with a gripping unit (14) comprising at least two grip systems (16), and the gripping unit (14) is mobile relative to the station between at least two positions and, between the loading and unloading of an object, the path followed by the latter has a number of cycles of the circuit ranging between the number of grip systems (16) of each grip unit (14) and the next lower integer.
