Abstract

The invention relates to a device for removing a closing element from a transport section, in particular a supply section, of a filling and/or closing machine, in particular for the pharmaceutical industry, using a manipulator ( 3 ), the device comprising an end effector ( 2 ), which can be connected to the manipulator ( 3 ) releasably without tools or not releasably without tools for a handling for removing the closing element ( 4 ), and a needle ( 20 ), wherein the end effector ( 2 ) has a holder ( 22 ) on which the needle ( 20 ) is attached and/or which is produced integrally with the needle ( 20 ), and/or wherein the end effector has gripper elements so that the needle ( 20 ) can be gripped by the end effector, and wherein the closing element ( 4 ) can be speared by the needle ( 20 ) and the speared closing element ( 4 ) can be removed from the transport section. The invention further relates to a method for removal of a closing element from the transport section using a needle ( 20 ), and a use of a needle ( 20 ) for removal of a closing element from a transport section of a filling and/or closing machine.
