1. A device for reshaping a rotating glass intermediate comprising:
at least one shaping roller, which is translationally displaceable into a shape-rolling contact with the glass intermediate for shaping,
at least one linear motor for the translational positioning of the at least one shaping roller, wherein the shaping roller directly follows a translational positioning movement of a translator of the linear motor, and
at least one measuring system with an optical measuring unit and a measuring strip for measuring the translational positioning movement of the translator, wherein the measuring unit or the measuring strip is fixedly connected to the translator in such a way that the measuring unit or the measuring strip directly follows the translational positioning movement of the translator, wherein an optical signal is projected from the measuring unit onto the measuring strip.
