Abstract

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich im allgemeinen auf den Transport von Exemplaren in einem Falzapparat. In den Ausführungsbeispielen sind mindestens ein Paar miteinander zusammenwirkende Schneidzylinder (6) mit jeweils mindestens einem Schneidmesser (12) und einer Schneidschiene (13) vorgesehen. Eine Förderebene (15) erstreckt sich im wesentlichen in vertikaler Richtung. Der Förderebene (15) sind eine linke und eine rechte Förderanordnung (17, 16) zugeordnet. Die zusammenwirkenden Schneidzylinder (6) sind in die Pfade der Förderelemente (18, 19) der linken und der rechten Förderanordnung (17, 16) integriert und ergreifen eine Materialbahn (1), bevor sie einen Schneidvorgang durchführen.

The present invention relates generally to the transport of copies in a folder. In the exemplary embodiments, at least one pair of interacting cutting cylinders (6), each with at least one cutting knife (12) and one cutting rail (13), are provided. A conveyor plane (15) extends essentially in the vertical direction. A left and a right conveyor arrangement (17, 16) are assigned to the conveyor level (15). The interacting cutting cylinders (6) are integrated in the paths of the conveying elements (18, 19) of the left and right conveying arrangement (17, 16) and grip a material web (1) before they carry out a cutting process.
