Method of, and apparatus for, processing a moving, printed material web

摘要

A method and apparatus of moving printed material web includes two processing arrangements arranged one above the other that are optional in operation. A material web is processed either in the upper, first processing arrangement or in the lower, second processing arrangement. In the processing section belonging to the first processing arrangement, the material web is folded about a line parallel to its advancement direction. In the processing section belonging to the second processing arrangement, the material web is separated, along a line parallel to its advancement direction, into two material-web strands, which are then positioned one above the other. The two processing sections having in common a pair of braking rollers and a pair of drawing rollers and also a longitudinal-cutter.

主权项

1. A method of processing a printed material web moving in an advancement direction in a processing apparatus, the method comprising:
deciding whether to guide the printed material web through one of a first processing section and a second processing section of the processing apparatus; guiding the printed material web based on the decision through either the first processing section, where the printed material web is longitudinally folded about a folding line parallel to the advancement direction or the second processing section, where the printed material web is separated, by longitudinal cutting along at least one line parallel to the advancement direction, the printed material web being cut into at least two material-web strands, which are then positioned one above the other, wherein the first processing section and second processing section are arranged as an upper processing section and a lower processing section, one of the first processing section and the second processing section above the other.
