METHOD, DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING TRANSPORT MEANS IN A MATERIAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM OF A WEB-FED PRINTING PRESS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for controlling transport means (03; 03.1; 03.2) in a material transport system (01) of a web-fed printing press, wherein the transport means (03; 03.1; 03.2) is moved along a transport path (02), wherein information is read from an information carrier (24) by a reading unit (17) at least at one or at a plurality of control points on the transport path (02). The information carrier (24) is arranged on the transport means (03; 03.1; 03.2) and is carried along by the latter. At least as viewed in the transport direction, an unambiguous relative position between the information which is fixed to the transport means and the reading unit (17) which is arranged in the region of the relevant control point is determined by the reading unit (17) and/or detection and/or evaluation software which is assigned to said reading unit (17).
