METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SEPARATING INDIVIDUAL SECTIONS OF MATERIAL ACCORDING TO A CERTAIN FORMAT, FROM A STRIP-LIKE OBJECT, AND VARIABLE FOLDING SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH DEVICE

摘要

The method involves separating material sections (11) from a printed object web (1) i.e. paper web, using cutting units e.g. cutting tool carrier (5) and cutting knife (7), and removing the material sections from the cutting units. Driving elements (4, 6) are engaged with the web during actuation of the cutting units. The driving elements are displaced together with an object strip over a displacement course by a controllable linear drive after cutting process. The displacement course is adjusted and/or varied by the linear drive based on a section format pre-defined for the material sections. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a device for separating a material section from a strip-like printed object web (2) a device for creasing a material section.
