Method and device for trimming the non-bound edges of bound printed products fed either singly or stacked

摘要

The method involves gripping the products (4-6) with a positioning device (7). The products are then passed to a cutting device (2) by a turning and translatory motion. The cutting of the head and foot edges of two products is done in a single working stroke. One of the printed products may be cut at the head edge and the other at the foot edge, or the cutting of both may be done at the head edge only or at the foot edge only.
