Abstract: The invention is directed to a device for sidewise shifting and positioning of a tool in a slotting station situated within a machine used for processing sheet-like workpieces. The station includes a creasing tool, a counter tool, which are mounted on a first pair of vertical, arranged horizontally extending shafts, a slotting tool and counterpart, both fitted on a second pair of shafts arranged downstream of the first pair, a master plate being held in the transfer direction of the workpiece by two crosswise shafts, one of which is for guiding and the other is for shifting the master plate on the guiding shift, the plate having an arrangement for gripping each of the upper tools of the pairs of tools, which arrangement includes an arrangement for laterally shifting the arrangement for one of the two tools relative to the master plate while holding the tool simultaneously fully parallel to the master plate.

Abstract: In a machine for successively processing cardboard sheets running through a printing machine having more than one printing station, the active parts of each of the printing stations being mounted on a vertical slide in the machine frame with an arrangement for lifting the parts from a working position to either a standby or a preparatory position with the printing cylinder of each station being out of engagement with the sheet being carried by a conveyor arrangement through the machine. This will allow easy access to the printing cylinder. The machine includes a shiftable guide or shutter, which can be moved to a position beneath the printing cylinder when the cylinder is raised from the working position to guide the sheet passing through the station which is not in a working mode.
