Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the production of blanks made of cardboard or of cardboard-like material and a device suitable for it. An integrated plotter module by which the individual workpieces are positioned in the longitudinal direction by the transfer drive is an important feature.

Abstract: To improve a conventional device for processing blanks made of cardboard so that they have processing lines running not only in the longitudinal and transverse directions, there is provided a processing head that is movable at a distance above the cardboard blank, which can be caused to travel to any point within the outline of the cardboard blank, and that carries a processing tool that can be activated and deactivated, and that can be caused to travel by an EDP system after activation, to any point on the diagonal processing line.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a machine for manufacturing ready-glued, laid-flat folding boxes of cardboard sheets, preferably of corrugated cardboard, wherein, adjoining the folding and gluing station, a downstream counting and ejecting belt is arranged on which the ready-glued, laid-flat folding boxes are counted and re-stacked in the form of an imbricated flow.
