Patent number: 8444131Abstract: The sheet transporting device of the invention includes: a transferring device (64) adapted to transfer a sheet (30), a conveying device (66; 66A) for conveying a sheet transferred from the transferring device (64) onto the conveying device, and a controlling means (76) adapted to control the speed of the conveying device (66; 66A) and defining a transfer cycle (CT). The controlling means (76) is adapted to slow down the conveying device (66) when a sheet is conveyed by the related conveying device and to accelerate the conveying device when no sheet is present on said conveying device. The invention can be used for the cutting devices of rotary printing machines.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2009Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignees: Goss International Montataire SA, Vits Print GmbHInventors: François Poiret, Christophe Noiret, Alain Blanchard, Jean-François Robert, François Vidaillac, Nicolas Rousseau, Eric Pierda, Detlef Milkereit

Publication number: 20110172074Abstract: A method adapted for a chopper folder, including a pair of parallel folding rollers defining between them an interstice, a mobile folding blade to force a flat product in the interstice, a means for adjusting the gap between the two folding rollers and a device for controlling the adjustment device. According to the method of the invention, at the beginning of a new production, the controller implements a production beginning mode, wherein it controls the means for adjusting the gap for the adjustment of the gap at a determined reference value, then a production mode, wherein it controls the means for adjusting for a gap adapted to the new production at a steady state.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2011Publication date: July 14, 2011Applicant: GOSS INTERNATIONAL MONTATAIRE SAInventors: Thierry Vauchelle, Franck Chagnon, Jerome Peres, Eric Pierda
