Abstract: A device for three-sided trimming of products has a cutter lifting assembly that is operable in a lifting movement that determines a machine cycle of the device. Several cutters, at least for head trimming, foot trimming, and front edge trimming of the products, are mountable on the cutter lifting assembly. The device has a lateral alignment configuration, which is movable at least on one side, for performing a pushing movement against the product, by way of which the product can be brought into a cutting position. The device further includes a device for initiating and/or terminating the pushing movement of the alignment configuration in such a way that the time of initiation and/or the pushing duration of the pushing movement within the cycle duration of the device is independent of the lifting movement of the cutter lifting assembly.

Abstract: A trimmer for trimming brochures has lower blade holders and upper blade holders for top cutting blades and bottom cutting blades lying opposite them. The trimmer further has a guide rail configuration and tensioners by which the lower blade holders can be locked on the guide rail configuration. Accordingly, the tensioners can be actuated from one and the same side of the trimmer. This has an advantageous effect on the time required for changing over the trimmer from one brochure format to another.

Abstract: A device for the three-sided cropping of products, includes a lifting configuration constructed for operating in a stroke movement determining a machine cycle of the device. At least knives for head cropping, foot cropping and front edge cropping of the products are to be mounted on the lifting configuration. A pressing device presses the products before cropping. A device terminates the pressing of the pressing device, in such a way that the pressing duration of the device can be varied.
