Abstract: The packaging machine comprises a supply unit for holding and providing a plurality of package goods or packaging materials. A display device assigned to the supply unit is configured to display at least one optical marking, which is indicative of a fill level of the supply unit and is different from an alphanumeric display. The at least one optical marking is variably adaptable as a result of at least one process parameter different from the fill level in a way that an assignment of the at least one optical marking to a certain degree of the fill level of the supply unit is changeable. A control unit, which communicates with the display device, is configured to adapt the at least one optical marking as a function of the at least one process parameter different from the fill level.

Abstract: The device for dividing a transport stream consisting of one line of successively arranged upright containers into two partial transport streams, each partial transport stream consisting of one line of successively arranged upright containers, has a feed device for conveying the transport stream of containers, and two distribution lines arranged at an angle to each other, each of which serves to accept one of the partial transport streams of containers in a transfer area of the feed device, the feed device and the two distribution lines thus forming a Y-shaped intersection in the transfer area. At least one driven roller with a substantially vertical axis of rotation is arranged between the two distribution lines in the transfer area of the feed device.

Abstract: A device for delivering bulk material consisting of individual products has a supply container for storing the bulk material of individual products, the supply container having a product outlet. A perforated plate is arranged downstream of the product outlet of the supply container on a base stand. The perforated plate serves to receive the individual products from the product outlet and to move them further in a transport direction while removing broken products and dust. A bulk material leveler formed as a leveler strip rotatable around a pivot axis is arranged downstream of the product outlet above the perforated plate.

A perforated plate is arranged downstream of the product outlet of the supply container on a base stand and serves to receive the individual products from the product outlet and to move them further in a transport direction while removing broken products and dust. A clamping strip is supported and removably fixed in a motion guideway of a motion guideway carrier mounted on the base stand. The motion guideway extends at an angle to a vertical direction. The clamping strip thus removably fixes the perforated plate to the base stand.

Abstract: The device for delivering bulk material has a supply container having a product outlet with an outlet opening which has a rectangular shape. Further, is has a perforated plate having a hole-free product inlet surface arranged underneath the product outlet of the supply container. The perforated plate serves to receive individual products from the product outlet and to move them further in a transport direction while removing broken products and dust. The hole-free product inlet surface of the perforated plate has a surface width in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction and the outlet opening of the product outlet of the supply container has an opening width in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction, the opening width corresponding to 60-95% of the surface width.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for transporting and rotating sheet-form print material. A rotation unit carried on a transport unit is moveable along a carriage guide. A gripper on the rotation unit holds the sheet form print material. Mechanical interaction between the rotation unit and the carriage guide causes the gripper to rotate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus (100) for securing stacks of sheet-shaped materials during a rotary movement, whereby the rotation occurs around an axis of rotation (M) that is parallel to the outside edges of the sheet-shaped materials, with a first and a second clamping jaw (10, 11) that has a drive, whereby the an apparatus is mounted in such a way that the rotation can be carried out in an angular range of essentially 360°.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (60) for securing stacks of sheet-shaped materials (1) during a rotary movement around an axis of rotation (R) with a first and second clamping jaw (10, 11) that have a drive (70), whereby the first and second clamping jaws (10, 11) are mounted such that the stack of sheet-shaped materials is always aligned to half its stack thickness (D). The invention also relates to a method for handling stacks of sheet-shaped materials (1), especially within a device (1000) for binding the stack of sheet-shaped materials (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for transporting and centrally aligning stacks of sheet-shaped materials. According various aspects of the invention, methods and devices are provided for transporting stacks of sheet-shaped print materials in a transport from a location misaligned with a reference axis to another location while aligning a center of a stack thickness with the reference axis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for handling flat wire binding element preforms, whereby the wire binding element preforms represent wire binding element semi-finished products. These types of wire binding elements are typically used in binding devices for loose binding of brochures consisting of several sheet-shaped materials using wire comb binding. According to various aspects of the invention, methods and devices are provided for accepting a flat wire binding element preform from a feed, transporting the flat wire binding element preform, and inserting the flat wire binding element preforms into a row of perforations in a stack of sheet-shaped print materials.
