Abstract: An apparatus and method for webbing-up a printing substrate web or a partial web in the regions of a web-fed rotary printing press without an automatic webbing-up device, is disclosed. A webbing-up aid includes a threading tip for manually threading the webbing-up aid along a web path being webbed-up, a clamping piece for clamping one end of the printing substrate web or partial web being webbed-up, and a cable-like connecting element positioned between the threading tip and the clamping piece. The clamping piece includes two magnetic clamping sections that can be pivoted relative to each other, between which the end of the printing substrate web or the partial web being webbed-up can be clamped. The threading tip is also embodied to be magnetic so that when the webbing-up aid is being threaded, the threading tip can be can be placed on metallic or metallized web guide elements.

Abstract: A turner bar assembly of a web-fed printing press is disclosed. The turner bar assembly includes at least one turner bar, which is mounted so that it is translatorily movable on a linear guide and can be acted upon with blast air. The blast air flows through the linear guide in such a way that the blast air can be conveyed to the respective turner bar via the linear guide.

Abstract: A turner assembly for a web-fed rotary press includes a plurality of turner bars, wherein at least one web of a web-like printed material is introduced into the turner assembly in an entry direction. Slitters arranged upstream of the turner bars in the entry direction of the printed material cut the web into partial webs which are turned and deflected on the turner bars such that turned partial webs are led out of the turner assembly in an exit direction. At least one turner bar is assigned to each partial web and is individually moved in the entry direction such that each of the partial webs are fed to one of several formers or folder superstructures, depending on the position of the corresponding turner bar or each corresponding turner bar.
