Abstract: A sheet combining device includes at least one former, at least one longitudinal cutter, and at least two partial web guide routes. A respective partial sheet of partial cut webs can be conveyed on each of the at least two partial web guide routes. These sheets can be combined to form a principal sheet at an exit of the sheet combining device. A stapler is provided on one of the at least two partial web guide routes and is used to staple the partial sheet which is conveyed on that guide route.

Abstract: A device is used for at least one of treating and conveying a strip of material in one of a treating and processing machine. The device includes at least one strip-treating tool which is embodied in the form of a folding cone, and one strip-treating tool which is provided as a knife. The knife and the folding cone are both transversely displaceable in the direction of travel of the strip of material by the operation of a regulating element.

Abstract: At least one unit of a web-machinery, or a web-processing machine is pre-adjusted in a method which influences a longitudinal register. An adjustment value is derived for that at least one unit based on previously-obtained data. The adjustment value is stored in a machine control unit.

Abstract: A device for providing folded products utilizes a funnel-shaped structure that consists of at least two funnels that are usable for providing two longitudinally folded strands or webs. A register device is usable for adjusting a path of at least one of the strands or webs between the funnel and the entrance to a folding machine. The register device can be associated with both of the strands or webs.

Abstract: A device is used for producing folded products from sheets or partial sheets. The folding device includes a folding assembly that is provided with at least three forming hoppers which are aligned in a staggered and horizontal manner relative to one another, and laterally in the direction of sheet movement. Each of the hoppers has a width of at least two upright newspaper pages or of four printed pages lying in tabloid format. When viewed from a horizontal position, the hoppers at least partially overlap in a vertical direction. At least one of the outer hoppers is hoppers is offset vertically with respect to an inner hopper.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for constructing a machine composed of several subassemblies, characterised as follows:—a substitute geometric element (EGEi), which provides a simplified representation of the object to be constructed is first defined for at least one object to be constructed; information concerning the geometry of the object to be constructed is assigned to the substitute geometric element (EGEi); a more detailed object is constructed using the substitute geometric element (EGEi) and/or the information assigned thereto.
