Abstract: In a sheet processing method for sheets of paper or cardboard, a sheet for processing is, in the processing station, firstly brought to a standstill and then set down, whereas the processed sheet is, in the output station, set down from a moving state. A punching or stamping machine has an input station, a processing station and an output station arranged one behind the other in a sheet transport path, and a sheet gripping device which is designed to set down a sheet for processing in the processing station when the sheet gripping device has come to a standstill in a second reversal position, and to set down a processed sheet in the output station as the sheet gripping device approaches the second reversal position.

Abstract: A device and a method suitable for a sheet punching and embossing machine, is employed for separating finished products and scrap material of a punched sheet while the sheet is moved in a transport direction, with the finished products and scrap material adjoining one another at punching lines. The device includes a break-off element which can be moved intermittently away from a second plane and towards the second plane between a break-off position and a rest position. The application of force onto the scrap material ends before the track of the applied force crosses an unevenly arranged punching line, and the application of force is resumed after the track of the applied force has crossed an evenly arranged punching line.

Abstract: A tool carrier device for adjustable arrangement of tools along a forming path comprises two carrier rails arranged so as to run parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction of the forming path and above the latter, at least one cross member which can be detachably connected to both carrier rails at a plurality of predetermined positions along the forming path in such a way that the cross member is arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the forming path, and at least one tool holder which can be detachably connected to the cross member.
