  • Patent number: 9561636
    Abstract: A device for adjusting components of a printing material processing machine, in particular a folding-box gluing machine, includes at least one group of processing stations which have an associated operating element and a remote control as well as a safety-path computer and an operating-path computer. A first step for initiating an adjustment process of the components is carried out by a common signal transmitter both when operating a switch on the machine and when operating the remote control.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9011074
    Abstract: A device and a method for turning stacks of sheet-shaped material include a device for transporting the stacks into a pivot fork. The pivot fork is part of a turning unit and includes upper grippers, lower grippers and a stack stop. The pivot fork is open on one side to receive the stacks. The pivot fork is supported at its other end to pivot on a horizontal pivot shaft that extends in a direction transverse to a direction of introduction of the stacks and is disposed off-center relative to the pivot fork.

  • Patent number: 8348817
    Abstract: An inspection module for flat, sheet-shaped material made of paper, board or the like, includes an inspection system disposed below a sheet transport plane. The sheets are transported by contacting upper and lower conveying elements of at least one upper and one lower conveying device, at least one of which is connected to a drive. The lower conveying device is divided and is formed of at least two conveying devices with a gap formed therebetween. The inspection system is disposed in the gap. A folder gluer or folding-box gluer having an inspection module is also provided.
