Abstract: A method for operating a gluing system (10) for gluing blanks for producing and/or packaging cigarettes or other smokable objects, in which the blanks are conveyed along glue valves (11) of the gluing system (10), in which case, in order to control and/or regulate the glue valves (11), a superordinate master controller (13) respectively transmits values of at least one control and/or regulation parameter to individual controllers (15) which are assigned to the glue valves (11), are subordinate to the master controller (13) and are each connected to the superordinate master controller (13) via a suitable data connection, the subordinate controller (15) using said values to control and/or regulate the glue valve (11) assigned to it.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for producing packs, in particular cigarette packs, from blanks (11, 44), wherein individual regions of a pack blank (11) are adhesively bonded to one another and, if appropriate, to one or more separate blanks (44) by the pack blank (11) being provided with individual portions of glue (28, 29) by means of a valve or a group of valves (26) and blank regions which are to be adhesively bonded together subsequently being held or pressed on one another, wherein the individual portions of glue (28, 29) are applied to the blank regions by means of the glue valve (27) or the group of glue valves (26), and/or wherein a control and/or regulating device (65) automatically controls and/or regulates the size or quantity of the respectively produced portion of glue (28, 29), which size or quantity is produced by the at least one glue valve (27) during an individual valve opening cycle, as a function of at least one parameter.
