Abstract

The arrangement according to the invention includes at least two winding modules (41-44) having replaceable winding cores or rolls. A common supply band (11), the winding planes of the winding modules (41-44) and a common delivery band (12) preferably lie in a perpendicular plane. The supply band (11) is led through in a straight line above the winding stations (41-44) and possesses a number of branch points or switches (51-54) corresponding at least to the number of winding stations (41-44). Each winding station (41-44) possesses a connection to the delivery band (12) which is led through in a straight line under the winding stations. In order to be able to select any desired mutual arrangement of the products at the exit, at least one device (7, 79) is provided inside the apparatus for the purpose of rewinding the rolls or changing the input parameters for the arrangement of printed products. <??>The process according to the invention allows not only unlimited off-line buffering of the products but also a flexible conversion of their input parameters, in respect of mutual position, orientation or cycle frequency, for example. <IMAGE>
