Should with the same distance between the leading edges more than two Printed products must be gripped by a transport clamp this is correspondingly larger transport clips. To be safe Guarantee insertion of the printed products into the transport brackets, the feed conveyor and the conveyor must match each other accordingly be coordinated.
  • a single transport clamp grips at least two of the feeds Objects from one side. So there are considerable tolerances both in the distance between the leading edges of the objects in the shingled stream as well as in the synchronization allowed between the feed conveyor and the conveyor.
