In this way, paper processing with "fixed edge links" can take place.
- the device can be operated either by hand or by means of a preprogrammed control which acts on motors which are connected to the screw spindles 236, 236 'or 238, 238'.
- the subdivision of the vacuum chambers 220 or 220 'into a plurality of individual chambers or the covering of the end regions of the slot of a continuous vacuum chamber is required in order to adapt the device to different format heights.
- the smallest format height of 75 mm (3 inches) for example, all individual chambers 220a-220d or 220'a-220'd are connected to the vacuum source 222. In this case, when using slides, the longitudinal section of the continuous vacuum chamber must be opened to its full length.
- a more or less large number of draw-in chambers 220a, 220b, 220c and 220'a, 220'b, 220'c are formed on the inlet side and on the outlet side of the vacuum transport units 208, 208 ' the vacuum source 222 is switched off or the end regions of the slot of a continuous vacuum chamber are closed to a greater or lesser length by slides.
- the speed difference between the two sheets is achieved by the different speeds of the inclined transport devices (FIGS. 2 to 4) or the vacuum transport units (FIGS. 5 to 7).
- the required difference in running of the sheets can be achieved in that the individual sheets are delayed differently at the inlet of the collating station.
- the stop points described in FIGS. 2 to 4 can be used, which are then also provided in the arrangement according to FIGS. 5 to 7.
- the first sheet is not delayed during the feeding and the second sheet is briefly stopped by the stop, that is to say delayed.
- the transport units can run at the same speed because the required offset by the inlet delay of at least one sheet is reached. The one by stopping at least one
- Blade performance losses are small and do not have a lasting impact on the overall behavior of the machine.
