Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Falzmaschinc (1) und ein Verfahren zum unterschuppten Falzen von Bogen (7) aus Papier, Pappe und dergleichen wobei die Falzmaschine mindestens eine Falzwerke aufweisenden ersten Falzstation (3) und einen Schuppenanleger (2) zum Zuführen von Bogen (7, 7a, 7b) über einen Ausrichttisch (9) zur ersten Falzstation (3) in einer ersten Transportrichtung (T) besitzt. Der Schuppenanleger (2) besitzt eine Einrichtung (19) zum Vereinzeln der Bogen (7, 7a, 7b) und eine in und entgegen der ersten Transportrichtung (T) verstellbare Saugvorrichtung (21) zum unterschuppten Übergeben von Bogen (7, 7a, 7b) von einem Bogenstapel (8) des Schuppenanlegers (2) an den Ausrichttisch (9).

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to a Falzmaschinc (1) and a method for unterschuppten folding sheets (7) made of paper, cardboard and the like wherein the folding machine at least one folding units having first folding station (3) and a flaker (2) for feeding sheets (7, 7a, 7b) has an alignment table (9) to the first folding station (3) in a first transport direction (T). The bulkhead feeder (2) has a device (19) for separating the sheets (7, 7a, 7b) and a suction device (21) adjustable in and against the first transport direction (T) for submitting sheets (7, 7a, 7b) from a stack of sheets (8) of the flaker feeder (2) to the alignment table (9).
