  • the drive for this is done by means of the motor 210, which is also received on the stand 200.
  • the carriers 42a, 42b are each coupled to the drive element 204, a simultaneous movement of the carrier 42a, 42b relative to the center line X1 (or to the guide rail 220) takes place.
  • the width of the folding device 40 is adjusted.
  • the second folding device 50 further includes a first carrier 52a and a second carrier 52b ?, which are movable along the guide rail 203.
  • the second folding device 50 comprises a first folding element 52a and a second folding element 52b, which are each attached to a carrier 52a, 52b.
  • the folding elements 55a, 55b are pivotable upward in the vertical direction, wherein the pivoting movement of the folding elements 55a, 55b takes place in the direction of the passage direction, whereas the previously described folding elements 45a, 45b of the first Folding device 40 are pivoted against the passage direction.
  • first folding device 40 a forward transverse side of the carton blank in the direction of passage can be erected, whereas a rear transverse side of the carton blank is erected by the second folding device 50.
  • the first carrier 52a and the second carrier 52b can be adjusted by the drive element 205, so that the width of the second folding device 50 is adjustable by a movement of the carrier 52a, 52b relative to the center axis X1.
  • the drive element 205 is driven similarly to the drive element 204 by a motor not explicitly shown in the figures.
  • a transport device 90 which is a conveyor belt according to the embodiment described here.
  • two conveyor belts 90 arranged one behind another are provided as the transport device 90, but it can be seen that the number of conveyor belts is not limited to a certain number. In the following, reference will therefore be made only to a conveyor belt 90.
  • an alignment ruler 100 is provided which extends along an alignment axis X2.
  • the alignment axis X2 is provided offset to the center axis X1.
  • the removal unit 80 includes a side rail 81 which extends laterally of the conveyor belt 90 in a direction parallel to the center axis X1 or to the alignment axis X2.
  • the longitudinal member 81 forms a guide for a cantilever arm 82 which is movable along the longitudinal member 81.
  • the extension arm extends at least in sections over the Conveyor belt 90, namely transversely, in particular perpendicular, to the extension direction of the longitudinal member 81st
  • the extension arm 82 is in addition to a movement along the longitudinal member also transversely, in particular perpendicular, adjustable thereto.
  • a receiving element 83 is provided which extends in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal member 81.
  • the receiving member 83 is adapted to receive a box B (a carton blank formed by the erecting means 41 and the folding means 40, 50) on a side wall of the box B and to guide and / or align the box B against the aligning ruler 100.
  • the receiving element 83 in the present embodiment, a plurality of suction cups, wherein the receiving element 83 may also have only a suction cup or other receiving elements in a modification, for example, one or more grippers, pliers, or the like.
  • a holding member 84 which is configured to hold a box B similarly or correspondingly as the receiving member 83.
  • the holding element 84 is folded away transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the receiving element 83. When the holding member 84 is unfolded, it extends in a direction of the receiving member 83. By the combined use, longer boxes B can be held.
  • the removal unit 80 is thus configured on the basis of the above-described embodiment, in particular by means of the receiving element 83, a box B (a by the erector 41 and the folding devices 40, 50 converted cardboard blank) on a side wall of the box B record and the box B against the Align ruler 100 to guide and / or align.
  • the movement of the removal unit 80 in the direction of the alignment ruler 100 can be controlled either by knowing the dimensions of the box B to the machine control, or by using a feeler which stops movement of the removal unit 80 in the direction of the alignment ruler 100 when Box B is pressed against the alignment ruler 100.
  • the receiving element 83 of the removal unit 80 holds the box B until a command from the machine control to release the box B takes place. Then, the box B can be further transported by the conveyor belt 90. After the release of box B is possibly delayed, it is possible to adjust the gaps between successive boxes B to a certain extent.
  • a cardboard blank is taken from the stack M1 or from the stack M2 and moved to the transfer device 30 (step S1).
  • the carton blank is gripped by suction cups of one of the receiving units 12, 13 from above and pulled onto the support table 31 of the transfer device 30.
  • Step 2 the carton blank is moved such that it is arranged centrally to the center axis X1.
  • the claws can now be lowered again and moved back in the direction of the portal 11. There, the claws can take over another carton blank.
  • the carton blank aligned at the center axis X1 is now taken over by a first transport device 60 and moved along the center axis X1 (step S3).
  • the movement of the carton blank takes place here as far as the first folding device 40.
  • the carton blank is reshaped by the erecting device 41 along fold lines.
  • the carton blank to be formed into a box now comprises a bottom and two longitudinal side walls.
  • a first transverse side of the carton blank is folded up (step S4), so that the carton blank to be formed into a box additionally has a transverse sidewall (in the direction of movement).
  • the carton blank is taken over by the second conveyor 70 and further moved along the center axis X1 (step S5).
  • the carton blank reaches the area of the second folding device 50, with which a second transverse side (in the direction of passage) of the packaging material is folded up (step S6).
  • the carton blank to be formed into a box now comprises a bottom, two longitudinal side walls and two transverse side walls.
  • the lid of the packaging material is high in the vertical direction.
  • the box is removed by the removal unit 80.
  • the cardboard blank is picked up by the removal unit 80 and aligned on the alignment ruler 100 which runs along the alignment axis X2 arranged offset to the center axis X1 and finally removed from the apparatus (step S7).
  • the transport device 90 is moved at a constant speed, and the removal unit 80 positions the box B on the conveyor belt 90 such that the gap between successive boxes B remains the same or substantially the same.
  • the preferred embodiment of the present invention may be used to process packaging material, such as carton blanks.
  • a carton blank is made from stabilized paper grades.
  • the boxes made from carton blanks can be used to package a wide variety of products or goods.
  • the dimensions of the boxes differ, even if some unit sizes are known in the field of packaging technology.
  • the illustrated embodiment can be used particularly flexibly for boxes of different widths. In other words, it is possible to produce boxes of different widths with one machine without the need for expensive set-up work or the production process having to be stopped.
  • the removal unit 80 allows to select the storage position of the boxes / packaging material on the transport device 90 such that the gap between successive packaging materials remains the same or substantially the same.
  • folding devices 40, 50 and the removal unit 80 are preferably used together in the previously described embodiment, the folding devices 40, 50 and the removal unit 80 may also be accommodated individually in a device according to further modifications.
