  • the extension arm 82 can also be adjusted transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to this end.
  • a receiving element 83 is provided, which extends in a direction essentially parallel to the longitudinal beam 81.
  • the receiving element 83 is set up to receive a box B (a cardboard blank formed by the erecting device 41 and the folding devices 40, 50) on a side wall of the box B and to guide the box B against the alignment ruler 100 and / or to align it therewith.
  • the receiving element 83 in the present embodiment has several suction cups, wherein the receiving element 83 in a modification can also have only one suction cup or other receiving elements, for example one or more grippers, pliers, or the like.
  • a holding element 84 is provided on the cantilever arm 82 at a position adjacent to the receiving element 83, which is set up in a manner similar to or corresponding to the receiving element 83 to hold a box B.
  • the holding element 84 is, however, folded away transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the receiving element 83. If the holding element 84 is folded out, it extends in a direction of the receiving element 83. Longer boxes B can be held by the combined insert.
  • the removal unit 80 is thus set up, in particular by means of the receiving element 83, to receive a box B (a cardboard blank formed by the erecting device 41 and the folding devices 40, 50) on a side wall of the box B and to hold the box B against the To guide alignment ruler 100 and / or to align with it.
  • a box B a cardboard blank formed by the erecting device 41 and the folding devices 40, 50
  • the movement of the removal unit 80 in the direction of the alignment ruler 100 can either be controlled by the fact that the machine control system knows the dimensions of the box B, or a button is used that ends a movement of the removal unit 80 in the direction of the alignment ruler 100 when the 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 is issued.
  • the box B can then be transported further with the conveyor belt 90. After the release of box B is carried out with a delay, if necessary, it is possible to set the gaps between successive boxes B to a certain extent.
  • a carton blank is removed either from the stack M1 or from the stack M2 and moved to the transfer device 30 (step S1).
  • the cardboard blank is gripped from above by suction cups of one of the receiving units 12, 13 and pulled onto the support table 31 of the transfer device 30.
  • Step 2 the cardboard blank is moved in such a way that it is arranged in the middle of 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 on another cardboard cut.
  • the carton blank aligned on the central axis X1 is now taken over by a first transport device 60 and moved along the central axis X1 (step S3).
  • the carton blank is moved up to the first folding device 40.
  • the carton blank is reshaped by the erecting device 41 along fold lines.
  • the cardboard blank to be formed into a box now comprises a base and two longitudinal side walls.
  • a first transverse side of the carton blank is folded up by the first folding device 40 (step S4), so that the carton blank to be formed into a box additionally has a transverse side wall (front in the direction of movement).
  • the cardboard blank is then taken over by the second transport device 70 and moved further along the central axis X1 (step S5).
  • the cardboard blank arrives in the area of the second folding device 50, with which a second transverse side of the packaging material (at the rear in the direction of passage) is folded up (step S6).
  • the cardboard blank to be formed into a box now comprises a base, two longitudinal side walls and two transverse side walls.
  • the lid of the packaging material stands up in the vertical direction.
  • the box is then removed by the removal unit 80.
  • the carton blank is picked up by the removal unit 80 and aligned on the alignment ruler 100, which runs along the alignment axis X2 offset from the central axis X1, and is finally removed from the device (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 in such a way that the gap between successive boxes B remains the same or essentially the same.
  • the preferred embodiment of the present invention can be used to process packaging materials such as cardboard blanks.
  • a cardboard blank is made from stabilized types of paper.
  • the boxes made from cardboard blanks can be used to pack 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 embodiment shown 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 complex set-up work or the production process having to be stopped.
  • the removal unit 80 enables the storage position of the boxes / packaging material on the transport device 90 to be selected such that the gap between successive packaging materials remains the same or essentially the same. So the Embodiment according to this objective can be used flexibly for boxes which - viewed in the direction of passage - differ in their dimensions.
  • folding devices 40, 50 and the removal unit 80 are preferably used together in the embodiment described above, the folding devices 40, 50 and the removal unit 80 can also be accommodated individually in a device according to further modifications.
