Folding device and a printing press

The invention relates to a folding device according to the preamble of claim 1 and a printing machine according to claim 27.

Folding devices are used, for example, in processing devices that serve to process webs of material. One example is a web-fed rotary printing press in which a printing material web is fed to a folding device after treatments such as printing and / or painting and / or drying, in which optionally a longitudinal fold is attached by means of a former and processing is carried out to individual printed products. There are different ones

Cross-cutting devices known, for example, those which serve exclusively to divide the web into individual sections, and those which additionally serve to further fold the individual sections, for example to provide at least one transverse fold. Different cross-cutting devices of a folding device are usually associated with different formers.

By DE 44 39 615 A1 a folding device is known, wherein the folding device has at least one movable in and / or counter to a first direction of the former and at least one pair of arranged below the former at least one former hopper folding rollers and at least one first cross-cutting device.

From DE 10 2005 034 331 A1 a folding device is known which has a plurality of in and / or against a first direction movably arranged former and two cross-cutting devices. From DE 100 03 025 C1 a folding device is known, which has two arranged in and / or against one direction movably arranged former and in each case a pair of arranged below the former, with these movable hopper folding rollers.

WO 98/16386 A1 discloses a folding device which has two subassemblies movably arranged in and / or against one direction between a first position and a second position, the subassemblies each being in the first position of a first cross cutting device and in the second position associated with a second cross-cutting device.

The invention has for its object to provide a folding device and a printing press.

The object is achieved by the features of claim 1 and the features of claim 27.

The achievable with the present invention consist in particular that material and cost can be saved by only a single former is necessary to optionally supply material webs different cross-cutting devices, yet wrap angle of the longitudinally folded material web, for example, the Trichterfalzwalzen and / or other rolls can be kept small.

Another advantage of an embodiment in which at least one pair of

Trichterfalzwalzen and / or the at least one former is arranged to be movable in a second direction, is that also different widths of material webs can be used. Another advantage of an embodiment which has corresponding, for example, movable standing surfaces and / or fall protection, consists in an increased

Operating safety and / or a pronounced accessibility of the folding device regardless of the position of a corresponding module.

A further advantage of an embodiment in which the mobility of as many components as possible of a corresponding assembly ensures that they do not move relative to each other and must not be configured repeatedly, preferably consists in a simplified operability, since a repositioning of the at least one pair of hopper folding rolls and / or the at least one former requires only a reorientation of turning bars and a corresponding retraction of the web.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings and will be described in more detail below.
