METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SEPARATING INDIVIDUAL SECTIONS OF MATERIAL ACCORDING TO A CERTAIN FORMAT, FROM A STRIP-LIKE OBJECT, AND VARIABLE FOLDING SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing individual material sections (11), especially sheets of paper, according to a certain format, from a strip-like, for example, printed object (object web) (1), especially a web of paper or material, using a cutting means (5, 7) for separating the individual material sections from the object web (1) and then removing said sections from the cutting means (5, 7). During the actuation of the cutting means, at least one driving element (4, 6, -20, -26) is engaged with the object web (1). Following the cutting process, the driving element is displaced together with the object strip (1, 25) gripped thereby, by means of a controllable linear drive (9), over a displacement course that is adjusted and/or varied in a controlled manner by the linear drive (9) according to a section format pre-defined for the material section (11).
