SYSTEM COMPRISING ALTERNATIVE PROCESSING SECTIONS FOR THE FURTHER PROCESSING OF PRODUCTS, LONGITUDINAL FOLDING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE SYNCHRONOUS OPERATION OF A FOLDING DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a system comprising alternative processing sections for the further processing of products (02). Said system comprises a separator (34), at which a transport section (33) is divided into several alternative transport sections (36, 37) for the further processing of products (02) in processing stages (01). A sensor (39) that detects the phasing of the products is located upstream of the separator (34), the signal of said sensor acting on a drive (42) that actuates the separator (34), by means of a control device (41). An additional sensor (18), which is configured as a sensor (18) for detecting the product phasing, is positioned on each of at least two transport sections (36, 37). Said sensor (18) is connected to a drive (05, 16) of the processing stage (01), which is mechanically independent from the drive of the transport sections (33, 36, 37), by means of a control unit (10, 19) that controls the drive (05, 16) taking into account the detected product phasing.
