摘要

A machine for punching out and optionally slitting corrugated cardboard blanks from a web ( 2 ) of corrugated cardboard while simultaneously applying folding lines onto said corrugated cardboard blanks ( 2 a). The machine includes two interacting punching tools, such as two interacting cylinders ( 4, 5 ), the punching, slitting and folding line tools being mounted on said cylinders. A delivery unit ( 7, 7 a) is mounted immediately after the two interacting cylinders ( 4, 5 ) said delivery unit ( 7, 7 a) being adapted to be connected to an erection module ( 1 b) by means of a coupling member ( 10, 15 ). The erection module ( 1 b) is adapted to erect the plane corrugated cardboard blanks ( 2 a) punched out and provided with folding lines into a permanent or semipermanent three-dimensional shape. In this manner a significant logistics problem is solved, said problem concerning the moving of corrugated cardboard blanks punched out, but not yet erected. In addition, the machine is very reliable.
