  • there may be a supply to a first processing station with a routing of a second processing station to be combined to a transfer.
  • removing or transferring products are in succession in the Processing station, away from the processing station or from a processing station to promote to a next processing station.
  • For a routing products are gradually removed from the processing taken, promoted and then deposited in an orderly manner or to a downstream Hand over funds. It may also be before depositing or passing a buffering be provided.
  • For a transfer products are sold individually or taken in small groups and intermittently from a first processing, promoted and then individually or in small groups and intermittently for a second Positioning, whereby also between removal and positioning advantageously a buffering is provided.
  • the means for intermittent positioning In a feeder, the means for intermittent positioning must be exactly synchronous be operated with the processing. The same applies to the means for intermittent Remove in a route guidance. For this reason, at least these means Usually rigidly connected with the means for processing and are usually also powered by the same drive.
  • An example of a device of the aforementioned general cargo processing is a Device for producing products from a plurality of partial products, For example, the production of printed products, such as newspapers, magazines or brochures, in that for each product several, in different printing processes manufactured, at least contentwise different from each other Sub-products assembled and then optionally, for example, by stapling or bindings.
