Copy's i.e. quire, setpoint lateral position determining method for folding machine in offset rotary press, involves determining position of setpoint such that lateral edge of copy is located at inside of lateral zone associated with edge

摘要

The method involves defining lateral edges (44, 46) of a copy e.g. quire (30), and defining lateral zones for each lateral edge by a transporting element e.g. conveying belt (36), of a folding machine. One of the lateral zones is extended laterally beyond the associated transporting element, where the lateral zone overlaps the element. A lateral position of a setpoint of the copy is determined such that the lateral edge (44) is located at inside of one of the lateral zones associated with the lateral edge (44). Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for operating a folding machine (2) a folding machine comprising a device for determining a lateral position of a setpoint of a copy of a folding machine.
