A radial spacing, between two rotating cylindrical embossing tools, is adjustable, in an embossing device () having: an armature (); a first structure () which is movably mounted in translation relative to the armature (), which has a first rotating cylindrical tool (); a second structure () mounted in a fixed manner on the armature () and which is provided with a second rotating cylindrical tool (). A method includes steps of: pushing (T) on the first structure to move it closer to the second structure by leaning on the armature () to adjust a radial space, or pulling (P) on the first structure () in order to move it away from the second structure () by leaning on the armature () in order to finely adjust the radial spacing between the first and the second tools ().

Method for adjusting the radial spacing between two tools, embossing device and folder-gluer provided therewith

A device () for transporting planar elements along a given conveying path, which includes an endless transport member () that is movably guided over the entire length of the conveying path by a series of substantially adjacent guide members (), at least one movable guide member () being movably mounted separately from the static guide members () that are fixedly mounted, between a retracted position in which the movable guide member () is placed in direct alignment with the static guide members (), and a deployed position in which the movable guide member () is spaced apart from the static guide members (). Complementary guide members () are movably mounted to move between a reserve position, in which complementary guide members are spaced apart from the static guide members () and from the movable guide member () when the latter is in the retracted position, and a service position, in which the complementary guide members are continuously inserted between the static guide members () and the movable guide member () when the latter is in the deployed position.
