The present invention pertains to a device for producing printed products comprising an arrangement of cooperating rollers that are arranged parallel to one another, wherein at least the gap width between the rollers of one roller pair is adjustable. For this purpose, one roller of the pair is pivotably mounted by means of a pivot arm, wherein a driver arranged on the pivot arm displaces a linearly movable reference element by means of a sliding block guide such that the position of this reference element corresponds to the adjusted gap width. The sliding block guide is preferably realized in such a way that the gap width and the position of the reference element are proportionally correlated.

Device for producing printed products

In a machine () for manufacturing perfect-bound brochures () that includes a book block conveying device () with an endless conveying means (), a plurality of clamps () that are arranged on the conveying means at a fixed pitch spacing (T) and serve for clamping book blocks (), and of at least one processing station () that can be adjusted in a motor-driven fashion, the cycle time (t) referred to the conveyance of the clamps () by the pitch spacing (T) defined in the at least one processing station is divided into an adjusting segment (t, t) for resetting and/or adjusting the at least one processing station () in accordance with changing printed product characteristics and a processing segment (t, t) for processing the book blocks () and/or covers (). The resetting of the at least one processing station to another printed product can take place within one work cycle (t) of the respective processing station while the conveyance of the book blocks () continues.
