An apparatus for producing printed products such as books, magazines, brochures, catalogues or the like comprises several connected devices for the processing of printed sheets. The printed sheets are admitted with blast air via at least one air supply in order to change or maintain their position. At least two of the connected devices are respectively provided with at least one blower for generating blast air. The blast air can be used in the respective device. The blowers are connected to a control unit of the apparatus so that the blast air generated by the blowers can be controlled as needed.

Apparatus and method for producing printed products

A device for producing a bound book block including a lining strip or a cover includes a pressing station configured to move the lining strip or the cover in a pressing direction from a position from which the lining strip or the cover is gluable to a spine of the book block and to press the lining strip or the cover against the spine of the book block. A lining supply and a cover supply are each disposed upstream of the pressing station. A linearly movable common transport means is connected to the pressing station and configured to selectively, successively transfer the lining strip or the cover into the pressing station in a conveying direction and to convey the lining strip or the cover in the pressing station relative to the book block into a second position.

Device and method for producing bound book blocks comprising a lining strip or a cover

An apparatus for folding print sheets includes two folding rollers arranged on one side of a guide plane to define a folding gap. A compressed air device is arranged on the other side of the guide plane in a region of the folding gap. The compressed air device is connected to the compressed air source and to the control unit, and includes an exit opening for the compressed air that is focused onto the folding gap. Control elements can be activated by the control unit to change the time interval during which the at least one exit opening is admitted with compressed air, and/or the cross-sectional surface of the exit opening, and the pressure of the compressed air supplied to the exit opening may also be changed by a different control element, to adapt a compressed air blast to properties of the print sheet made available to the folding gap.

System and method for folding printed sheets

An apparatus for folding of print sheets includes a compressed air device that comprises at least two segments with respectively at least one exit opening having a cross-sectional surface and directed toward a folding gap of two folding rollers. Each segment is connected to a compressed air source and a control unit, includes at least one control element and is embodied to be activated separately with compressed air.
