Abstract
To permit central control of shifting of folding blades and puncture needles on a combination collection or assembly and folding cylinder (9), the cams (23, 25l) have associated therewith rotatable cam cover disks (62, 61) which are driven from the main machine drive, for example via a drive gear (20) coupled to the cylinder (9). An additional rotary motion is superimposed to permit shifting of the cover disks and thus selectively different modes of operation, for collection or assembly, or non-collection of sequential sheet products placed on the cylinder. The superimposed motion arrangement comprises a hollow coupling gear (29) which is coupled to a worm (28) coupled therewith, the worm being engaged by axially shiftable roller bolts (36, 37), the axial position of which is controllable by an electrical positioning motor (57) via a shifting plate (47) upon rotation of a positioning spindle (52).
