Abstract
A unit for separating a pre-cut-out substrate into a plurality of separate sub-substrates (). The unit includes upstream () and downstream () transverse guides; conveyor ramps, which convey the pre-cut-out substrate and the separate sub-substrates (), the ramps are slidably and pivotably mounted on the guides (). Upstream and downstream locks holds each ramp () in a locked position. A movable element supports upstream and downstream unlocking devices for engaging the upstream and downstream locking devices to release the ramps (). Upstream and downstream grasping devices grasp and drive the ramps () along the upstream () and downstream () guides to arrange the ramps in a fan-like configuration.
