Separating device for separating sections from a material web, laminating machine comprising a separating device, and method for laminating a sheet of a material web and for separating at least one section from a material web

A separating device for separating sections from a material web, the separating device comprising:

• at least one forward clamping device, with at least one forward clamping point, and at least one rear clamping device, with at least one rear clamping point;
• at least one first stretching element wherein, by moving at least the at least one first stretching element between at least one first traversing position and at least one first separation position, the separating device can be switched between at least one first traversing mode and at least one separation mode;
• a traversing mode transport line forming a shortest connection between the at least one forward clamping point and the at least one rear clamping point, said shortest connection lying entirely within a vertical reference plane and one of traversing and forming a tangent to any component of the separating device on a respective same side as a transport path provided for the one of the material web and the sections, wherein in the at least one separation mode, a separation mode transport line is at least 2 mm longer than in the at least one first traversing mode;
• at least one second stretching element, which is movable between a second traversing position and a second separation position;
• at least one third stretching element, which is movable between a third traversing position and a third separation position, wherein, when the first stretching element is in the first separation position, and the second stretching element is in the second separation position, and the third stretching element is in the third separation position, at least one rectilinear connection between the at least one second stretching element and the at least one third stretching element intersects the at least one first stretching element, and further wherein, in the at least one separation mode, the separation mode transport line has a minimum radius of curvature of at least 0.05 mm;
• and
• one of wherein the at least one first stretching element is arranged to one of pivot and rotate eccentrically about a first stretching axis, wherein the at least one second stretching element is arranged to one of pivot and rotate eccentrically about a second stretching axis, and wherein the at least one third stretching element is arranged to one of pivot and rotate eccentrically about a third stretching axis.
