Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for treating substrates which device is modular and versatile in use. The device for treating substrates comprises a feeder and one or more first sub-structure modules which each comprise a pressure cylinder with devices for fixing a lift and a sheet-conveying device and one or more second sub-structure modules which respectively have a transport cylinder with openings formed on the cover surface thereof, and having devices for fixing a lift and a sheet conveying device. All of the first or second sub-structure modules have the same intersection point for connecting the sub-structure modules on one of the inlet and the exit side and they all can be equipped with an attachment module.
Claims12
A device for treating substrates, comprising:
- a feed unit;
- at least one first substructure module, the at least one first substructure module having a printing module including a first printing cylinder, the at least one first substructure module further having a first sheet conveying device;
- a second substructure module including a second printing cylinder, at least one of the first printing cylinder and the second printing cylinder being embodied as a magnetic cylinder and being configured as one of a fully magnetic cylinder and as a cylinder with inset magnetic segments and as a carrier cylinder having one of magnetic segments and magnetic plates arranged thereon, the second substructure module further having a processing module, the processing module being one of a punching module and a cylinder that is adapted to accommodate a punching frame, the second substructure module being disposed downstream, in a direction of sheet transport, of the at least one first substructure module, the second substructure module having a second sheet conveying device;
- a third substructure module including a separation module, the third substructure module including a transport cylinder having a transport cylinder circumferential surface with a plurality of openings, the third substructure transport cylinder having means for securing a packing, the third substructure module being disposed downstream of the second substructure module and having a third sheet conveying device;
- and
- interfaces on at least one of an intake side and an output side of each of the at least one first substructure module, the second substructure module and the third substructure module, the interfaces being the same and each being adapted to one of connect the at least one first substructure module, the second substructure module and the third substructure module to one another and to equip at least one of the at least one first substructure module, the second substructure module and the third substructure module with an add-on module.
