Abstract
The invention relates to a processing apparatus for packaging machines having at least one upper processing unit for processing upper package sides and at least one lower processing unit for processing lower package sides, and having a common adjustment axle for the processing units along which the processing units are adjustable manually or by means of a drive in an adjustment direction that extends in parallel with a direction of transport of the packaging machine.
Claims17
A processing apparatus for packaging machines in which packages to be processed by the processing apparatus are transported along a direction of transport of the packaging machine, the processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one upper processing unit for processing upper package sides and at least one lower processing unit for processing lower package sides;
- and
- a common adjustment axle for the processing units along which the processing units are adjustable manually or by means of a drive in an adjustment direction that extends in parallel with the direction of transport of the packaging machine,
- wherein the processing units are couplable to the adjustment axle and decouplable from the adjustment axle independently of one another, and wherein each processing unit comprises a coupling device that is manually actuatable or is controllable by means of a control device and that is configured to couple and decouple the processing unit and the adjustment axle to one another and from one another, and wherein the processing units can be adjusted in two different modes of operation, namely together and independently from one another along the adjustment axle during operation of the packaging machine.
A packaging machine, having at least one processing apparatus in which packages to be processed by the processing apparatus are transported along a direction of transport of the packaging machine, the at least one processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one upper processing unit for processing upper package sides and at least one lower processing unit for processing lower package sides;
- and
- a common adjustment axle for the processing units along which the processing units are adjustable manually or by means of a drive in an adjustment direction that extends in parallel with the direction of transport of the packaging machine,
- wherein a control device is provided that is configured to control a travel drive of the processing apparatus, and wherein the control device is configured to control coupling devices of the processing units in two different modes of operation, namely to adjust the processing units together and independently from one another in the adjustment direction during operation of the packaging machine.
