Assembly for processing a substrate web

An assembly for processing a substrate web, wherein the assembly comprises:

• a first printing or converting apparatus, comprising:
• a number of first printing or converting modules disposed one after the other in a first main direction, through which in use a first substrate web is capable of being guided;
• and
• a first rail assembly provided with rails extending in the first main direction (L1) next to or above the first printing or converting modules;
• at least one processing station movable over the first rail assembly for positioning the at least one processing station at a desired position in the first main direction of the printing or converting apparatus;
• a second printing or converting apparatus, comprising:
• a number of second printing or converting modules disposed one after the other in a second main direction, through which in use a second substrate web is capable of being guided;
• and
• a second rail assembly provided with rails extending in the second main direction next to or above the second printing or converting modules;
• and
• a transfer assembly comprising rail assemblies configured to move the at least one processing station from the first rail assembly to the second rail assembly and vice versa and to buffer processing stations, the transfer assembly comprising:
• a carrier rail extending perpendicular to the rails of the first and/or the second rail assembly, the carrier rail being situated at a lower level than the rails of the first and/or the second rail assembly;
• and
• a processing station carrier moveable over the carrier rail, the processing station carrier being provided with a rails segment, which in a transfer positon of the processing station carrier connects to and is in line with the rails of the first and/or the second rail assembly.
