Abstract
A processing machine includes at least one further processing unit following at least one processing unit configured as an application unit in a transport direction of a substrate. At least one transport unit is arranged between the at least one processing unit configured as an application unit and the at least one succeeding processing unit. The at least one transport unit includes a plurality of transport elements arranged one behind the other in the transport direction. The plurality of transport elements are individually axially adjustable, or the plurality of transport elements are groupwise axially adjustable.

A processing machine (01), at least one further processing unit (600;
- 900) following at least one processing unit (600) configured as an application unit (600) in the transport direction (T) of substrate (02);
- at least one transport unit (700) being arranged between the at least one processing unit (600) configured as an application unit (600) and the at least one succeeding processing unit (600;
- 900);
- the at least one transport unit (700) comprising a plurality of transport elements (701);
- and at least three transport elements (701) of the plurality of transport elements (701) being arranged one behind the other in the transport direction (T), characterized in that the plurality of transport elements (701) are individually axially adjustable or that the plurality of transport elements (701) are groupwise axially adjustable, and that the at least one transport unit (700) comprises at least a main drive (M) of one or more main drives (M), the main drive (M) coupled to the at least three transport elements (701) that are arranged one behind the other in the transport direction (T), the main drive (M) configured to drive the at least three transport elements (701) for generating rotative movement of the at least three transport elements (701).
A processing machine (01) comprising at least one transport unit (700) and at least one processing unit (600;
- 900) following the at least one transport unit (700) in the transport direction (T) of substrate (02);
- the at least one transport unit (700) being configured as a suction transport means (700) configured as a suction box;
- and the at least one transport unit (700) comprising a plurality of transport elements (701), wherein at least three transport elements (701) of the plurality of transport elements (701) are arranged one behind another in the transport direction (T), characterized in that the plurality of transport elements (701) are individually axially adjustable or that the plurality of transport elements (701) are groupwise axially adjustable, and that the suction box comprises a roller transport system comprising at least one of transport rollers or transport cylinders as the transport elements (701).
A method for relative alignment of a substrate (02) with respect to a processing unit (600;
- 900) in a processing machine (01), at least one further processing unit (600;
- 900) following at least one processing unit (600) configured as an application unit (600) in the transport direction (T) of substrate (02);
- at least one transport unit (700) being arranged between the at least one processing unit (600) configured as an application unit (600) and the at least one succeeding processing unit (600;
- 900);
- the at least one transport unit (700) comprising a plurality of transport elements (701);

A method for the relative alignment of a substrate (02) with respect to a processing unit (600;
- 900) in a processing machine (01), at least one processing unit (600;
- 900) of the processing machine (01) following at least one transport unit (700) of the processing machine (01) in the transport direction (T) of substrate (02);
