Device for repairing objects fixed to a web, with a flexible feed mechanism of the web

A device for repairing and/or inspecting objects fixed to a web, wherein the device comprises:

• a web feed configured for feeding the web in a feed direction;
• a first sensor configured for selecting fault-free objects on the web that meet a predetermined selection criterion, and faulty objects that do not meet the selection criterion;
• a bad-part receptacle configured for receiving the faulty objects;
• a receiving point on the web configured for receiving at least one fault-free object;
• a transposing device configured for transferring faulty objects from the web into the bad-part receptacle in a discharging position of the transposing device, in which during the discharging the transposing device brings about, by means of first displacement means, a discharging curvature of the web at a discharging point of the web for discharging the objects, and configured for transferring the fault-free object from the web to the receiving point in a translation position of the transposing device, in which, during the transferring of the fault-free object, the transposing device brings about, by means of a second displacement means, a translation curvature of the web at a translation point of the web for transferring the fault-free object;
• and
• a wrapping position of the transposing device configured for maintaining the original positions of the objects on the web prior to feeding the web, in which the transposing device brings about a wrapping curvature of a wrapping section of the web during feeding of the entire web or an adjustable part of the web, which section comprises the translation point and the discharging point, wherein a maximum value of the wrapping curvature is smaller than the discharging curvature and the translation curvature.
