A transfer device for one or more flat substrates (4, 4a, 4b), which can be inserted between two successive units upstream and downstream (3, 6, 9) in a packaging production machine (1), the device including a bridge (14) with an upper surface (16) providing a junction between the upstream unit (3, 6) and the downstream unit (9). An adjustment device (19) varies a length (L1, L2) of the bridge (14). The bridge (14) is a static apron on which the substrate (4, 4a, 4b) slides, having a fixed transversal end (36) and a mobile transversal end (22). The adjustment device (19) varies a position of the mobile end (22), as a function of a spacing (E1, E2) between the two units.
A transfer device for one or more substrates , wherein the substrates can be inserted between two successive units upstream and downstream in a packaging production machine, the transfer device comprising a bridge having an upper surface providing a junction between the upstream unit and the downstream unit, and an adjustment device for varying a length of the bridge, the bridge comprises a static apron on which the substrate slides, having a fixed transversal end toward one unit and a mobile transversal end toward the other unit, the adjustment device varying a position of the mobile end, as a function of a spacing between the two units.
