Abstract
An assembly of a first and a second printing or converting apparatus is each at least provided with a number of printing or converting modules disposed one after the other in a main direction, through which in use a substrate web can be guided. The first and the second printing or converting apparatuses are respectively provided with a first and a second rail assembly each extending in a main direction next to or above the associated printing or converting modules and over which at least one processing station is movable. The assembly further includes a transfer assembly which is provided with rail assemblies which are 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.
Claims20
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 can be 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 module;
- 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 can be 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.
