The invention relates to an apparatus for working, in particular for working without machining, for example for separating and/or forming, a web of material, having a plurality of individual tools for different manners of working the web of material with designated workpieces temporarily held therein, and having a machine direction along which the web of material with the designated workpieces and the plurality of individual tools can be moved incrementally relative to one another in such a way that the web of material can be worked multiple times within one work cycle by means of the plurality of individual tools, wherein the individual tools are designed as individual modules which can be fixed to one another to form an individual module cluster, but can be detached as well.
Apparatus (1) for working, in particular for working without machining, for example for separating and/or forming, a web of material (2), having a plurality of individual tools (30) for different manners of working the web of material (2) with designated workpieces temporarily held therein, and having a machine direction (7) along which the web of material (2) with the designated workpieces and the plurality of individual tools (30) can be moved incrementally relative to one another in such a way that the web of material (2) can be worked multiple times with-in one work cycle by means of the plurality of individual tools (30), wherein each of the plurality of the individual tools (30) are designed as individual modules (15) which can be fixed to one another to form an individual module cluster (28), but can be detached as well.

Progressive tool (22) for working, in particular for working without machining, for example for separating and/or forming, a web of material (2), having working stations (21) arranged one behind the other in the machine direction (7), by means of which working positions (32) of the web of material (2) can be worked successively, wherein the progressive tool (22) comprises an apparatus (1) according to any of the preceding claims.
Individual module (15) for carrying at least one individual tool (30) for working, in particular for working without machining, for example for separating and/or forming, a web of material (2) with designated workpieces temporarily held therein, the individual module (15) having a working path (60) along which the web of material (2) can be transported incrementally in the machine direction (7), and/or a coupling device (50) with coupling elements for a fixed but detachable coupling to at least one further individual module (15), and/or an autonomously operating functional and/or drive unit (35) for directly driving the at least one individual tool (30) with respect to the working path (60), and/or a distance measurement device (38) for controlling and/or regulating the autonomously operating functional and/or drive unit (35) and/or the at least one individual tool (30).
