An apparatus for transferring a material web in a thermoforming machine is disclosed. The thermoforming machine may have a forming tool. The forming tool is tilted about an axis running transversely to the feed direction of the material web during a forming process. The material web is transported from a forming region of the forming tool of the thermoforming machine to a downstream station of the thermoforming machine. The material web is moved from the forming region to the downstream station, where the transfer apparatus includes a transport unit with a transport device that is displaced in a first direction between the forming tool and the downstream station and is engaged with an initial portion of the material web in a first region facing the forming tool and is disengaged in a second region facing the downstream station.
An apparatus for transferring a material web in a thermoforming machine with a forming tool that can be tilted about an axis running transversely to a feed direction of the material web during a forming process, from a forming region of the forming tool of the thermoforming machine to a downstream station of the thermoforming machine, comprising a guide for the material web that is configured such that the guide extends from the forming region to the downstream station, and a transport unit with a transport device that is configured to be displaced along the guide between the forming tool and the downstream station and configured to be engaged with the material web in a first region facing the forming tool and configured to be disengaged in a second region facing the downstream station.
A thermoforming machine with a forming tool that can be tilted about an axis running transversely to a feed direction of a material web during a forming process, and a transfer apparatus for transferring the material web from a forming region of the forming tool of the thermoforming machine to a downstream station of the thermoforming machine, the transfer apparatus comprising:
A method for transferring a material web from a forming region of a thermoforming machine with a forming tool and with a transfer apparatus for transferring the material web, wherein the forming tool is tilted about an axis running transversely to a feed direction of the material web during a forming process, and wherein the material web is transported from a forming region of the forming tool of the thermoforming machine to a downstream station of the thermoforming machine,
