Apparatus for the production of inner assemblies and method thereof

An apparatus for the production of inner assemblies, comprising:

• a movable frame, movable along a forming trajectory between a first position and a second position spaced from the first position;
• a coupling unit comprising at least one forming support mounted on said movable frame, said coupling unit being configured to couple at least one web in an overlapping layers structure onto said forming support to form an inner assembly at least partially while said movable frame is moving between the first position and the second position;
• an unloading mechanism configured to pick said inner assembly from said forming support at least partially while said movable frame is moving between said first position and said second position, and to release said inner assembly in a predefined release area, spaced from said movable frame, said unloading mechanism comprising a gripping device configured to grab and hold said inner assembly and a moving device configured to move said gripping device at a same speed and in a same direction as said movable frame at least while said gripping device grabs said inner assembly.
