In a folder, a folding cylinder having folding components accommodated on the periphery thereof and being phase-dependently operatable, and cylinder segments for carrying the folding components, the cylinder segments being adjustable in relation to one another and being mounted coaxially in side walls, includes separate drives, respectively, for driving each of the folding components, a rotary leadthrough via which energy is supplied to the separate drives, and a speed controller for speed-dependently controlling the separate drives; a method of operating the folding cylinder; a folder including the folding cylinder; and a rotary printing machine in combination with the folder including the folding cylinder.
In a folder, a folding cylinder having a first set and a second set of folding components accommodated on the periphery thereof and being phase-dependently operatable, and cylinder segments for carrying the first set and the second set of the folding components, respectively, the cylinder segments being adjustable in relation to one another and being mounted coaxially in side walls, comprising separate drives, respectively, for driving each of the sets of the folding components, a rotary leadthrough via which energy is supplied to said separate drives, and a speed controller for speed-dependently controlling said separate drives.
A folder for a rotary printing machine, having a folding cylinder equipped, on the periphery thereof, with a first set and a second set of phase-dependently operatable folding components, the folding components being movable relative to one another in accordance with a format and a folding mode and being accommodated coaxially in side walls, comprising a separate drive for driving each of the sets of the folding components, a rotary leadthrough via which energy is supplied to said separate drive, and a speed controller via which said separate drive is speed-dependently drivable.
A rotary printing machine in combination with a folder which is equipped with at least one folding cylinder having, on the periphery thereof, a first set and a second set of phase-dependently actuatable folding components which are format-dependently and folding mode-dependently movable relative to one another and are accommodated coaxially in side walls, comprising a separate drive for driving each of the sets of the folding components a rotary leadthrough via which energy is supplied to said separate drive, and a speed controller for speed-dependently driving said separate drive.
