Cutting machine for automatic trimming of printed products

A cutting machine for automatically trimming edges of folded printed products, the cutting machine comprising:

• a first cutting station comprising a cutting element configured to perform a front cut at a front cut location on an open side of the printed products;
• a feeding device configured to transport the printed products to the first cutting station;
• a transport device configured to transport the printed products received from the feeding device in a transport direction through the first cutting station;
• a measuring device configured to measure a position of each of the printed products in the first cutting station before reaching a cutting position;
• a control device configured to control the transport device based on the position measured by the measuring device such that a deviation of the position measured by the measuring device from a nominal position is corrected during further transport of the printed products, further comprising
• a sensor measuring an angle of the transport device, wherein the angle of the transport device measured by the sensor is compared in real time with a nominal position value of a curve table and an angle of the cutting element.
