Description

The invention relates to a processing machine according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for operating a processing machine according to the preamble of claim 11. Packaging is manufactured using web- or sheet-shaped materials. In several processing steps, the sheets are printed, embossed, creased, perforated, die-cut, cut, stapled, glued, and folded into packaging. To optimally utilize the surface area of a sheet, several identical or different copies, such as a poster, a folding box, or a package, are typically printed on a single sheet and then die-cut. These copies are referred to as a unit. A processing machine can include various processing steps such as printing, cutting, embossing, creasing, die-cutting, perforating, gluing, and/or stapling. Such processing machines often also feature inspection devices. Sheets are typically processed and trimmed in processing machines with form-based die-cutting and cutting units. Such a processing machine is, for example, a die-cutting, cutting, perforating, embossing, and/or creasing machine. When such a processing machine is referred to as a die-cutting and/or stamping machine in the following, this specifically includes a cutting, perforating, embossing, and/or creasing machine. In form-based systems, there are both flatbed and rotary die-cutting machines. Due to the continuous motion process, rotary die-cutting machines can achieve significantly higher production speeds than flatbed die-cutting machines. Rotary die-cutting machines are equipped, for example, with modules such as a die-cutting unit, a creasing unit, an embossing unit, and/or a stripping unit. One such rotary die-cutting machine is, for example, made from the WO 2017/089420 A2 known. Individual substrates are processed between interacting machining cylinders of machining units and then collected in a display to form a stack of substrate. Through the WO 2021/233667 A1 A process for panel separation is known, wherein the separation of partial stacks of substrate takes place inline with upstream forming units. After the panel separation process, the resulting partial stacks of panels are conveyed from the panel separation area by a rake and laid out in a panel display in the form of panel stacks. The DE 10 2013 214 531 A1 A sheet-processing machine with a feeder or delivery unit containing a sheet support element with a support structure for receiving at least one sheet section is taught. The support structure can be positioned under the sheet to be received. A traction element can be stored in the support structure in such a way that the insertion of the support structure occurs without relative movement between the traction element and the sheet to be received. The invention is based on the objective of creating a processing machine and a method for operating a processing machine. The problem is solved according to the invention by the features of claim 1 and claim 11. The dependent claims represent particularly advantageous embodiments of the solution found. A processing machine and/or a method for operating a processing machine is provided. The processing machine preferably has at least one depaneling unit and at least one depaneling unit downstream of the at least one depaneling unit. The processing machine preferably has at least one conveying means. The at least one conveying means has at least one removal conveying system, which is designed to receive and convey at least one stack of depaneling parts from the at least one depaneling unit. The at least one conveying means has at least one depositing conveying system, which is designed to receive the at least one stack of depaneling parts from the at least one removal conveying system and to feed it to a stacking area of the at least one depaneling unit. The at least one conveying means preferably has at least one circulating transport means, which is designed as a common circulating transport means for the at least one removal conveying system and the at least one depositing conveying system. In the method for operating the processing machine, the at least one conveying means is preferably moved from a first position to at least one further position and/or vice versa. The at least one circulating transport means is driven circulatingly in one transport direction to transport the at least one stack of depaneling parts. A point on the support surface is arranged in the first position of the at least one conveying element within a panel separator of the at least one panel separator unit of the processing machine. The point on the support surface is preferably arranged in the at least one further position tion of the at least one conveying means overlapping in a vertical direction with respect to the stacking area of the at least one output delivery of the processing machine following the at least one output separation unit. Advantageously, a transport of the component stacks between the at least one component separation unit and the at le
