A sheet processing device has a moveable beam (36) that moves in the vertical direction, a gripper bar (30) for gripping a sheet that travels through the sheet processing device (10), and a gripper bar locking device (40) that can lock the gripper bar (30) in a precise position. The gripper bar locking device (40) has a locking lever (68) that is pivoting between a rest position and a locking position. The locking lever (68) is connected to a vertical linear guide coupled with the moveable beam (36) resulting in a precise, compact and simple system to lock the gripper bar.

A machine arrangement sequentially processes sheet-like substrates with multiple different processing stations each having a substrate-guiding unit and a substrate-processing unit. At least one of the processing stations has, as a substrate-processing unit, at least one non-impact printing device which prints on the substrate. The processing station with the at least one non-impact printing device has a printing cylinder. Each non-impact printing device is arranged at the circumference of the printing cylinder. The printing cylinder is triple-sized or quadruple-sized. A double-sized or a triple-sized transfer drum, or a corresponding feed cylinder, is arranged directly upstream of this printing cylinder. Alternatively, a double-sized or a triple-sized transfer drum, or a corresponding transfer cylinder, is arranged directly downstream of this printing cylinder.

Systems and processes for producing a product having a carrier and a card secured thereto. Such a process includes providing a blank having a card panel and carrier panel that are contiguous with a fold line therebetween. The process further includes cutting the card panel to at least partially define a partial cutout card therein such that a remaining portion of the card panel surrounds the partial cutout card, folding the card panel over and onto the carrier panel such that the partial cutout card is secured to the carrier panel with an adhesive, and then removing the remaining portion so that the remaining portion is separated from the partial cutout card, and the partial cutout card remains secured to the carrier panel and defines at least a portion of the card of the product.

A flexographic printing unit is provided for a sheet along a printing line, including a plurality of printing assemblies, each including a printing roller apt to include a printing block, automatic and programmable movement apparatus for the printing rollers, apt to distance at least one of the printing rollers from the printing line during the printing procedure, so that the printing roller does not print the sheet, wherein each of the printing assemblies includes a structure fixed to the floor, at least one frame, which is movable with respect to the structure fixed to the floor, including at least one printing roller and apt to be moved by the displacement apparatus and damping apparatus arranged between the frame and a fixed point so as to damp the movement of the frame.

A machine arrangement, for sequentially processing sheet-type substrates, includes a plurality of different processing stations, one of which includes a non-impact printing device that prints the substrates. The processing station, including the non-impact printing device, also includes a printing cylinder, on the circumference of which, the non-impact printing device that prints the substrates is arranged. On the circumferential surface of the printing cylinder, four substrates are or can be placed behind each other in the circumferential direction. Each of the substrates that are to be conveyed are retained in one of a force-locking and a form-fitting manner on the circumferential surface of the printing cylinder by at least one retaining element.
