Abstract
An insertion system contains a cell wheel, which contains a plurality of feed sections (13) and at least two intake sections (12a, 12b) for the supply of main printed products. The intake sections (12a, 12b) are axially spaced apart. The system also has a feed means (17) with branches (40) and switchable sorting gates (50-56). On the outlet side is provided a distributor (18) with branched and switchable conveying sections (5) and removal stations (6). Main products are conveyed to intake sections (12a, 12b) and preproducts from the feed sections (13) are inserted into the main products. By appropriately setting the sorting gates (50-56) or branches (40), it is possible to compile approximately 80,000 end products per hour in a flexible manner. The inventive method also permits the complication of much more comprehensive end products with a very high process speed. It is also possible to simultaneously bring together different end products through the insertion system.
