Abstract

A supply device for a machine periodically working on a web of material in a stopped position, particularly a flat cutting press, comprising, upstream of the machine, a hollow suction cylinder over which the web passes before penetrating in the machine. A vacuum source is provided to create a depression and a valve is provided to cyclically vary the depression in the suction cylinder between a first, relatively high value, substantially during the phase of the cycle of the machine corresponding to the acceleration of the web, and a second, relatively low value, during the rest of the cycle.
