Abstract:
A method for removing a plurality of die-cut products from an operating area of a die-cutting apparatus having multiple dies, comprising the following steps:substantially simultaneously picking up a plurality of die-cut products at a pick-up point in the operating area; substantially simultaneously moving the die-cut products from the pick-up point to a delivery point outside the operating area; substantially simultaneously releasing the die-cut products at the delivery point, the die-cut products being fixed with respect to one another at positions which substantially correspond positions with respect to one another which they adopt at the pick-up point; and moving the die-cut products from the delivery point to a discharge point located outside the die-cutting apparatus, wherein the separate die-cut products are each held at a different position, wherein the separate die-cut products each follow a different discharge trajectory, and wherein, at the discharge point, the die-cut products are sorted on the basis of their origin from a specific die.
