A method for producing individual strip-shaped objects, in particular objects that are suitable for consumption, in particular sticks of chewing gum, said method having the following steps: - supplying substantially rectangular sheets, from which the strip-shaped objects are to be formed, wherein the length of the shorter sides of the sheets corresponds substantially to the length of a strip-shaped object to be formed, and wherein several grooves which extend parallel to one another are arranged at identical spacings in the sheets substantially parallel to the shorter sides of the sheets, wherein the spacing between two grooves arranged side by side in each case corresponds to the width of a strip-shaped object to be formed; and - forming individual strip-shaped objects from the sheets which are supplied individually following one after another in their longitudinal direction, wherein this step includes the following steps: - separating in each case an individual strip-shaped object from the sheet in each case at its front end in the conveying direction along the frontmost groove; and - forming a defined spacing between the individual consecutive separated strip-shaped objects in the conveying direction for a subsequent onward conveying of the formed strip-shaped objects; characterized in that the step of forming the individual strip-shaped objects includes the following further steps: - detecting an actual position of each individual separated strip-shaped object in the conveying direction during the separation of the strip-shaped objects from the sheet; and - correcting the position of the individual separated strip-shaped objects in the conveying direction if the detected actual position of the strip-shaped object does not correspond to a position which matches the defined spacing between the individual consecutive strip-shaped objects for a subsequent onward conveying of the formed strip-shaped objects; - wherein several consecutive conveying devices (21, 22, 23, 24, 30) are provided, wherein the first conveying devices in the conveying direction grasp the supplied consecutive sheets and convey them onward, and wherein the conveying devices (22, 23, 24) following in the conveying direction separate the individual strip-shaped objects from the sheets and grasp the separated individual strip-shaped objects and convey them onward, wherein the conveying speeds of individual or of all of the consecutive conveying devices (21, 22, 23, 24) are controllable in such a manner individually that the individual separated, consecutive, strip-shaped objects have the defined spacing from one another in the conveying direction for a subsequent onward conveying of the formed strip-shaped objects. - supplying substantially rectangular sheets, from which the strip-shaped objects are to be formed, wherein the length of the shorter sides of the sheets corresponds substantially to the length of a strip-shaped object to be formed, and wherein several grooves which extend parallel to one another are arranged at identical spacings in the sheets substantially parallel to the shorter sides of the sheets, wherein the spacing between two grooves arranged side by side in each case corresponds to the width of a strip-shaped object to be formed; and - forming individual strip-shaped objects from the sheets which are supplied individually following one after another in their longitudinal direction, wherein this step includes the following steps: - separating in each case an individual strip-shaped object from the sheet in each case at its front end in the conveying direction along the frontmost groove; and - forming a defined spacing between the individual consecutive separated strip-shaped objects in the conveying direction for a subsequent onward conveying of the formed strip-shaped objects; - separating in each case an individual strip-shaped object from the sheet in each case at its front end in the conveying direction along the frontmost groove; and - forming a defined spacing between the individual consecutive separated strip-shaped objects in the conveying direction for a subsequent onward conveying of the formed strip-shaped objects; - detecting an actual position of each individual separated strip-shaped object in the conveying direction during the separation of the strip-shaped objects from the sheet; and - correcting the position of the individual separated strip-shaped objects in the conveying direction if the detected actual position of the strip-shaped object does not correspond to a position which matches the defined spacing between the individual consecutive strip-shaped objects for a subsequent onward conveying of the formed strip-shaped objects; - wherein several consecutive conveying devices (21, 22, 23, 24, 30) are provided, wherein the first conveying devices in the conveying direction grasp the supplied consecutive sheets and convey them onward, and wherein the conveying devices (22, 23, 24) following in the conveying direction separate the individual strip-shaped objects from the sheets and grasp the separated individual strip-shaped objects and convey them onward, wherein the conveying speeds of individual or of all of the consecutive conveying devices (21, 22, 23, 24) are controllable in such a manner individually that the individual separated, consecutive, strip-shaped objects have the defined spacing from one another in the conveying direction for a subsequent onward conveying of the formed strip-shaped objects.
