Patent ID: 7162954

Claim:
A process for determining the cutting positions of a plurality of web strands, wherein said web strands are brought together into a bounded strand in a rotary printing press and are cross-cut, said process comprising the steps of: a) bringing together said web strands into a bounded strand; b) recording a common measured value for said cutting position of said web strands in the bounded strand; c) recording, for each of said web strands, an individual strand measured value for said cutting positions of said web strands before bringing said strands together; d) using said recorded common measured value in a common control device to determine said cutting positions of said web strands in said bounded strand; and e) forming a common adjusting signal for said bounded strand in said common control device by comparing said common measured value with a set point value, wherein for each web strand, an individual adjusting signal is formed, and wherein said common adjusting signal and said respective individual strand measured value are used to form said respective individual adjusting signal.
