Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2783586A1] The processing machine (100) has base frames (104A,104B) provided with a back plate. The function modules perform a manufacturing function on a rod-shaped article. A mounting plate (170) attaches the function module to the back plate as a unit. A dedicated drive motor is supported on the mounting plate and is adapted to move a portion of the function module. The function modules are provided with a rod infeed module, a hopper module, a drum module, a knife module, and a gluing module. The mounting plate is adapted to attach an auto bobbin changeover module to the back plate. An independent claim is included for a method for configuring a modular processing machine.
