WEBPATH CONTROL DEVICE

A web transport control device having a plurality of rotary frame units each of which includes a carrier frame, a rotary frame parallel thereto and carrying an input roller and an output roller for a material web, and pivotably supported on the carrier frame, a web guiding system arranged such that each of the material webs is fed to one of the input rollers, deflected thereat and then deflected again at the output roller, wherein the rotary frame units are nested one in the other such that web sections of the webs that extend between respective input and output rollers are parallel to one another and the spacing between two neighboring web sections is not larger than the sum of diameters of the input and output rollers, and the input rollers are offset relative to one another in the direction parallel to the web sections.
