To provide an exchanger unit which can exchangeably configure embossing rolls of embossing devices that are used for processing two-dimensionally expanded material.
The exchanger unit can be configured, for example, as a tube 2 with terminal locating surfaces 8, 9. The stand 13 of an embossing device 14 has corresponding seats 11, 12 that are adapted to the respective exchanger units 2 with high precision. The embossing rolls 1, 4 that are received in the exchanger units 2 are thus in their working positions once the embossing roll 1 is inserted and is received by the seats 11, 12 pertaining to the locating surfaces 8, 9 of the fixing elements and no further adjustment needs to be carried out. Especially the driven embossing roll 1 of such an embossing device 14 can be exchanged with substantially less effort, which makes it possible to quickly perform maintenance work and rearrange the production.
