the stacking plate 10 is on means of transport 11 attached, which are connected to an elevator, not shown.
the top a sheet separator 12 is assigned to the stack 9.
the sheet separator 12 has a suction cup 13 and transport suction device 14 and rear edge stops 15.
the bow separator 12 is provided in the sheet feeder 1 in a height-adjustable manner by means of an actuator 16. About that In addition, the sheet separator 12 can be used to adapt the format in or against a transport direction 17 are moved.
the sheet separator 12 is one in the embodiment associated with the height level of the stack 9 scanning device 18.
the scanner 18 can also be provided at any other point on the sheet feeder 1.
the sheet separator 12 is driven by means of a first individual drive 19 which e.g. as Electric motor can be formed.
a first individual drive 19 which e.g. as Electric motor can be formed.
Blowers 36 are also provided for pre-loosening the sheets 8 on the stack 9 and to blow off the sheet 8 during transport.
9 side plates 20 are arranged laterally on the stack. It is also possible to only assign laterally delimiting guide elements 20.1 to the stack 9.
a flap shaft 21 extends across the width of the stack 9 and is driven by a third individual drive 31, followed by a blowing rod 22, the blowing direction of which runs approximately counter to a transport direction 17.
the suction belt table 2.1 arranged downstream of the blowing rod 22 consists of a drive roller 23 and a deflection roller 24, between which a suction box 25 is provided, the rollers 23, 24 being wrapped around by at least one suction belt 26.1.
the suction belt 26.1 is tensioned by tensioning rollers 27.
the suction belt 26.1 is provided in a known manner with suction openings, which come into operative connection with suction bores provided in the suction box 25 during their movement in the transport direction 17, driven by the drive roller 23.
the drive roller 23 is driven by a second individual drive 28, for example by an electric motor.
Clock rollers 29 correspond to the drive roller 23 and are periodically controlled against the drive roller 23 within one work cycle.
the front marks 4 are controlled into a working position from a latching position located below the feed table 3.
a control device 32 is assigned to the feed table 3.
the vibration system 5 arranged downstream of the feed table 3 has a sheet holding system 30 and carries out a pivoting movement between the feed table 3 and the feed cylinder 6 of the feed printing unit 7.
the sheet separation and sheet conveying means driving individual drives 19, 28, 31, the actuator 16 and the control device 32, whereby further drives or measuring and control devices can be provided in the sheet feeder 1, are connected to processing electronics 33 of the sheet feeder 1, which are connected to a controller 34 of the downstream sheet-processing machine is linked.
the sheet feeder 1 is tracked synchronously to the machine via the machine control 34 and the processing electronics 33.
a rotation angle sensor 35 can be assigned to the feed cylinder 6, for example, which is connected to the machine control 34.
