  • Sheet feeder having a drive for the synchronized feeding of sheets to a sheet-processing machine
    Patent number: 7316394
    Abstract: In a sheet feeder for a sheet processing machine, such as a sheet-fed rotary printing press, and initial torque spike when the sheet feeder is first switched into the system is reduced with a switch-on torque limiter. The torque limiter is disposed in the drive train between the sheet processing machine and the sheet feeder, so that a torque surge which occurs when the sheet feeder is coupled in at an increased basic speed of the sheet processing machine can be absorbed.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and device for transporting sheets to a sheet processing machine
    Publication number: 20060288892
    Abstract: A method and a device for feeding sheets to a sheet-processing machine, especially a printing press, includes gripping a moving sheet at a sheet edge with grippers and determining a sheet location in a gripper bite. Upon deviation from a nominal or desired location, a correction of the sheet location in or opposite to a transport direction is performed transversely and obliquely thereto, and the sheet is transferred acceleratedly to a rotating advancing system.
