Abstract: The invention relates to an individual-sheet stacking apparatus including a frame, a support which is displaceably guided at the frame and which is fitted with a rest surface for the individual sheet stack and having a pressurizing spindle to alternatingly shift and release the support. The pressurizing spindle consists of a pressurizing shaft rotatably supported at the frame, two pressurizing spindle lateral elements affixed to the pressurizing shaft, and at least two glide shafts configured in a fixed or rotatable manner at the pressurizing spindle lateral elements, the glide shafts being fitted with glide rollers. A drive means drives the pressurizing spindle into rotation.

Abstract: The device for the processing of bank notes has a modular design. It has at least one inlet (311) and at least one outlet (361.1 361.2). The device contains a fixed part (1) and interchangeable mobile modules (31-36) each for performing a complete processing function upon the bank note-like objects to be processed. The modules (31-36) are insertable into the fixed part (1) in such a manner, that a desired work sequence for processing the bank notes is performable. To such an extent as is possible, electric lines, components and motors (41) are mounted on the fixed part (1); the forces and/or torques required by the modules (31-36) are transmitted to the modules by means of transmission (51.1, 52.1). The modules (31-36) are pluggable into pins (2.1, 2,2, . . . ) attached to the fixed part (1), so that they are easily insertable, removable or interchangeable.

Abstract: The slicing machine has a mounting table carrying the workpiece to be sliced by the cutting blade. The mounting table is supported on an elastically deformable measuring plate of which the deformation is measured by a measuring transducer in a position as near as possible to the plane of the cutting blade wherein the cutting force is acting. The measuring transducer has very high sensitivity in order to detect deformations in the order of fractions of a .mu.m and is thus able to properly detect the value of the cutting force. The measuring system is spaced from the cutting blade and workpiece and does not hinder manipulation and accurate fine adjustment of the workpiece. On the other hand the accuracy of the measurement does not depend on the manner in which the workpiece is mounted. Preferably deflection of the cutting blade from its plane under the influence of the cutting force is also detected and an optimum control and supervision of the cutting process may be effected based on both measurements.
