Abstract: A delivery device for a sheet-processing machine, comprises at least one deposition station and a conveyer station, by the use of which, upstream-processed sheets of printed material can be picked up in a transfer location, and can be conveyed through the deposition station via a first conveying system, where they can be deposited optionally to form a stack, or can be conveyed beyond that stack. A holding device, which holds down the uppermost sheet of the stack during the transfer of a sheet to be conveyed against an entrainment or a lifting, is provided with one or with a plurality of holding assemblies which are spaced apart from each other transversely to the transport direction. A sheet-guiding element may be provided, which adjoins the deposition station and which is variable in its vertical position with at least its upstream end by the use of an actuating drive.

Abstract: Please add the Abstract of the Disclosure, as set forth on the separate accompanying sheet. This Abstract of the Disclosure is essentially the same, in content, as the Abstract which is a part of the published PCT application, WO 2017/202762A1. No new matter is being presented by the addition of this Abstract of the Disclosure.

Abstract: A device for processing substrates uses a separation system. Processed substrates can be separated into one or more waste parts and at least one blank. Improved flexibility for treating substrates is provided. The separation system comprises a transport cylinder and a stripping cylinder associated therewith. The transport cylinder has first openings and has a detachably secured packing having depressions in which perforations are formed, with at least one perforation covering at least one first opening. The stripping cylinder has a detachably secured packing having raised areas that correspond to the depressions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for reading information stored on an information plate (6, 7) and/or writing information on an information plate (6, 7), comprising a stacking unit for the storage of at least two information plates in storage compartments (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The invention is characterized in that the stacking unit comprises an electromechanical switching unit for detecting the information plates (6, 7) and in that the switching unit can be operated by the plate edges of the information plates (6, 7).
