  • Sheet counter system with controlled braking
    Patent number: 5541393
    Abstract: A sheet counter system includes a feeding section, a carrying section, a counting section, a stacking section and a control section. When the length of a sheet or the like is less than a length reference value, the control section starts braking of the feeding section when the front end of an n-th sheet (n is a predetermined set value) which has been fed out is detected by the counting section. When the length of the sheet is greater than the length reference value, the control section starts braking of the feeding section when a carrying distance after the front end of the n-th sheet which has been fed out is detected by the counting section reaches a predetermined distance to thereby stop feeding by the feeding section when the counted result of the counting section reaches a predetermined number of sheets. Control can be performed by taking feeding speed into consideration.
