  • Patent number: 11597200
    Abstract: A sheet-processing machine has a shaping device for processing sheets. The shaping device has at least one shaping point. The sheet-processing machine comprises at least one separating device. The at least one separating device is designed to remove at least one remaining piece from at least one sheet of the sheets. The at least one separating device is arranged downstream of the at least one shaping point along a transport path provided for transporting the sheets. At least one inspection device is arranged, downstream of the separating device in the transport direction of the sheets, to determine an actual state of the at least one sheet of the sheets. The invention additionally relates to a method for inspecting at least one remaining part of at least one sheet of sheets, which part has been processed by a shaping device, and to a method for inspecting at least one sheet of sheets.

  • Patent number: 11207881
    Abstract: A sheet processing machine has at least one shaping device and at least one sheet delivery unit, arranged downstream of the at least one shaping device along a transport path provided for a transport of sheets. The at least one shaping device has at least one shaping point which is formed by at least one forme cylinder, on one hand, and at least one impression cylinder, on the other hand. At least one separation device, for removing scrap pieces from sheets, is arranged downstream of the at least one shaping point along the transport path provided for the transport of sheets. The at least one separation device has at least one separation transport device. At least one transport device, configured as a selective transport device, is arranged following the at least one separation transport device along the transport path provided for the transport of sheets. The transport device is configured as at least one upper suction transport device for a hanging transport of sheets.
