Abstract: Provided is a pile preparation unit for changing a pallet support of a pile of sheets with a first end and a second end where the pallet has a support side supporting the pile of sheets at the first end. The pile preparation unit may include a rotation unit configured with an infeed opening for receiving a pallet with a pile of sheets, the rotation unit configured with a rotating structure to rotate a lift unit about a rotational axis. The lift unit is configured with a lift structure fixed to the rotating structure and has a lift plate movable along the lift structure to engage with the second end of the pile of sheets and to move and position the pile of sheets transverse, relative to the rotational axis, providing a portal for changing a pallet.

Abstract: A conveyor with a belt for transporting an object between a first end and a second end of the conveyor is provided. The conveyor may have a first belt drive transmission at the first end and a second belt drive transmission at the second end. The drive transmission may be configured as freewheel-types in respective directions. The conveyor may have an intermediate transmission system arranged between the first end and the second end and having a first communication with the first belt drive transmission and having a second communication with the second belt drive transmission. The conveyor may have a drive system in communication with a drive shaft in the intermediate transmission system, and may be configured to turn the drive shaft bidirectional in a first drive direction and a second drive direction.

Abstract: Provided is a pile preparation unit for changing a first pallet with a second pallet, the pallets for supporting a pile of sheets with a first end and second end where the pallet has a support side, supporting the pile of sheets at the first end and an opposite base side. The pile preparation unit may include a rotation unit configured with an infeed opening for receiving a pallet with a pile of sheets. The rotation unit is configured with a rotating structure to rotate a lift unit about a rotational axis. The lift unit may be configured with a lift structure fixed to the rotating structure and has a lift plate movable along the lift structure to engage with the second end of the pile of sheets and to move and position the pile of sheets transverse, relative to the rotational axis, providing a portal for changing a pallet.

Abstract: A pile preparation unit for preparing a pile of sheets is provided. The pile of sheets has a first end, which first end is optionally standing on a pallet, and opposite a free second end, a front edge side and a side edge side. The PPU includes a rotation base configured for standing on a floor and for supporting a rotation unit, configured with an infeed side for receiving a pile of sheets in a feed direction. The pile of sheets may optionally be on a pallet. The rotation unit may have a rotation unit frame with a rotation unit frame cross section. The rotation unit may be configured with an edge side support unit, configured with an edge side support face to support an edge side of the pile of sheets when the pile of sheets is in a rotated position to lean on the edge side support face.

Abstract: Provided is a pile sheet remover system for preparing a pile of sheets with a height, a free end, and a side of sheet edges for processing in a pile preparation unit. The PSR may include a sheet removing unit having a support frame supporting a moving frame, configured for a linear movement in an attack direction towards the side and the free end of the pile of sheets. The moving frame may have a side support plate with a side support face arranged to face and apply to the side of the pile of sheets. The PSR may have a grab plate arranged with a grab face essentially perpendicular to the side support face and extending beyond the side support face in the attack direction, configured with a grab actuator for a grab movement towards the free end of the pile of sheets.
