  • Lateral positioning device for a sheet element
    Patent number: 10005631
    Abstract: A lateral positioning device (100) for a sheet element (20, 20?) in a sheet element processing machine; a detector lever (130) articulated relative to a horizontal axis, which performs a descending movement from a high position to a low position; a first end (132) of the detector lever (130) contacts, in a low position of the lever, with an upper face of the sheet element. A second end (133) of the detector lever (130) is fitted with a target (135) that cooperates with a position detector (140) to generate a signal dependent on the thickness of the sheet element (20, 20?) and the number of sheet elements (20, 20?) present at the level of the first end (132) of the detector lever (130).
