  • Patent number: 7267053
    Abstract: The invention relates to a delivery device for a sheet-processing machine. The object of the invention is providing a delivery device on a sheet-fed rotary printing machine, that can be universally used and permits quality control of the printed and/or laminated sheets. to this end the delivery device includes rotating sheet feeding system 5 supplying the printed sheets to a first delivery stack 9 and with a drum 7 acting as a turnout point in front of this delivery stack 9 in the transport direction 2 for selective sheet removal. The drum 7 is allocated to the sheet feeding system 5. A vacuum table 14 coupled with a pneumatic system and with at least one rotating suction belt for suctioning, transporting, and positioning a sheet is arranged downstream from the drum in its rotational direction. At least one quality control device 12 for inspecting the sheet is arranged at a distance to the vacuum table 14, with the second delivery system 8 being arranged downstream from the vacuum table 14.

  • Publication number: 20060011078
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a delivery unit on a sheet-fed processing machine, preferably a sheet-fed printing or sheet-fed varnishing machine. The aim of the invention is to provide a delivery unit of this type such that permits in-line transport of printed and/or varnished sheets to at least one additional production line. To this end, the delivery unit 1 includes an endless revolving sheet conveyor system 5 that conveys the sheets to a first delivery stack 9 and a sheet withdrawal drum 7 that functions as a diverter for transferring sheets to a second stacking system. The sheet withdrawal drum is arranged upstream of this delivery stack relative to the conveying direction. A sheet transport system 20 is arranged downstream of the drum 7 and a folding module 12 is arranged downstream of the sheet transport system in the rotational direction 10 of the drum.
