Method and apparatus for transporting signatures along a path between two conveyors.

摘要

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for stacking signatures into a plurality of individual bundles. The signature are conveyed to a stacker (200) by an infeed conveyor (100). The stacker (200) places counted stackes of signatures on a turnable (300) from where the individual bundles are ejected by ejecting means (303, 304) after stacking. The infeed conveyor is operated at a selected speed. The stacker, the turnable and the ejecting means are operated at a speed which is a function of the rate of speed of signatures delivered by the infeed conveyor to the stacker.
