Method for laterally aligning sheets

摘要

The procedure for the alignment of sheets of paper by the side edge entails feeding the sheets inside a spreading area to a laying table (1) upon which the first position of the side edge is established by a measurement device. A gripper system (6) before gripping the sheet to be aligned is brought from a half drawing distance into a transfer position against the drawing direction, and after gripping the sheet is moved by the whole drawing distance in the drawing direction.
