Method for aligning stacked sheets in a feeder of a sheet-processing machine where a sheet to be separated is pivotable about a vertical axis extending orthogonally to a transport direction of the sheet in order to correct a skewed position

摘要

The method consists of a sheet to be separated being pivotable about a vertical axis orthogonally to a transport direction of the sheet, as viewed in the transport direction. A skewed position of sheets oncoming at the front lay or resting at the top of the sheet pile relative to the front lay is determined. The sheet pile or the single sheet is displaced, transversely to the transport direction depending upon the determined skewed position, over a displacement distance that is of such length that, after the skewed-position correction, there is a defined spaced distance between a side edge of the sheet and at least one side lay. An Independent claim is included for an alignment device.
