DEVICE FOR SEPARATING SHEETS IN A PILE

摘要

The device has an input compartment in which a sheet pile (10) is placed. At least the sheet to be separated (11) from the pile by a withdrawal device (80-83, 90-95) is conveyed by means of a feeder device (30-33, 40-45), which then withdraws one sheet (11) each time. In order to improve separation quality, a separating device (70-73) has been included, which initially conveys only part of the pile (10) to the withdrawal device (80-83, 90-95). To ensure that piles (10) consisting of sheets (11) of different sizes are separated reliably, an alignment device (50-55) is provided which conveys at least the sheet (11) to be separated from the pile (10) in the direction of a defined stop (20) and thus aligns the sheet (11) against this stop (20). Preferably, the alignment device (50-55) alternates with the feeder device (30-33, 40-45). A contact pressure plate (70) which exerts a predetermined pressure on the pre-separated part of the pile is provided in the separating device (70-73) to enhance separation security
