<p>A rotary collating machine, and method of collating, utilises the principle of peeling individual sheets of paper, card or like material from the bottom of a number of stacks of sheets (23) arranged around a flat segmented table (22a to 22f) which supports the stacks by air pressure issuing through holes (30). Perforated suction wheels (32) equispaced around the table between the segments draw down a corner of each bottom sheet as the wheels rotate beneath the stacks. The withdrawn sheets are held by suction on the wheels (32), guided down through slots between the table segments (22a to 22f), inverted athey are peeled away, and deposited in catching trays (36) beneath the table to build up collated sets which can be removed by a stripper bar (38).</p> |
