System for overturning plate-shaped bodies

A method for turning over plate-shaped bodies, comprising the steps of:

• turning a plate-shaped body with a turnover system having at least one turnover device arm which is arranged so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis and which can be placed in physical contact with a flat side of the plate-shaped body to be turned over, and having at least one further turnover device arm which is pivotable about a further pivot axis and which can be placed in physical contact with a further flat side of the plate-shaped body to be turned over, wherein the two pivot axes are arranged parallel to and spaced apart from one another;
• and, adjusting a position of at least one of the pivot axes by at least one eccentric arrangement before and/or during a turnover process, the method further including measuring a respective thickness of the plate-shaped body to be turned and adjusting the position of the pivot axis by the at least one eccentric arrangement before and/or during the turnover process as a function of the measured thickness of the plate-shaped body to be turned over.
