Sheet processing machine with shaping device and upper suction transport means

A sheet processing machine comprising:

• at least a first shaping device;
• at least a first sheet delivery unit, arranged downstream of the at least first shaping device along a transport path provided for a transport of sheets, the at least first shaping device having at least a first shaping point, which is formed by one of at least a first forme cylinder, and at least a first impression cylinder;
• at least a first separation device for removing scrap pieces from sheets being transported, the at least first separation device being arranged downstream of the at least first shaping point along the transport path provided for the transport of sheets, the at least first separation device having at least a first separation transport device;
• at least a first selective transport device, the at least first selective transport device being arranged following the at least first separation transport device along the transport path provided for the transport of sheets, the at least first selective transport device being configured as at least a first upper suction transport device for a hanging transport of sheets;
• a second transport device, which is configured as one of a second upper suction transport device and as a hanging sheet transport device, the second transport device being arranged extending continuously from a point downstream of the at least first separation transport device to a point above a delivery pile carrier of the sheet delivery unit along the transport path provided for the transport of sheets;
• at least a first sheet decelerating device, the at least first sheet decelerating device being arranged downstream of the at least first selective transport device along the transport path provided for the transport of sheets, and being arranged at least partially above a delivery pile carrier of the sheet delivery unit;
• and
• at least a first sheet diverter, the at least first sheet diverter being usable for channeling sheets onto a bypass transport path that bypasses the at least first sheet decelerating device, the at least first sheet diverter being arranged between the at least first separation device and the at least first sheet decelerating device other, along the transport path provided for the transport of sheets.
