Abstract
A transport device for a sheet-format substrate has at least one first substrate feed device and has at least one second substrate feed device. The at least one second substrate feed device comprises at least one forward stop and at least one singulating device. At least one substrate guiding device is arranged between the at least one first substrate feed device and the at least one second substrate feed device. The at least one substrate guiding device has at least one directing element. The at least one directing element is mounted such that it is movable or is moved in two different directions independently of one another.
Claims12
A transport device (100) for a sheet-format substrate (02) having at least one first substrate feed device (101) and having at least one second substrate feed device (160), wherein the at least one second substrate feed device (160) comprises at least one forward stop (162) and at least one singulating device (165), wherein at least one substrate guiding device (125) is located between the at least one first substrate feed device (101) and the at least one second substrate feed device (160) and wherein the at least one substrate guiding device (125) has at least one directing element (126), wherein the at least one directing element (126) is mounted such that it is movable and/or moved in two different directions independently of one another, wherein the at least one directing element (126) has at least one directing bar (134) which is mounted for rotational displacement, wherein a first of the two different directions has a greater vertical component than a second of the two different directions and wherein the second of the two different directions has a greater horizontal component than the first of the two different direction, and wherein the at least one directing element (126) is mounted at least operatively connected to at least one first linear guide (141) and to at least one second linear guide, and wherein the at least one directing element (126) is mounted for movement on the at least one first linear guide (141) and for movement on the at least one second linear guide independently of one another.
A transport device (100) for a sheet-format substrate (02) having at least one first substrate feed device (101) and having at least one second substrate feed device (160) which comprises at least one forward stop (162) and at least one singulating device (165), wherein at least one substrate guiding device (125) is located between the at least one first substrate feed device (101) and the at least one second substrate feed device (160), wherein the at least one substrate guiding device (125) has at least one directing element (126), and wherein the at least one directing element (126) is mounted operatively connected to at least one first linear guide (141) and to at least one second linear guide, wherein the at least one directing element (126) has at least one bearing rail (136), and wherein at least one bearing rail (136) has at least one bearing element (139) extending in thea transverse direction (A) of the transport device (100), and wherein the at least one bearing element (139) is arranged protruding away from the at least one bearing rail (136), which at least one bearing element (139) points at least in the direction of transport (T) of the transport device (100) and/or at least in a direction that points toward the at least one second substrate feed device (160).
A method for transporting at least one sheet-format substrate (02) using at least one first substrate feed device (101) and at least one second substrate feed device (160), wherein the at least one second substrate feed device (160) comprises at least one forward stop (162) and at least one singulating device (165), wherein downstream of the at least one first substrate feed device (101) and upstream of the at least one second substrate feed device (160), in a direction of sheet-format substrate travel, the at least one substrate (02) is transported via at least one substrate guiding device (125), wherein the at least one substrate guiding device (125) has at least one directing element (126), wherein the at least one directing element (126) is moved in two different directions independently of one another, and wherein the at least one substrate guiding device (125) has at least one supporting element (127), wherein the at least one supporting element (127) of the at least one substrate guiding device (125) supports the at least one substrate (02) against deflection and/or bending and/or for an adjustment to the thickness of the at least one substrate (02) for feeding to the at least one second substrate feed device (160), and wherein the at least one directing element (126) is displaced on at least one first linear guide (141) and on at least one second linear guide.
