In some examples, a sheet processing machine includes at least one infeed system including at least one transport means including at least one upper holder and at least one lower holder. The at least one transport means can be and/or is arranged in at least three states: a maximally closed state corresponding to a minimal distance, a minimally closed state corresponding to a maximal distance, and an at least one mean state corresponding to at least one mean distance between at least one upper holding surface at least of the respective upper holder, and at least one lower holding surface of the lower holder of the at least one transport means that is assigned to the respective upper holder. During a machine cycle, the at least one transport means has each of the minimally closed state, the maximally closed state, and the at least one mean state at least once.
A sheet processing machine (01) comprising at least one infeed system (202), the at least one infeed system (202) comprising at least one transport means (204) including, in each case, at least one upper holder (206) and, in each case, at least one lower holder (207), the at least one transport means (204) in each case being arrangeable and/or arranged in at least three states, a maximally closed state corresponding to a minimal distance, and a minimally closed state corresponding to a maximal distance, and an at least one mean state corresponding to at least one mean distance between at least one upper holding surface (233) at least of the respective upper holder (206) of the at least one transport means (204) and at least one lower holding surface (234) of the lower holder (207) of the at least one transport means (204) which is assigned to the respective upper holder (206), the at least one transport means (204) having the minimally closed state at least once, and the maximally closed state at least once, and the at least one mean state at least once, during a machine cycle, at least one holding surface (233;
A method for controlling an infeed system (202) of a sheet processing machine (01), the at least one infeed system (202) comprising at least one transport means (204) including, in each case, at least one upper holder (206) and, in each case, at least one lower holder (207), the at least one transport means (204) being moved from the alignment position (PA) to the transfer position (PU) and/or back, the at least one transport means (204) in each case being arranged in at least three states, a maximally closed state corresponding to a minimal distance, and a minimally closed state corresponding to a maximal distance, and an at least one mean state corresponding to at least one mean distance between at least one upper holding surface (233) at least of the respective upper holder (206) of the at least one transport means (204) and at least one lower holding surface (234) of the lower holder (207) of the at least one transport means (204) which is assigned to the respective upper holder (206), the at least one transport means (204) being arranged in the minimally closed state at least once, and in the maximally closed state at least once, and in the at least one mean state at least once, during a machine cycle, at least one holding surface (233;
