Abstract
A stacker includes a placement part that stacks thereon sheets discharged from a discharge port by a conveyor that conveys the sheets; a side guide that regulates edges of the sheets in a width direction intersecting a discharge direction of the sheets; a guide driver that moves the side guide along the width direction; and a controller configured to control the guide driver to position the side guide at a position where the sheet discharged from the discharge port is supported from below by the side guide.

A stacker comprising:
- a placement part that stacks thereon sheets discharged from a discharge port by a conveyor that conveys the sheets;
- a side guide that regulates edges of the sheets in a width direction intersecting a discharge direction of the sheets;
- a guide driver that moves the side guide along the width direction;
- a controller configured to control the guide driver to position the side guide at a position where the sheet discharged from the discharge port is supported from below by the side guide;
- and
- a level sensor, wherein when the level sensor detects that the sheets stacked in the placement part have reached a predetermined height, the controller controls the guide driver to move the side guide to a position where the side guide does not support the sheet from below.

A machining processing device comprising:
- a conveyor that conveys sheets;
- a cutting part that cuts the sheets conveyed by the conveyor along a conveyance direction;
- a placement part that stacks thereon the sheets cut by the cutting part and discharged from a discharge port by the conveyor;
- a side guide that regulates edges of the sheets in a width direction intersecting a discharge direction of the sheets;
- a guide driver that moves the side guide in the widthwise direction;
- a controller configured to control the guide driver to position the side guide at a position where the sheet discharged from the discharge port is supported from below by the side guide;
- and
- a level sensor, wherein when the level sensor detects that the sheets stacked in the placement part have reached a predetermined height, the controller controls the guide driver to move the side guide to a position where the side guide does not support the sheet from below.
