Abstract
The invention relates to a conveyor unit constituting a separating and feed mechanism (33), in particular for sheet-shaped workpieces, in particular sheets (3) to be printed, with a lifting mechanism (2) for transporting the sheet (3) vertically and a conveyor track with conveyor means (51, 52) for transporting the sheet (3) horizontally. This being the case, the conveying means (51, 52) are displaceable in a guide system between an operating position for feeding the sheet (3) to a production unit (36), in particular a printing machine (37), and a non-operating position to enable the sheet (3) to be lifted unhindered from a sheet stack (39).
Claims44
Conveyor unit, in particular for sheet-shaped workpieces, with a lifting mechanism for transporting the workpieces vertically and a conveyor track with conveyor means for transporting the workpieces horizontally, wherein the conveyor track (1) is of a foldable design in order to free up the transport path for the lifting mechanism (2).
Conveyor unit with a separating and feed mechanism (33) for sheet-shaped workpieces in a production unit (36), e.g. a printing machine (37) for printing a sheet (3), with a separating device (34) in the form of a lifting mechanism (2) for lifting the sheet (3) from a sheet stack (39) and having a feed mechanism (35) for conveying the sheet (3) to the production unit (36), and conveyor means (51, 52) of the feed mechanism (35) are disposed in a machine frame so that they can be displaced in a machine frame (38) of the separating and feed mechanism (33) between a non-operating position outside of a lifting range (62) of the sheet (3) and an operating position between the raised sheet (3) and the sheet stack (39) wherein, when the conveyor mechanism (49) is displaced from the operating position into the non-operating position, it is deflected from a position parallel with a support surface (40) into a position more or less perpendicular to the support surface (40).
