Abstract
A device for separating sheet material has an actuator and a sheet material holder coupled thereto. The actuator is designed for moving the sheet material holder. The sheet material holder is designed for receiving an individual sheet material piece from a sheet material stack in which the sheet material pieces are arranged in a layered manner one above another along a vertical direction. The actuator is designed to set the sheet material holder into an oscillating rotational movement about a rotation axis that lies substantially parallel to the vertical direction, in order to receive the individual sheet material piece from the sheet material stack.
Claims16
A device for singularizing sheet material, having an actuator and a sheet-material receiver coupled thereto, wherein the actuator is configured for repositioning the sheet-material receiver, and wherein the sheet-material receiver is configured for receiving an individual sheet-material piece from a sheet-material stack in which a multiplicity of sheet-material pieces are disposed in a layered manner on top of one another along a plumb-line direction,
- wherein
- the actuator is configured for setting the sheet-material receiver in an oscillating rotary motion about a rotation axis that lies substantially parallel with the plumb-line direction, so as to receive the individual sheet-material piece from the sheet-material stack.
A method for singularizing sheet material by means of a device having an actuator and a sheet-material receiver coupled thereto, wherein the actuator is configured for repositioning the sheet-material receiver, and wherein the sheet-material receiver is configured for receiving an individual sheet-material piece from a sheet-material stack in which a multiplicity of sheet-material pieces are disposed in a layered manner on top of one another along a plumb-line direction,
- wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- setting the sheet-material receiver in an oscillating rotary motion about a rotation axis that lies substantially parallel with the plumb-line direction by means of the actuator, so as to receive the individual sheet-material piece from the sheet-material stack.
