1-50. (canceled)
A gripper carriage for transporting a sheet (22) in the sheet transport direction (29) along a sheet transport path (23), wherein at least one radiation dryer (24, 25) is arranged along the sheet transport path (23), wherein the gripper carriage (19) has a wall (20) and a reflector (27), characterized in that the reflector (27) is assigned to a flank (07) of the wall (20) which is trailing with respect to the sheet transport direction (29), and in that the reflector (27) has a reflectivity of at least 40% for the radiation of the radiation dryer (24, 25).
A sheet processing machine having at least one radiation dryer (24, 25), located along a sheet transport path (23), and at least one gripper carriage (19), wherein the gripper carriage (19) is guided along the sheet transport path (23) in order to transport a sheet (22) in the sheet transport direction (29) and wherein the gripper carriage (19) has a wall (20) and a reflector (27), characterized in that the reflector (27) is assigned to a flank (07) of the wall (20) such that the reflector reflects radiation that is emitted by the radiation dryer (24, 25) with at least one component in the sheet transport direction (29) in a direction opposite the sheet transport direction (29), and in that the reflector (27) has a reflectivity of at least 40% for the radiation of the radiation dryer (24, 25).
A method for transporting sheets in the delivery of a sheet processing machine that includes at least one radiation dryer (24, 25), arranged along a sheet transport path (23), and at least one gripper carriage (19), wherein the gripper carriage (19) is guided along the sheet transport path (23) in order to transport a sheet (22) in the sheet transport direction (29), and wherein the gripper carriage (19) has a reflector (27) for the radiation emitted by the radiation dryer (24, 25), characterized in that the reflector (27) directs radiation emitted by the radiation dryer (24, 25) onto the sheet (22) being transported by the gripper carriage (19), and in that the reflector (27) has a reflectivity of at least 40% for the radiation of the radiation dryer (24, 25).
